PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Mobile Off-road Terrain Measurement System

C.1 GENERAL. The objective of this contract is to provide U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) a stand-alone highly mobile off-road test course and terrain measurement system, consisting of a prime mover with integrated sensor suite, data collection hardware and software. The system shall meet the technical, training, and documentation requirements as described in this document.

C.1.1 SCOPE. This is a non-personal services contract to provide ATC a stand-alone highly mobile off-road test course and terrain measurement system, consisting of a prime mover with integrated sensor suite, data collection hardware and software. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service provider performing services herein.

C.1.2 BACKGROUND. The test facilities at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) contain approximately 64 km (40 mi) of automotive test courses on more than 1320 hectares (3300 acres) of land. Each automotive test course is designed to meet a particular military vehicle specification, and many exceed commercial standards. The courses are divided into two classifications, endurance courses and performance courses. The ATC Profilometer, also called the Profiler, regularly traverses each of the ATC test courses and collects measurements to ensure that they are within roughness specifications. Results from data collected from the Profiler ensure test course consistency over time and provide maintenance recommendations. Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I really think you should just say “Endurance courses”. RAM will confuse folks. They may understand Reliability, but the “Availability and Maintainability” are logistics issues. Comment by Duplan, Bernard E CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Roughness specifications? Comment by Mastrippolito, Luigi CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Per the ACC request for the SOW, recommend adding a section after this entitled Objectives. “This project will provide ATC a stand alone highly mobile off-road test course and terrain measurement system, consisting of a prime mover with integrated sensor suite, data collection hardware and software. The system shall meet the technical requirements described in this document as well as training and documentation requirements.”

C.1.3 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE (POP). The POP shall be 10 months from contract award date. Any changes shall only be approved by the contracting officer.

C.1.4 CONTRACT TYPE. This will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) or Mixed FFP and T&M] contract.

C.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS AND AVAILABILITY.

C.2.1 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS.

Refer to TOP 01-1-010 Appendix A for a description of the system to be replaced.

C.2.2 AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS. The government will be responsible for providing the contractor all ATC and/or Department of the Army SOPs or regulations.

C.3 REQUIREMENTS. The ATC Profilometer will be a highly mobile off-road test course and terrain measurement system, consisting of a prime mover and data collection hardware and software. The prime mover will be a rugged off-road capable vehicle. The data collection system will consist of micro-terrain measurement (scanning) instrumentation and an Inertial Navigation System (INS). The INS will be used to determine the position and orientation of the scanning hardware as the prime mover traverses the terrain, allowing the correlation of scan data frames to a common earth-referenced coordinate system. The INS consists of a high-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which produces triaxial accelerations and triaxial rotational measurements, and a differential Global Positioning System (GPS). The Profilometer will produce a scan in post‑processing by merging the INS solution with the surface scanning data. The Profilometer will include an end-to-end software package for controlling the system, processing, and analyzing data. Many of the test courses contain very soft soils that become significantly softer when saturated with water. The current profiler scanner cannot distinguish course features that will compress without significant input to the suspension. The intention of the system is to measure inputs into the vehicles under test. To mitigate the compressibility of the soil, the current version of the Laser Profilometer only uses a single line of data points from behind the wheels for course evaluation. Comment by Carlson, Ira R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Off-road, high-grade, end-to-end? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Definitely need a real specification for ‘high grade IMU’ in requirements section Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Have the Companies you’ve heard from mentioned their IMU’s? Most likely they do it the same way we currently do, but should we avoid specifying the solution? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): More fully define what we mean by ‘scan’ Comment by Duplan, Bernard E CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I would remove this and replace it with a description of what you want the new profiler to do. Do you want it to measure uncompressed, easily deformable soil? Do you want it to measure only in the prime mover’s tire paths, from the rear? Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I see Bernie’s point but I don’t think its strong enough to delete what you have here. I’d just add a line to say something like:

The current profiler cannot distinguish… The intention of system is to measure inputs into the vehicle under test. To mitigate the compressibility of the soil, the current version... Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Need to make sure to clarify that this is only for the way we currently measure RMS.

