- Attachment 1 - IDM Pinout THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. 1. INTRODUCTION: The Government is issuing this RFI for Improved Data Modem (IDM) Commerical Off the Shelf (COTS) modules. This announcement constitutes an official RFI as defined in FAR 15.201(e) and DOES NOT constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) or commitment to issue a RFP in the future. The Government is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals for this RFI. Respondents are advised the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI. The costs for responding to this RFI shall be borne solely by the responding organization. Responses to this RFI notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract (see FAR 15.201(e)). The information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to pursue any course of action described herein. Follow-up questions may be asked of responders for clarification, but this will not indicate a selection or preference. 2. PURPOSE : The purpose of this RFI is to identify alternate sources for the modules within the IDM. 3. IDM BACKGROUND: The IDM is an aviation based multi-channel receive and transmit terminal that interoperates with other digital message systems by processing Variable Message Format (VMF) and Air Force Applications Program Development (AFAPD) messages with their associated procedural communications protocols. The IDM supports VMF message traffic on the Tactical Internet (TI) and Private Network (PN). The IDM supports AFAPD messages on the PN. The IDM provides the essential routing and gateway functionality necessary to support seamless data communication Combat Net Radio (CNR) systems and across multiple tactical networks simultaneously. The IDM provides a means to participate in Joint Battle Command - Platform/Aviation (JBC-P/A) communications through the exchange of digital Command and Control (C2) and Situational Awareness (SA) data. The IDM also supports PN communications providing connectivity across Army Aviation platforms and connectivity with digital ground systems. The IDM has the following physical specifications: •· 5.32"W x 7.42"H x 9.03" D •· Weight of 15 pounds •· No greater than 75 Watts of power The IDM performance specifications are as follows: •· Perform from -40 to 85 o C •· Perform from 0 to 20,000 feet •· Comply with Environmental conditions IAW MIL-STD-810E •· Comply with Vibration requirements IAW MIL-STD-810E, Method 514.5 and 516.5, Procedure I. •· Comply with Electromagnetic and Power requirements IAW ADS-37A-PRF, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-704A-E •· Airworthy qualified The IDM architecture consists of six modules pictured below along with a front panel and backplane. The specifications of the modules are detailed in the tables below. The pinouts for the cards are in Attachment 1, IDM_Pinout. Power Supply Module (PSM) specifications 3U cPCI, 0.8" pitch with standard cPCI I/O 75 Watt DC/DC converter Quad output DC/DC Converter, Operates with input of 22 to 30vdc; 50VDC max, 82% minimum efficiency Outputs +5V, +3.3 V, +12V, -12V, and 28V BIT functions Comply with MIL-STD-704A-E Holdup Module specifications 3U cPCI, 1.6" high 150 ms power holdup per MIL-STD-704A-E, Category B power Operates with input of 22 to 30vdc Reverse polarity protection on input BIT functions Data Processor Module (DPM) specifications Quad Core @ 1.2 GHz Wind River Linux Operating System Provide Non-Volatile Data Storage 2GB DDR3 SDRAM 512 MB NOR FLASH 2GB NAND FLASH 2x 10/100BaseT Ethernet 2x RS232/422 2x GigE Ethernet 9x Serial 1x USB Minimum 2 each discrete outputs Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL) Minimum 9 each discrete inputs.
