PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT

C.1 SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the design, development, manufacture and testing of a Spar - Tactical Sensor Mast (TSM), a moored sensor platform, with a backhaul data communication system. It includes associated program management, system documentation, and test support requirements.

C.1.1 BACKGROUND

The TSM is a moored sensor platform that hosts air, surface, and subsurface maritime domain awareness sensors at strategically important locations in coastal environments. The TSM will incorporate a passively stabilized mast with low pitch and roll motions to collect data from 30 pounds of sensors at a nominal elevation of 20 feet above sea level. A backhaul data communication system will be employed to offload a multitude of streaming data from the sensors through a standard Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) connection.

The TSM will provide enhanced maritime security at strategically and tactically important locations. The low pitch and roll motions enable high resolution air, surface and subsea data under varying environmental conditions. The low cost and high persistence of this system make it very attractive when compared with ship-based systems. The payoff is increased maritime domain awareness at reduced cost. Rapid global deployment is possible using existing Navy and commercial vessels.

The TSM will increase threat standoff, expand communications capabilities, enable earlier detection and support interdiction of threats, feed the larger global maritime domain awareness networks, and be the experimental platform from which a new generation of sensors and interdiction systems can be tested and ultimately fielded.

2. BACKHAUL DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the physical construction of the TSM buoy, design and construction of a backhaul data communication system is also required. This backhaul system is necessary to offload a multitude of streaming data from various sensor arrays from various fielded TSM buoys through a TCP/IP connection utilizing a standard Ethernet port (RJ45 connector). The TSM buoys may be placed in a variety of locations around the globe ranging from just off shore to deep sea environments.

Two requirement scenarios are specified below. The first scenario allows for higher throughput when the TSM buoy is within Line of Sight (LoS) of the receiving ground station or another node in a mesh network configuration in which at least one part of the network is within LoS of the ground station.

Additional requirements are specified for the Non-Line of Sight (NLoS) scenario where a lower bandwidth is permitted as a tradeoff for global connectivity. A satellite communications (SATCOM) solution would be an example of a NLoS system.

The following requirements are necessary for the functionality, reliability and security of the backhaul data communication system.

2.1 GENERAL SYSTEM-WIDE REQUIREMENTS FOR BACKHAUL SYSTEM

2.1.1 The backhaul system shall provide the capability to be pre-configured before fielding, such that deployment of the system only requires the system to be powered on in order to connect and fully function.

2.1.2 The backhaul system shall not have any reoccurring license fees.

2.1.3 The backhaul system shall be configurable by the end user without the need for third party assistance.

2.1.4 The backhaul system shall be self-monitoring and provide Built-In Test (BIT) capabilities.

2.1.5 The backhaul system shall be FCC licensed prior to demonstration and/or delivery of the system.

2.1.6 The backhaul solution must utilize existing technology that has been fielded and which has demonstrated that it achieves its published performance characteristics under its advertised operational conditions. Emerging technologies and not-yet-mature technologies without a service record will not be considered a viable solution.

2.1.7 The backhaul system shall be properly shielded for continuous and prolonged exposure to seawater and weathering conditions in accordance with maritime environments up to and including World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Sea State 6.

2.1.8 In the event that both LoS and NLoS solutions are used to satisfy coverage and performance, the backhaul system shall automatically determine if a LoS route is available and give preference to that mode of communication. The system shall utilize a NLoS solution as an automatic backup should a LoS link not be available for any reason, without interrupting data connectivity and without any intervention from the user of the system past initial configuration.

2.1.9 The backhaul system shall provide a single data entry point on each end of the backhaul link utilizing a standard Ethernet connection. The Ethernet connection must support 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T speeds utilizing an RJ45 Connector (Standard Ethernet pinout). This connection must support TCP/IPv4 with minimum link speeds of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps capable. In utilizing both the LoS and NLoS solutions, selection and switching between LoS and NLoS shall be transparent to the devices connecting externally on each end of the backhaul link, and switching shall occur without service interruption. In the event that a single connection solution is used, that connection shall utilize the Ethernet connection described here. All Ethernet lines shall be certified CAT5e or CAT6 or above.

2.2 LINE OF SIGHT (LoS) REQUIREMENTS FOR BACKHAUL SYSTEM

A Line of Sight (LoS) radio frequency (RF) link depends on numerous unpredictable variables that cannot be specified without considering each individual setup. However, the following LoS requirements are necessary to provide the desired nominal distance performance of the backhaul data communication system.

2.2.1 The LoS system shall be capable of a minimum link distance of at least 10 km over sea water between any two devices, given clear atmospheric conditions and appropriate Line of Sight with or without the use of height enhancing structures on either end.

2.2.2 The LoS system shall employ a method of mesh network connectivity with other LoS systems of the same type.

2.2.3 The LoS system shall have a minimum link speed of 4.7 Mbps under optimum conditions.

2.2.5 The LoS system shall support externally connected antennas on the TSM in order to accommodate the flexible placement of said antennas on the TSM.

2.2.6 Given the LoS system has been pre-configured, the system shall be designed to come up to full operation upon the application of power to its power supply lines with no other interaction.

2.2.7 The LoS system shall be tolerant of sudden disconnection and reconnection of supply power as a regular means of powering down and powering up the system.

2.2.8 The LoS system shall be able to run continuously and indefinitely for the lifetime of the system given adequate power, with no more than one power cycle per 30 days to fix errors. A power cycle is defined as disconnecting power to the power source lines and after 5 seconds reconnecting the power source.

2.2.9 The LoS system shall be able to maintain a connection in conditions up to and including World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Sea State 4.

2.3 NON-LINE OF SIGHT (NLoS) REQUIREMENTS FOR BACKHAUL SYSTEM

2.3.1 The NLoS system shall be operational globally with the exception of arctic regions traditionally inaccessible by geosynchronous satellites due to angle of incidence to the earth’s surface from the satellites.

2.3.2 The NLoS system shall have a minimum link speed of 0.490 Mbps under optimal conditions.

2.3.3 Given the NLoS system has been pre-configured, the system shall be designed to come up to full operation upon the application of power to its power supply lines with no other interaction.

2.3.4 The NLoS system shall be tolerant of sudden disconnection and reconnection of supply power as a regular means of powering down and powering up the system.

2.3.5 The NLoS system shall be able to run continuously and indefinitely for the lifetime of the system given adequate power, with no more than one power cycle per 30 days to fix errors. A power cycle is defined as disconnecting power to the power source lines and after 5 seconds reconnecting the power source.

2.3.6 The NLoS system shall be able to maintain a connection in conditions up to and including World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Sea State 4.
