SECTION B

SCHEDULE OF ITEMS

· Sensor Installation method (see B.3(a))

· Sensor / Imager

· Audio Recorder

· Weather Sensor

· Data Link with WiFi

· System Hardware

· Workstation and Data Storage

· Software, User Interface, and Products

· All equipment required to support the installation and operation of the components

(e) All system requirements must be met simultaneously under the described operational condition. For example, a system achieving the Field of View (FOV) requirement by operating at a higher altitude, or increased slant angle which results in a below requirement Ground Sample Distance (GSD) under such conditions are considered unacceptable.

Figure 1: Right; Simple Illustration of a typical WAMI System Concept of Operations (ConOps). Left; Simple illustration demonstrating the coverage area difference between an FMV and a WAMI sensor under the same operational conditions to produce equivalent GSD

Note: The US Forest Service is unsure as to which method(s) would be possible due to not knowing the multiple sensors that could be offered or compatibility with the currently installed camera door.. Offerors are encouraged to propose alternate integration methods.

(a) Approved for installation by an FAA From 8110-3 with all DER supporting engineering substantiation documentation attached or,

Note: Imagers which possess the maximum persistent coverage area available greatly enhance AFUE’s capabilities. As such, systems which produce larger coverage area while meeting all other requirements will be assessed more favorably than those meeting the minimum.

(ii) Provide oblique Ground Spatial Distance (GSD) of 2 meters or less (GSD ≤ 2 meters) at all locations across the persistent area.

Note: The actual GSD of each pixel is not uniform throughout the raw image and varies significantly with terrain height and other factors. Within this document, GSD is assumed to be the value computed using the calibrated camera focal length and camera height above average horizontal terrain. Imagers which possess a smaller GSD over the equal coverage areas will be assessed more favorably.

(5) Imager shall have a collection rate of 1-5 Hertz. Collection rates greater than 1-5 Hertz are permitted only when the increased collection rate supports onboard Multiple-frame Super Resolution* (SR) compression resulting in 1-5 hertz mission imagery (i.e. raw collection of 30 hertz is processed using SR methods to produce an enhanced 1-5 hertz product). SR is a desired feature.

*Multiple-frame Super Resolution is a technique which uses the sub-pixel shifts between multiple lower resolution images of the same scene to create an improved resolution image by fusing information from all lower resolution images to create higher resolution images of the scene

Figure 4 is for reference only. Workstation, equipment, cargo, fuel, personnel, etc. must be accounted for to ensure proper weight and balance and aircraft performance.

(1) Workstation shall not impede emergency exits or routes to exits.

(2) Workstation shall be connected through bulkhead mounted connectors with the exception of the audio connector. Bulkhead connectors shall have attached dust covers for protection when not in AFUE configuration.

(3) Workstation shall be designed to support removal and reinstallation by maintenance personnel to allow the aircraft to perform other agency missions. The installation approval must include a provision to allow this reconfiguration via a logbook entry.

(4) Workstations shall support modular component additions and upgrades.

B.6 AUDIO SYSTEM MODIFICATION

The Aircraft is currently equipped with a Becker DVCS audio control system with three ACU6101 audio control panels, one each at the pilot, copilot and forward right cabin positions. This modification requires the installation of a forth audio controller at the forward left cabin position and provisions for the two cabin audio controllers to be moved to the SO positions when in the workstation(s) are installed. The following requirements must be met.

Status flag: bit 1 (purge status) 0 = purge off, 1 = purge ON Velocity, down component – msb

Roll angle (deg) – lsb

Figure 5: AIMMS-30 Data Fields

Utilization of existing government wave relay equipment for coordinating aerial and terrestrial data collection within AFUE does not imply this configuration to be a “standard” beyond the scope of the AFUE program.

Note: The US Forest Service is unsure as to which method(s) would be possible due to not knowing the multiple sensors that could be offered or compatibility with the currently installed camera door. Offerors are encouraged to propose alternate integration methods.

(3) The Imager shall be mounted to the provided airframe in a manner which maximizes imagery capabilities while minimizing performance impacts to the aircraft. The aircraft shall be capable of maneuvering in both right and left-hand orbits without degrading data acquisition quality/or availability.

(c) The sensor integration method shall not restrict the aircraft from performing in the multi mission role. The installation can be configured for removal and reinstallation by certificated maintenance personnel to allow the aircraft to perform other agency missions. The FAA installation approval must include a provision to allow reconfiguration via a logbook entry as an approved configuration change.

(d) Sensor configuration must comply with one of the following:

(1) A primary imager in a multi-axis stabilized 360-degree gimbal. Imager shall have an unobstructed continuous pan view from 10 degrees below the lowest horizontal plane of the aircraft (in-flight), and throughout downward pointing angle(s) to the earth's surface directly (perpendicular/nadir) below the aircraft at level (0) pitch, roll, and yaw. [Imager shall have free, 360-degree rotation throughout the horizontal plane parallel to the ground in straight and level flight. In the plane perpendicular to this, imager shall have free rotation from the vertical down position upward to within ten degrees of parallel to the horizontal axis, in either planar direction from vertical. This equates to a total of 160 degrees of freedom in this axis.]

(2) A primary imager in a multi-axis stabilized 360-degree gimbal. Imager shall have an unobstructed continuous pan view from 10 degrees below the lowest horizontal plane of the aircraft (in-flight), and throughout downward pointing angle(s) to the earth's surface directly (perpendicular/nadir) below the aircraft at level (0) pitch, roll, and yaw. Additionally, the integration method shall accommodate an additional Forest Service imager. Example systems include USFS Phoenix, USFS Firemapper, LiDAR, TMAP, AMS, and WAI.

(3) A primary imager in a Look-Down-Gimbal (LDG). LDG Imager shall have an unobstructed view throughout the LDG’s range of motion.

(4) A primary imager in a Look-Down-Gimbal (LDG) with a secondary FMV imager in retractable or non-retractable multi-axis stabilized 360-degree gimbal. LDG Imager shall have an unobstructed view throughout the LDG’s range of motion. FMV Imager shall have an unobstructed continuous pan view from 10 degrees below the lowest horizontal plane of the aircraft (in-flight), and throughout downward pointing angle(s) to the earth's surface directly (perpendicular/nadir) below the aircraft at level (0) pitch, roll, and yaw.

(a) All installations and removals shall be performed by an FAA Certified Repair Station with either an appropriate class or limited rating for the individual make and model of aircraft, engine, propeller, rotor, appliance, or component part to be maintained.

(b) The contractor or subcontractor must possess and maintain FAA privileges for the return to service of the aircraft or related parts or appliance in accordance with 14 CFR 145.201 and/or 14 CFR 65.95.

(c) The Contractor shall maintain a Drug and Alcohol Program which complies with the procedures set forth in 49 CFR part 40.

(d) All maintenance must be performed and recorded in accordance with 14 CFR Ch 1 Parts 39, 43, 91 and 145.

(e) Component manufacturers, USDA Forest Service supplements to those instructions and manuals, applicable FAA Airworthiness Directives, and service instructions considered mandatory by the aircraft or component manufacturer shall also be adhered to unless otherwise ordered by the Contracting Officer.

(f) The Contractor(s) may have agreements with other appropriately rated facilities (subcontractors) for the performance of maintenance on those items that the Contractor is not rated. The Government shall approve any subcontracted service prior to the Contractor's obtaining that service.
