Description of Requirement (DOR):
Emesent Hovermap ST Hand-held Mapping Sensor
REQUIREMENT
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is focused on advancing geospatial data collection capabilities to support mission planning and improve situational awareness in various operational environments. As part of an intent to build a comprehensive, simplified 3D model, not a point cloud, Local-scale Integrated Mapping of Buildings (LIMB) project’s mission is to create a final product can easily be passed across limited connectivity environments. Current 3D point cloud models are extremely large datasets that are not functional or able to be manipulated by the tactical user. To this end, ERDC has identified the need for a handheld lidar system integrated with a red, green blue (RGB) camera to collect the foundation data to generate a simplified 3D textured mesh model. Furthermore, the intent is to leverage this technology in a GPS denied environments to include interiors of buildings, sub-terranean environments, and under canopy environments. This document outlines the requirements for the specifications of the Emesent Hovermap ST, which will include a piece of hardware that has the camera and lidar together and a separate software suite.
System Requirements: See tables below for required items.
Selection Process: Technical subject matter experts at GRL will review each quote. To be considered, the quote must show that the product will meet and deliver all the specifications in the tables below. The vendor is requested to provide clear quotes showing that their products meet all the listed requirements to ensure the technical experts clearly understand that the proposed solution will meet all the required standards. Quotes that are ambiguous or are missing required information may not be selected.

Equipment Warranty: As part of the quote, the vendor is requested to provide information explaining their equipment warranty and support policies to cover system problems or malfunctions inherent to the system (i.e., not caused by customer use). Equipment that fails to perform as expected may need to be returned to the vendor for inspection or troubleshooting at their expense. As noted in table 1, the government requires the vendor will warranty equipment malfunctions inherent to the system for a minimum of 12 months.
Delivery Details: For shipping, be aware that we require the complete system to be shipped to USACE ERDC GRL, ATTN: Aaron Armstrong, 7701 Telegraph Rd, Alexandria, VA 22315.
Invoicing: ERDC GRL requires that the vendor electronically deliver the invoice for the entire contract to the government POCs and USACE Finance center as listed in the contract after ERDC GRL has received, inspected, and accepted the equipment delivery.