Refer to TOP 01-1-010 Appendix A for a description of the system to be replaced.

The Profiler shall have a comprehensive software package, which may be composed of one or multiple programs. The program(s) shall perform the equipment operation, with stages for data collection, merging, reduction and analysis, and results reporting. The programs will be collectively referred to as the software package. Comment by Rothman, Dena P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Attempted to address above “one or many software” point

The software package will have user accessible outputs at the different stages of data collection and analysis. At each stage the software must generate outputs in formats which can be read by widely available programs such as MATLAB or Python. The outputs from the different stages will be used for diagnostic and verification purposes, confirming instrumentation functionality and analysis accuracy. The outputs will include:

· Surface scanner outputs

· INS position and orientation solutions

· Differential GPS data

· XYZ points of the merged surface scan

· Distance vs. elevation profiles for selected paths through the surface scan

· Feature identification to include:

· Potholes (size and count)

· Washboarding

· Ruts

· Amount/location of water on course or in potholes Comment by Duplan, Bernard E CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Are we expecting it to calculate the volume of water in a pot hole? Why do we care? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Water throws off lasers and would likely throw off any other sensor they’d care to use. Want to know where the problematic areas are Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Water is an input during endurance testing. Amount of splash exposure to components. Delivery of silt to joints. Actually cooling of shocks and radiators.

Definitely not something we can currently expect the course guys to maintain.

PROFILOMETER System Requirements Each requirement maps to an associated qualification method(s) and has traceability to system requirements. Each requirement includes thresholds and objectives as applicable where:

1. Threshold (T) - Level of performance that is considered achievable at low-to-moderate risk.

2. Objective (O) - Level of performance which is the ultimate desired operational goal.

T = O Threshold and Objective are the same requirement level. Therefore, when T = O, there is no contractual obligation to exceed the Threshold requirement.

This section specifies the requirements, that is, those characteristics of the system that are conditions for acceptance. Requirements are sub organized under three overall categories: Prime Mover, Sensors, and Data. Each system element, defined as a group of related requirements, is itemized using a project unique identifier to support testing and traceability. Each system element is annotated by a unique Requirement Identifier (REQ-Category-##). Individual requirements represent constituent capabilities to enable functionality in each system requirement.

T = 24o breakover angle, 27o approach & departure angle, and 280mm of ground clearance. Comment by Schultz, James G CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Maybe a gap between T/O here?

O = > 25o breakover , > 30o approach & departure angle and >300mm ground clearance

T = 4WD with locking transfer case, low range, and front and rear locking differentials Comment by Duplan, Bernard E CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I feel that the requirement should be capability-based. They could provide a 4WD vehicle on all-season tires and meet this requirement. Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): True although idk how they would know what ‘capable of traversing PTA 5 course’ means Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Are there other requirements hitting upon capability? Like break over angle and clearance.. Perhaps we just need to add a couple more such requirements (power train, engine size). Are there any performance specs for crossing obstacles or climbing grades at low speeds that would get us everything we need? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Could be more specific with gearing but that might be overkill. Low range ratio or overall crawl ratio requirement but that doesn’t help much for the normal PTA courses. Its mostly clearance and angles. You could technically get a shitty crossover to traverse at least some of PTA 2 depending on conditions if you destroyed it but idk if just saying “you need to traverse X” will be sufficient Comment by Bowman, William A CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Should there be a spec for tire size or are we expecting tire size will be adequate from the specs for ground clearance/break over. I cant think of any vehicles that meet those without big tires but not sure.

T = O

T = Prime mover must have comprehensive skid plates protecting the oil pan, transmission, transfer case, fuel tank, and vehicle body

T = Cab space for 2 occupants without removing any sensor equipment. Climate control must be available and operable without compromising power to sensors or operation of prime mover. Ambient noise in the prime mover must be less than 75 dB while the vehicle is operating. Comment by Carlson, Ira R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Thoughtfully done. Nice Comment by Schultz, James G CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Maybe separate the dB levels out from this? This is likely independent from any relationship to occupiable space.

