Specifications for Scalable Integrated Navigation System 2 (SINS-2)

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking to procure a scalable integrated maritime navigation system for installation on its fleet of boats, and as a backup navigation system on CG cutters. This effort is intended to standardize a suite of commercial electronic equipment and sensors consisting of a Multi-Function Display (MFD), Radar, Single Frequency Global Positioning System (GPS), Depth Sounder Unit with a selection of transducers, Heading Sensor, Autopilot, Weather Data Sensors, Video data recorders, Mission Data Recorders, marine grade power supplies and power converters. The integrated suite of equipment and sensors are herein referred to as the SINS-2 system. System components shall be available on the open market for a minimum of three years after contract award. To mitigate the risk of system degradation over time due to component obsolesence and ensure system integrated operation is maintained, the manufacturer may propose upgrades to existing devices and/or propose Form/Fit/Fuction next-generation devices under this contract. SINS-2 may be installed on up to 2056 vessels as the standard navigation system over the next ten (10) ten years.

Screen sizes refer to diagonal (corner-to-corner) measurement of the operational display area.

1. OVERVIEW

1.1 SINS-2

The SINS-2 specifications contain requirements identified as “Objective”. These requirements are the preferred system capabilities and will be evaluated based on degree of benefit provided. All other specifications contained herein are the minimum required specifications.

1.1.1.1.1 A scalable system that can accommodate various equipment configurations based on platform mission requirements. Scalability is defined as wide range of “ala carte” configuration options depending on vessel size and mission. Systems will range from very simple navigation equipment used on smaller open boats to integrated, multi-user systems used on larger boats and cutters.

1.1.1.1.2 System shall provide information to operators for safe navigation and operation of boats and cutters, and to provide a level of standardization across the Coast Guard’s fleet for both operators and maintainers.

1.1.1.1.2.1 In order to support the Coast Guard operators are routinely required to move from one vessel class to another vessel class. The same user interface is critical to effective operations, minimizes training and retraining programs. The system should apply Common Interface Logic (CIL) across the full range of the configurations.

1.1.1.1.2.2 The system should minimize, to the greatest extent possible, the numbers and types of components used throughout the Coast Guard. The intent of this is to minimize training and reduce the number of components managed through the Coast Guard’s logistics system.

1.1.1.2.4.4 Large Enclosed/Open Boat:

(a) Four large MFDs (or source processor units with separate displays and controllers), two RIDS, GPS, radar, depth, and heading. SINS-2 will integrate with external AIS and DSC to obtain target data, a EO/IR camera, multiple onboard video cameras, a weather sensor, and an autopilot system. Two of the MFDs and the RIDs will be mounted in an exposed bridge location.

1.1.1.2.4.5 Cutter Backup Navigation System:
