DESCRIPTION
QTY
UNIT
0001
One (1) camera array system to cover terminal operation at low altitude in the immediate airport airspace. The system should enhance SkyVision Ground-Based Detect and Avoid (GBDAA) effectiveness and coverage by integrating a visual component supporting for transitioning aircraft operations to the radar coverage floor. The system expands the role of “electronic observer” that was validated with SkyVision in a radar environment to show how EO/IR sensors can replace the “visual observer”. The objective of this system is to perform terminal aircraft operations of an uncrewed aircraft supported by EO/IR technology.

Requirements/Salient Characteristics:

· Provides 3-D positioning and 360 coverage

· High probability of detection, tracking continuity and target/track (ID, altitude, speed, heading, etc.) information for crewed airborne aircraft

· ADS-B capability installed and operational correlating flight track information with visual aircraft

· Detection range of approximately 4 miles

· Low failure rate

· Standard power requirements (110/220 VAC 50/60 Hz)

· Installation, integration (Integration means getting equipment installed and working and demonstrating the remote operation (Requirement 9) and that the data interface can be sent to another location (Requirement 10)., and training support required (Installation location slides attached). The installation, integration, and training support phases shall be proposed as individual tasks, options, or combined, but must be clearly addressed. Contractor’s preference on how they wish to cost these phases.

· Camera controls need to be operated remotely.

· Supports standard ASTERIX data interface to multiple locations.

· Environmental Protection for the system

· Training and maintenance plan options.

· The contractor will need to coordinate with Springfield-Beckley Airport on mounting and structural requirements for installing their equipment on the tower. This may require an engineering study of the acceptable loads on the tower itself.
