27 SOW Bird Detection Radar (BDR) System Specifications

1. SCOPE

The Bird Strike Data System shall provide collection, analysis, and presentation of the bird position and movement data to include displays and warning alerts, along with any necessary equipment needed to provide that data and will be referred to in this System Specifications Sheet as the “BDR” The scope of this effort will be that the Contractor shall deliver, set up and maintain a BDR at Cannon AFB, which can provide the following:

a. The BDR must be able to provide avian target counts, total avian radar cross-section, location (bearing, range, and altitude), direction of travel, speed, and size data for the departure and arrival corridors for Runway 4/22 and provide alerts to specific risks in the critical flight areas during flight operations (i.e.

approach and departure corridors to 4 nautical miles and local flight patterns).

b. BDR must provide 3-dimensional data (bearing, range, and altitude) to include avian target counts, total avian radar cross-section, direction of travel, speed, and size data, to include presentation of that data, for 180-degrees of coverage (90 degrees for each departure/arrival corridor of Runway 4/22) out to 4 nautical miles (nm) minimum during flight operations.

c. BDR must provide 2-dimensional data (bearing and range) to include avian target counts, total avian radar cross-section, direction of travel, speed, and size of large targets, to include presentation of that data, for 360-degrees of coverage out to 8 nm minimum during flight operations. Both range and altitude discrimination are preferable; however, altitude discrimination is essential in the Runway 4/22 departure and arrival corridors to an altitude of 2000 ft. or more. Thermal modeling shall be employed into risk analysis to better target altitudes of concern with thermals utilized by raptors/vultures.

d. BDR must be capable of providing visual alarms for condition changes.

e. The Contractor shall work with 27 SOW personnel and USDA Wildlife Biologist to establish initial operational parameters and BDR set up to include threshold recommendations for moderate and severe Bird Watch Conditions which will be established following annual risk assessment of Cannon AFB strike and BDR data. Alarm thresholds shall be set based on number, size, altitudes, and direction of travel of avian targets in each sector. Determination of size and shape of sectors shall be established during BDR set

up. Subsequent periodic updates to risk thresholds and sectors size and shape are essential and shall be based on the needs of the customer.

f. BDR must provide daily, weekly, and monthly target passage rates and directional distributions of targets by hour both horizontally and vertically. These reports are vital in creating historical data and in determining migration patterns and peak target passage rates for Cannon AFB.

g. All major components of the BDR equipment must be configured to accept external power. During power outages, the Bird Strike System must be able to provide data for 2 hours. Backup Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with additional battery units or backup generator will be added to the system to provide at least 2 hours run time during power outages.

h. Bird Strike System must be self-contained and will not be connected to any government owned/operated computer systems or networks unless authorized. Data collection and dissemination will be achieved by a Contractor provided computer system or network with high-speed data service or capability with bandwidth sufficient to stream a minimum HD video resolution of 720p or 1080p and other required data for normal operations to include remote updates; web page feeds; and other data visualization requirements. Data shall be monitored and displayed in a secure manner that allows for access through a standard web browser by computers provided by and connected to the BDR. The BDR shall be fully operated and maintained by the contractor, to include end user technical support.

i. The BDR shall include at a minimum two monitors or displays with one in the Wing Safety Office and one in Base Operations with point-to-point wireless receive capability (or other available data connections) from the BDR. Additionally, there should be an optional third monitor or display located in the Cannon AFB Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower. Ruggedized tablet-style monitor or portable laptop display is preferred.

j. All BDR data collected shall be with the 27 SOW upon contract fulfillment or termination in a format consistent with data accessibility principles. The Contractor must provide sufficient data storage of all raw data collected for up to 5 years to allow for historical data analysis.

k. The Contractor will conduct up to two scheduled site visits to Cannon AFB each year. During these visits the contractor will provide preventive maintenance on the system to include System checks, installation of software upgrades, defective or failed component replacement or repair, and performance testing. All site visits will be coordinated and scheduled with 27 SOW Wing Safety Office. This does not preclude the vendor from conducting additional assist visits at times agreeable to 27 SOW. The contractor will also provide remote 24-7 telephone and internet technical support, remote system monitoring and remote specialized radar operating system software upgrades.

l. The Contractor shall provide up to 4 reoccurring training sessions to 27 SOW personnel. Training sessions can be part of regularly scheduled assist visits.

m. The Contractor shall provide training for users on BDR operation, minor BDR maintenance, monitor/display operation, and data extraction and evaluation in association with site visits. The contractor shall ensure that appropriate on-station personnel fully understand technical system use, to include data capture, storage, and extraction.

n. Contact numbers shall be provided by the Contractor if distance troubleshooting is needed.

o. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, Federal Law(s), State Law(s), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Air Force, and installation regulations.
