About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details NASA's Advanced Capabilities for Emergency Response Operations (ACERO) project focused on improving wildland firefighting aerial communication systems. NASA seeks to procure 4 OEM Silvus 4200 dual-band radios with associated equipment, including antennas, batteries, and connector cables for ethernet and serial bus interfaces, along with Wi-Fi dongles for programming.
The technical specifications for the radios include Mobile Networked MIMO (MN-MIMO) waveform, multiple modulation types (BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM), channel bandwidths of 5, 10 & 20 MHz, DES Standard encryption, data rates up to 100 Mbps, and frequency bands ranging from 2025-2110 MHz, 2200-2300 MHz Federal S Band, and 2.4GHz ISM. The project aims to address the increasing challenges of wildland firefighting by improving aerial communication interoperability and situational awareness in high-risk, low-altitude environments.

Statement of work: Flight Radios
Background:
project.
Wildland fires are an epidemic across the United States. Decades of suppression-focused firefighting and rising temperatures have made ecosystems vulnerable to increasingly devastating wildfires. As temperatures rise, firefighting communities expect an increased strain on their procedures and resources. These resources and procedures have proven successful for many years but have been sluggish to adapt and grow alongside technological advancements. Individual agencies and organizations have slowly modernized their equipment to their own unique capabilities and standards, causing disconnect in large incident collaborations.
Aerial systems provide effective means for incident surveillance, incident management, logistics operations, and suppression in support of ground crews.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), each drop from an aircraft had an 82% probability of success. However, while successful, these operations are often in low-altitude, high-risk environments, making aviation one of the most dangerous areas of wildland firefighting.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is invested in finding ways to leverage its expertise in aviation, technology, safety, and innovation to
Management use case is part of a Concept of Operations that assess current-state airspace management practices and procedures in order to investigate and propose new ways to improve the Situation Awareness effectiveness, and safety of all wildland fire airspace participants.
What is needed:
The vender is to provide 4 OEM Silvus 4200 dual band (without the field case for use on flight systems) radios and associated equipment for field deployment like antennas, batteries, connector cables for interfacing via ethernet and serial busses. The vender is to provide Wi-Fi dongles for ease of programing for the radios.
