- Description
- PMS401 seeks information from industry entities about their capabilities and interest vis-Ã -vis the Common Acoustic Cabinet (CAC) to be procured under a small business set-aside, competitive contract. The CAC will implement Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products and non-developmental item(s) (NDI). The CAC contains upgraded signal processing capability and is reconfigurable to support processing of multiple acoustic and array sensors. The CAC is one of many MIL-Spec, environmentally qualified, water-cooled cabinets employed by the Acoustic Rapid Commercial Off-the-Shelf Insertion (A-RCI) Program to house submarine sonar acoustic processing capabilities on SSN 688, 688I, SEAWOLF, VA CLASS and SSGN submarines. The CAC consists of a series of COTS-based, reconfigurable, high-performance computing servers, high-speed switch technologies, and technologies that power various sonar sensors and monitor cabinet status. Hardware is refreshed periodically to mitigate obsolescence issues and implement reliability availability and maintainability (RAM) improvements. The CAC performs in extreme, submarine-based, operational conditions such as MIL-S 901D (Grade B) shock, MIL-E-461F electromagnetic compatibility, 0oC to 50oC ambient air temperature with a Relative Humidity of 95%, and MIL-STD-167 vibration environments. The CAC requires operation for both spray and drip environments at angles up to 45 ° per MIL-STD-108E.
