STATEMENT OF WORK

Adaptive Central Receive

1. Background

As a result of multiple radio frequency (RF) spectrum auctions by the Federal Government, the

Department of Justice (DOJ)/Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) must address the challenges of increased operations with less available RF spectrum. The DEA Adaptive Central

Receive (ACRx) Project is a shared technology initiative to support law enforcement video surveillance operations. The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), citing severe limitations to the current model of dividing available spectrum into exclusive frequency assignments, recommended to the President that the U.S. Government adopts a policy of sharing spectrum to the maximum extent possible and implementing shared use of the spectrum. This project will build upon previously tested and deployed Federal Bureau of

Investigation (FBI)/DEA systems. These systems have features that allow spectrum sharing with other Federal entities.

The DOJ agencies have a requirement to monitor video from stationary and mobile cameras deployed within urban environments. This wireless video capability will support special events, surveillance and security applications. An infrastructure utilizing microwave RF links between permanent fixed sites (located on towers, tall buildings, mountain tops, etc.) and the remote camera locations will be required. The uplink spectrum used for the video payload will be shared with other government users. The downlink spectrum used to control the remote transceivers and camera operations will be dedicated spectrum.

2. Objective

The objective of this acquisition is to procure the equipment and services to support the DOJ and the DEA ACRx wireless video collection system.

The ACRx is a centralized video transmission and collection system designed to maximize coverage area and support a scalable number of IP video surveillance streams. ACRx systems will be installed across the United States and will be shared by the agencies within the DOJ.

The systems will be deployed to cover the larger metropolitan areas of the U.S. The expected coverage of each system will encompass the majority of the metropolitan area while utilizing multiple receive locations ACRx Nodes. The system will minimize the number of nodes needed to support a maximum number of IP video surveillance streams. One, two, three or four nodes per metropolitan area can be expected depending on terrain, building density and geographic area to be covered.

3. Scope

The DOJ has identified a need to establish a system based upon Digital Video Broadcast – Terrestrial (DVB-T) / Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) technology with modifications towards bi-directional IP links and narrowband channels. The scope of this requirement encompasses the system design, manufacture, site selection and physical surveys, installation, testing, ancillary equipment, system acceptance planning, system service improvements, training, and maintenance of turnkey systems.

Point to point or tactical systems shall be included in the scope of this project and must be compatible with the ACRx system.

IP microwave backhaul between sites is included in the scope of this SOW.

4. Tasks or Requirements

4.1 Overall System:

The Contractor shall be responsible for the project management, planning, manufacture, site surveys (including input to the Government regarding any tower and/or rooftop installation), issues, conditions, and/or recommendations), installation, testing, training, and maintenance of ACRx system components (described below) and any other requirements identified through subsequent Task Orders. All Task Orders will be performed within the terms and specifications of this contract. The ACRx system will be based on Digital Video Broadcast (DVB-T) / Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) technology with modifications towards bi-directional links and narrowband channels.

4.1.1 The system must be capable of operating all 36 services on a single antenna sector or dispersed throughout the multiple sectors as dictated by the operational environment. The system coverage from a single site must be capable of providing 20 mile coverage from the site with the following factors for coverage/ range reference: Point to ACRx site with Line of Sight, 20dbm transmit power, 2dbi transmit antenna gain, 15dbi receive antenna gain, and 2Mbps throughput.

4.1.2 The Network Management System (NMS) identified below in Section 4.6., will control and report to all components attached to the ACRx. Another function of the NMS is to automatically establish and continually maintain an optimized bi-directional communications link for each device based on available spectrum resources and user required video throughput.

At a minimum, the system shall have the ability to automatically adjust frequency, modulation, transmitter output power, and RF bandwidth to meet this requirement. The decisions made by the NMS must be executed with spectral efficiency being the most important factor. This is a primary architecture requirement because of the reduced overall RF spectrum and the shared nature of the government bands.

4.1.3 The system will be based on ETSI Standard EN 300 744. Proposed deviations to the standard will be reviewed and either accepted or rejected by the government on a case by case basis.

4.4.2 The ACRx Node will have an L band control channel transmitter which provides the function of completing the bi-directional link.

4.4.3 The ACRx Node’s control channel transmitter will send commands to all transceivers and repeaters as required to maintain the adaptive functionality described in the NMS.

4.4.4 All ACRx Node hardware other than antennas will be mounted in environmentally controlled shelters and required locking racks for installation.

4.4.5 All ACRx node equipment will operate on 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz

4.4.6 The ACRx node equipment will include an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) sufficient for a controlled shutdown of electronic equipment or transition to a secondary power source.

The UPS will provide power sufficient for a minimum of 30 minutes operation of all ACRx equipment at the site.

4.4.7 The ACRx node will continually monitor the power at the site and immediately report any power failures or abnormal conditions that substantially impair system performance.

4.4.8 The RF transmission between ACRx antennas and the hardware rack will be accomplished using RF over fiber techniques. Coax may be used for power to the antenna if required.

4.4.9 The ACR Node antennas must have a minimum of 15dBi degrees of gain in each operating band and cover 360 degrees. DEA has a requirement for each radome to support the three frequency bnds which will be installed on existing towers where tower space is at a premium.

The radome profile and size need to be minimized to have an efficient wind profile, thus reducing the wind loading. This also permits the greatest access to potential sites so as to not compromise system coverage and compromise DEA mission requirements. DEA’s single radome requirements are comparable to sizes that cellular providers utilize today

4.4.10 The ACR Node antennas will be mounted on towers and/or rooftops. A single housing must contain diplexing and combining of L, S and C band elements to minimize the amount of space required on the tower/rooftops. It will also house all filtering and fiber optic modems.

Each antenna will have a horizontal coverage area of 180* where two antennas provide 2-way diversity and 360* coverage. Four sector antennas will be used to provide four-way RF diversity.

4.4.11 Each Sector antenna must not exceed 3,500 cubic inches in total volume and must resemble LTE sector antenna form factor.

4.4.12 All receive site equipment must be housed in a single, standard 19” X 7” rack.

4.5 Backhaul Radios

4.5.1 Backhaul Radios must be capable of a 15-mile path using 4’ parabolic dishes.

4.6.1 The NMS will be located at the DOJ Office for administration/monitoring of the ACRx system and must be capable of remote network access.

4.6.2 The NMS will communicate with and control all components attached to the ACRx. This will include any device that is capable of reporting status such as receivers, antennas, power supplies and networking hardware. Another function of the NMS is to automatically establish and continually maintain an optimized bi-directional communications link for each device based on available resources and user required video throughput. At a minimum, the system will have the ability to automatically adjust frequency, modulation, transmitter output power, and RF bandwidth to meet this requirement. All automated decisions made by the NMS will be executed with spectral efficiency being the most important factor.

4.6.2.1 The NMS will have the ability for manual configuration and administration of devices and override the adaptive configuration.

4.6.2.2 The NMS will dynamically adapt a changing spectrum environment without user interface.

4.6.3 The NMS will be managed at the local level as well as at an agency specific centralized location. Each agency will have the capability to independently manage their devices connected to the system.
