MOVEMENT TRACKING SYSTEM
STATEMENT OF WORK AND SPECIFICATION
The purpose of this procurement is to provide GPS, commercial computer equipment; system support software; installation kits (A-Kit), air time, associated documentation and reports; integration; maintenance; and technical support services and services to provide a world-wide two-way data communications and geo-location capability between mobile units (Handheld Mobile Unit [V1] and Vehicle Mounted Mobile Unit [V2], also called B-Kits) and designated control points (Control Stations). To the extent practical, the equipment shall represent state-of-the-art technology. MTS will support military operations on a world-wide basis in peacetime, peacekeeping and wartime operations. MTS system components shall be capable of operating without the use of direct telephone (land line or cellular) connections or LAN/WAN/INTERNET direct connectivity.
The equipment and services shall support the MTS program and operate in an open systems environment on a world-wide basis. This environment requires solutions that are compliant with open systems standards defined in the Defense Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR). As part of the technical support services provided under this contract, the Contractor may perform engineering studies, technical services, develop device drivers to facilitate the passing of data to an open systems environment compliant with the DISR and interfaces, and develop A-Kits to facilitate vehicle integration. The U.S. Army, other U.S. Armed Services, Department of Defense (DOD) Agencies, other U.S. Federal Government Agencies, and foreign allied military services shall be authorized to order from this contract.
| |
3. | OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT |
The Control Station will be operated in a fixed, heated/cooled environment (operation center, etc.), but is required to be transportable and capable of being interfaced to a LAN, and wide area network (WAN) for subsequent passing of data. No dedicated power generation equipment is required. The Control Station equipment requires standard 110-volt (CONUS) or 220-volt (OCONUS) 50/60 Hz commercial power. The Control Station is also required to operate from battery power. The V1 and V2 units will be operated in a mobile environment inside a vehicle. V1 units require battery power and an additional connection for operation from vehicle power. V2 units, mounted in a vehicle, require power from the vehicle. The V2 shall be capable of operating from standard 110-volt (CONUS) or 220-volt (OCONUS) 50/60 Hz commercial power. Power surge protection shall be incorporated into the system design.
