- Description
- The purpose of Amendment 0001 to RFI W31P4Q-17-R-0132 is to provide an answer to the following questions that were submitted: Question 1: "What type of data bit rate is necessary?" Answer 1: The data bit rate required will depend on the overall system architecture selected. Full motion video is not expected to be transmitted from all missiles simultaneously. It is anticipated that image chips from each missile may be transmitted at approximately 1 Hz. Full motion video from at least one missile must be continuously available in conjunction with the image chips described above, command and control uplink, and telemetry downlink. Question 2: "Is the video high definition and what is the desired resolution, frame rate and video duration?" Answer 2: Video resolution is tradable, but must be sufficient to identify human sized targets when displayed on a 10" or greater commercial computing tablet. 30 hertz minimum frame rate for full motion video is desired. Question 3: " "What is the transmission frequency band of interest?" Answer 3: 1625 - 1725 MHz, 1750-1850 MHz, 2010-2100 MHz Question 4: "What is the desired physical volume allocated for the datalink?" Answer 4: The physical volume and weight for the datalink is tradable. Datalinks used in similar missile systems are typically on the order of 3" x 2" x.75" or 4.5 cubic inches and weigh 2 - 3 ounces. Question 5: "Can the government provide a notional expected altitude range that the MSET missile might fly, with emphasis on what the expected maximum cruising altitude will be?" Answer 5: Notional flight altitude for the flight missile is 100 - 200 meters above ground level. The missile will be able to operate in high altitude environments greater than 10,000 feet above mean sea level. Question 6: "Can the government provide a notional expected velocity range that the MSET missile might fly, with emphasis on what the expected maximum cruising velocity will be?" Answer 6: A notional cruise velocity range for the MSET missile is 100 - 150 miles per hour. Question 7: "Can the government provide guidance on expected minimum and maximum range of the MSET missile for representative missions?" Answer 7: As indicated in the RFI, the maximum operating range for the missile must be at least 25 kilometers. Minimum range for some scenarios will be driven by the proposed system concept. Ideally, the minimum range will be equal to the safe separation distance of the missile which will be on the order of a few hundred meters, not kilometers.