O = Cab space for 3 occupants without removing any sensor equipment, climate control must be available and operable without compromising power to sensors or operation of prime mover, ambient noise in the prime mover must be < 60 dB.

T = Prime mover complies with all sections of Subtitle 1 of Maryland Title 24 Vehicle Laws with all sensors in place including an overall width of 8 feet or less. Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Add specific vehicle width here or under instrumentation

T = Exterior of prime mover can be washed in a military wash rack using water at a pressure of 75psi at a flow rate of 25 gallons per minute without ingress.

T = Prime mover must start after up to 3 months storage in a non climate controlled facility. Comment by Duplan, Bernard E CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Are we going to store it for 3 months to verify this? Comment by Rothman, Dena P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Maybe - if we leave it for winter and then it won’t start, is there some clause then to say it didn’t perform? Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I don’t think we have to verify all requirements through actual tests. Test, demonstration, analysis. Analysis could be assertions through design considerations. (I think.)

O = Prime mover must start after more than 3 months storage in a non climate controlled facility.

T = Prime mover is a consumer vehicle that has a naturally aspirated gasoline powered engine.

T = Prime mover must traverse the following courses of International Roughness Index (IRI) values (in in/mi) while maintaining these minimum speeds while making valid scans without damage to the equipment. Comment by Carlson, Ira R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Do we need to introduce this acronym? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Yes, needs reference to IRI standard Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Otherwise the prime mover could be able to go at that speed, but not make scans while going at that speed.

· Paved (70-150 IRI) at 55mph

· Secondary Roads (250 -700 IRI) at 35 mph

· Cross Country Roads (800 – 1500 IRI) at 20 mph Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): That seems high, but I’d confirm if it is by comparing against course speeds for ATC’s “Cross Country Roads” in the range of 800-1500 IRI. Comment by Rothman, Dena P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Confirmed by Kevin Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): “Confirmed by Kevin”? No. Kevin can’t confirm stuff like this.

Oh, I just looked at the numbers from the TOP Table 2 and this seems reasonable. Don’t tell Kevin.

· Trails (5000 + IRI) at 5 mph

T = Prime mover must include a backup camera if rear visibility from driver seat is impeded.

T = Prime mover must include recovery provisions that comply with STANAG 4478 wheeled vehicle towing lugs.

T = O

T = System arm, disarm, software control GUI, and E Stop must be operable from the driver’s seat by a 95th percentile male and a 5th percentile female.

T = Proper signage and indicators IAW ANSI Z136.1 or similar regulatory documents relating to any type of hazardous sensor. Comment by Blumenstein, Peter C CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Redundant phrasing?

T = The system will be robustly mounted to withstand severe off-road driving as outlined in MIL 810H Large Assembly Transport. The instrumentation and mounting hardware shall not negatively impact off road performance of prime mover including, but not limited to, approach and departure angles, overall width, and ground clearance. Comment by Rothman, Dena P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Took a stab at defining, one issue in half the expected life span Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Adjusted it to just reference 810H, maybe that will be more ‘correct’

T = Assembly and disassembly of scanning instrumentation that would interfere with prime mover maintenance must be able to be completed by 2 people within a 4 hour window with standard tools, or specialty tools must be provided.

O = Assembly and disassembly of scanning instrumentation that would interfere with prime mover maintenance must be able to be completed by 1 person within a 4 hour window with standard tools, or specialty tools must be provided. Comment by Blumenstein, Peter C CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): The threshold is more difficult than the objective. 2 people should surely work more quickly than 1.

T = Scanning instrumentation must record for 4 hours continuously. Comment by Schultz, James G CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Maybe a gap between T/O?

O = Scanning instrumentation must record for > 5 hours continuously. Comment by Rothman, Dena P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Eliminated wiggle space between 4 and 8

T = Scanning instrumentation and software must not require a network connection to operate and will record to removable media.

I don’t think it hurts much to leave it in. And if you are concerned its absence would cause confusion b/c the context in Sect 1.2 is lost, then leave it in. Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Bernie’s point about possible confusion is worth considering. Our goal is to avoid such confusions. Recommend just deleing the line “Scanning instrumentation or post..” The T= line basically says the same thing.

