66--Real-Time Wireless Sound Location, Classification and Scoring System (OB1913041) (2007-07-26)

The U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground, Yuma, AZ has a requirement for a Real-Time
Wireless Sound Location, Classification and Scoring System to locate, count
and classify multiple, simultaneous, atmospheric acoustic events produced by
military ordnance d uring testing at volumetric impact fields. This system
shall serve users in numerous geographic locations, all environments, all
weather and all light conditions. The system must have the capability to
operate on DC battery power for all instrumentation inside the volumetric
impact field and on generator power for all instrumentation within the base
station. All instrumentation must have minimum noise emissions, especially
inside the volumetric impact field. The system must operate over a range of
20 Km from the base station to the center of the covered volume. Volumetric
impact fields do not have utilities, improvements or roads. All volumetric
impact field based instrumentation must endure exposure to natural
environmental conditions 100 percent of t he time during testing. Most base
station instrumentation must mount on standard 19 instrumentation racks
inside of an environmental controlled shelter. The system must collect and
store acoustical atmospheric events for 48 hours nonstop. During all th is
time, the system must display the real-time data being collected, process the
data being collected and display the results of the processed data on multiple
remote monitors. The system central time must be referenced to coordinated
universal time (UTC) time. The system must collect and utilize real -time
atmospheric conditions, (temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and
ambient pressure), over the covered volume. The wireless communications must
be faultless and not susceptible to interfer ence or cause interference with
other systems. The system must be ready for Fast Ethernet networks. The
system CPU must be state of the art. The operating system must be MS Windows,
as recommended by Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) at the time of contract awa rd.
The current recommendation is the XP Professional version. The system
software license and code must be included, with no limitations. The system
must be capable of performing self-diagnostic tests to verify status of all
components. For data archiv ing, the system must provide a hardware
controller raid apparatus. For surveying the location of the acoustic
sensors, the system must provide real-time GPS surveying grade
instrumentation. The system must be capable of locating events in space, as
well as on the surface of leveled and unleveled terrain. The system must
classify events by acoustic signatures and keep a separate count for each type
of atmospheric acoustic signature event. The system must account for
simultaneous atmospheric acoustic even ts in the air, ground surface and air
and ground surface combination. Each atmospheric acoustic event must have its
time of day reported and corrected to the local geographical location time
zone. Each atmospheric acoustic event must have its location co ordinates (X,
Y, Z) resolved and corrected to the local geographical location coordinate
system. The system must post process data. At the post processing time, the
user must be capable of correcting the atmospherics conditions if necessary.
In addition , the user must be capable of selecting specific atmospheric
acoustical event(s) for post processing single and multiple solutions. All
exterior components of the system must be rugged for use in arctic, desert and
tropical test environments and high wind s. The whole system must resist
exposures to peak blast overpressures from high explosives at the base station
and within the volumetric impact field. The system must work during bright
and obscure light conditions. This acquisition is a 100% Small Busi ness Set-
Aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 334511
with a size standard of 750 employees. The solicitation for this projec t will
be issued on or around 17 May 2007, and will be available at our website
http://www.yuma.army.mil/site_contracting.asp with proposals due 30 days
thereafter. The Government will conduct a site visit, 22 May 2007, 8:00am, at
the U.S. Army Yuma Provin g Ground, Yuma, AZ. If you plan on participating in
this acquisition you are required to provide your name, address, phone number,
and email address and fax it to (928) 328-6849 referencing the solicitation
number. Participating vendors will then be notifi ed of site visit details and
security requirements. Offerors must be registered with the Central Contractor
Registration (CCR), in order to receive a Government contract award. To
register, the CCR Internet address is http://www.ccr.gov.
