- Description
- The Coastal Systems Station (CSS), Dahlgren Division, NSWC, Panama City, FL intends to solicit Kongsberg Simrad INC., 7225 Lantry, Houston, TX 77040-6625, on a sole source basis for a sonar redesign and software development effort. The effort will rebuild the model 3000m fan-beam sonar as a split head design to facilitate integration with CSS robots. The design will weigh significantly less that the current commercial version and will be easily mountable on the vehicles. The effort will also provide CSS with software libraries to control the sonar from the vehicle?s onboard, embedded computer. Decision to proceed on a sole-source basis is based on the results of testing of multiple sonar systems that were identified as having the potential to meet the needs of a sonar system that could be mounted on the robots. This testing identified the model 3000m as having the best perfor mance of all tested models. The size and weight were prohibitive at the time of testing. Continued monitoring of the market indicates that there are no other sonars that match the performance of the model 3000m. It is now practical to proceed with the redesign effort to provide a lighter weight, more compact system for evaluation on the robot under conditions more closely matching expected field conditions. Delivery of the software will be within 60 days of award and the hardware within 12 months after the date of contract award. Delivery will be to the Coastal Systems Station, 6703 W. Highway 98, Panama City, FL 32407-7001. NAICS Code 334511 applies. Size standard is 750 employees. FSC is 5845.