T = Scanning instrumentation must include a mechanism to compensate for compressible soil along two wheel paths. Comment by Carlson, Ira R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Like what? Have wheels? Specific ground pressure? To compensate, or to actually compress the soil? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Old profiler document specifies 37 psi ground pressure. Not sure if we need to be that specific but definitely should do something Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Yeah, but what are you guys saying here. Are you just wanting to scan behind the wheels of the prime mover, or are you wanting some kind of contraption and the scanner records behind that?

O = Scanning instrumentation must include a mechanism to compensate for compressible soil across the entire test course width. Comment by Carlson, Ira R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Like what? Have wheels? Specific ground pressure? To compensate, or to actually compress the soil? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Old profiler document specifies 37 psi ground pressure. Not sure if we need to be that specific but definitely should do something Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Yeah, but what are you guys saying here. Are you just wanting to scan behind the wheels of the prime mover, or are you wanting some kind of contraption and the scanner records behind that? Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I can’t think of a better way than what it currently does however maybe there’s something that doesn’t involve dragging stuff.

T = Scanning system provides an accessible common time basis signal (such as an electrical pulse, TTL, etc.).

T = Scanning instrumentation produces valid scans at speeds down to 5 mph.

O = Scanning instrumentation produces valid scans at speeds down to 1 mph.

T = Scanning instrumentation must include a differential GPS and inertial navigation system with instrumentation mounted on the scanning sensor platform to correct for platform movement.

T = Operation manuals, parts lists, tool lists, and sources of supply are included at time of delivery.

T = The scan width will be 12 feet or greater.

O = The scan width will be variable between 12 and 20 feet.

T = IP65 compliant.

O = IP67 compliant.

T = The scanning frequency ranges will be sufficient to achieve 40 samples per foot at speeds between 5 and 55 mph. Comment by Rothman, Dena P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Did some napkin math based on 2000Hz sr at 55 mph Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Someone might have. Copying forward my earlier comment:

Forward density: 1000 Hz at 10 mph… 14.7 fps… 14.7 x 12 x 25.4 = 4,481 mm/sec 1000 Hz is one sample every 4.5 mm at 10 mph

So… 12*25.4/4.5 = 67.7 samp/ft at 10mph (and at 5 mph at 500 Hz)

33.87 samp/ft at 20 mph

33.86 samp/ft at 40 mph at 2000 Hz

27.1 samp/ft at 55 mph at 2000 Hz.

O = The scanning frequency ranges will be sufficient to achieve 80 samples per foot at speeds between 1 and 65 mph.

T = All scanning instrumentation is operable using a provided GUI at the driver’s seat.

T = Instrumentation must establish a common reference point based on existing features at the government facility.

T = The vertical and horizontal precisions must be within 1 mm for relative vehicle position changes less than 3 m at speeds down to 10 mph.

O = The vertical and horizontal precisions must be within 0.5 mm for relative vehicle position changes less than 3 m at speeds down to 5 mph.

T = The vertical and horizontal precisions must be within 10 mm for relative vehicle position changes between 3 and 10 m at speeds down to 5 mph.

O = The vertical and horizontal precisions must be within 5 mm for relative vehicle position changes between 3 and 10 m at speeds down to 5 mph.

O = The vertical and horizontal precisions must be within 10 mm for relative vehicle position changes between 10 and 3000 m at speeds down to 5 mph.

T = Safety equipment including but not limited to any personal protective equipment and covers for any hazardous sensors.

O = T

III. Data Requirements

T = All data recorded is exportable in a non proprietary format such as .csv. Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I added verbiage about this in the paragraphs above. I think we should keep it. Just wanted to make it jive with this requirement.

T = Data visualization, processing, and result reporting must not take longer than 24 hours to complete from the end of scanning to the production of the final reports.

O = Data visualization, processing, and result reporting must not take longer than 10 hours to complete from the end of scanning to the production of the final reports.

O = 3D renderings can be made of full course width and full course length.

T = Software can identify and count potholes, wash boarding, ruts, and bumps in test courses using user defined parameters such as height, depth, length, width, and shape. Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Specify what parameters Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Depth, length, width, etc Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): What other parameters Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Add shape?

O = Software can identify and count potholes, wash boarding, ruts, and bumps in test courses using user defined parameters such as height, depth, length, width, and shape. Software can detect if potholes or other course features are filled with water.

T = All provided software is AGM Compliant.

T = Data collection state, including errors that impede accurate data collection, INS solution health, and scanner activity shall be indicated on the GUI at the driver’s seat. Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Maybe flesh this out a bit

PROFILOMETER System Validation Pre-proposal Requirements Meeting Prospective vendors will meet at the government facility to visit and traverse the test courses, meet government personnel, and gain a better understanding of system requirements.

System Requirements Review

This is a technical review to ensure that a system can proceed into fabrication, demonstration, and test that can meet stated performance requirements. The vendor shall conduct the design review. The design review assesses the system final design as captured in product specifications and will ensure that the system has been captured in detailed design documentation. The design review shall be scheduled by the vendor prior to the beginning of the integration of the scanning system into the prime mover.

Initial System Test The initial system test may be conducted at a government facility, vendor facility, or third-party facility. The system shall measure a variety of obstacles to verify that it can accurately capture the 3D profile of test course features. The software shall be able to control the system in the prime mover and process collected data. Scan results shall be compared with existing measurements. Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Do we need to specify exactly what we are measuring? 10 in half round? calibrated rock? Something else? Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Yes, I think you do. Above there was mention of 6 courses. For AVDT it was 5 courses + 2 obstacles. You could do 4 courses and 2 obstacles. It should be more than just height. WNS… Final System Test The final system test will be conducted on ATC test courses. The system will measure 2 test courses each of primary, secondary, and cross-country terrain with a variety of permanent obstacles including but not limited to half rounds, potholes, and ATC Profile IV. The results will be compared to existing measurements and course profiles to ensure the scanning is accurate and all required data is capturable. To ensure the system hardware is robust enough to survive many years and miles of offroad courses the vehicle will perform 5 laps of ATC vibration courses as per MIL 810H Large Assembly Transport without damage to the equipment. Comment by Fonseca, Dominic R CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): How detailed do we need to be on these comparisons Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I think you need to say how you are going to compare. WNS, +/- ? RMS,. Peak +/- ? Depth of a pothole +/-? Comment by Rothman, Dena P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): Added in that we get everything Training The vendor shall develop and provide system operation and maintenance training through a combination of classroom, written instructions, and hands-on operation. The vendor shall develop and conduct training for users/operators and local maintainers to understand the functional and operational capabilities. The vendor shall provide local support maintenance training and training system documents required to support troubleshooting and maintenance, diagnostics, fault isolation, calibration, adjustments, removal and replacement procedures, use of built in test, and repair, and other tasks associated with local support maintenance. The vendor shall develop a complete training support package that integrates training products, materials, and other necessary information to train the system operation and functionality. Comment by Duplan, Bernard E CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): I would recommend a requirement for a display of real-time position measurement health (number of satellites, HDOP, accuracy, or likewise).

INS’s have some sort of initialization procedure. The ones I have used require user input to reset the device, and then you drive a set procedure and it gives you feedback as the solution converges. I recommend requiring that all of this functionality be provided through the GUI.

Recommend having a requirement for visibility from the driver’s seat. E.g., if the scanner blocks the rear window, they should provide a backup camera.

All weather floor mats? We could order them later too if they provide a carpeted vehicle.

Tow/recovery hooks? Comment by Liswell, Brian P CIV USARMY ATEC (USA): All good points. Almost completely agree. I don’t think the INS solution/health/status feedback needs to be in the same software as the laser scanner. Current system has Novatel window doing all the INS stuff, and rhINO doing the laser stuff. Insisting it be in one may box you into a worse software.

C.4 DELIVERABLES AND DELIVERY SCHEDULE:

Vendor shall deliver a highly mobile off-road test course and terrain measurement system, consisting of a prime mover with integrated sensor suite, data collection hardware and software. Vendor shall deliver complete documentation of the system, system operations, software instructions and system maintenance. Vendor shall supply the system 10 months after contract award.
