Salient characteristics

BACKGROUND:

The intent of these specifications is to describe the general design and function required for a 1-person portable self-propelled autonomous underwater vehicle (hereafter referred to as the AUV) with a fully integrated and tested high-accuracy fiber-optic gyroscope inertial navigation system (FOG-INS), and able to carry a custom hull assembly described in detail below. The AUV must meet the following specifications (all items on this list must be included as specified in the base quote sub-total):

• Maximum length of 85 inches and a maximum weight of 85 pounds

• Modular carbon-fiber hull sections with a tube diameter 5.80 inches to carry a custom hull section of the same diameter that has been previously designed, built, and field tested and in which USGS is already substantially invested. Detailed technical drawings can be found in the Addendum for reference.

• High-accuracy, solid-state fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG)-based inertial navigation system (INS) fully integrated in AUV. System must support accurate heading, roll, pitch, speed and position. FOG-based INS must be capable of using the following external sensors with a Kalman filter that manages inputs without any manual intervention: GPS, long baseline positioning system, ultra-short baseline positioning system, electromagnetic log, doppler velocity log, sound velocity profiler, and depth sensor. Minimum performance required for FOG-based INS: heading (0.15 deg), roll pitch (0.05 deg), positional accuracy (0.3% of distance traveled), power consumption (12 watts).

Vendor must provide proof that the proposed FOG-INS has been fully integrated into their AUV and share documentation that the vehicle performs in various field conditions at or above the minimum performance specifications listed above.

• Rechargeable battery section that can be charged on or off the AUV for hot swap

• Maximum depth rating of at least 200 meters

• Endurance of 9 to 12 hours at 3 knots (prior to any modifications made by USGS)

• Wireless 802.11n ethernet

• Antenna mast or fin configuration with navigation lights including IR and visible LEDs with programmable strobe

• Iridium satellite data communication capabilities

• WAAS-corrected GPS

• External charge port and external gigabit ethernet port access

• Doppler velocity log (DVL) with a minimum bottom lock of 80 m, ADCP data collection, depth sensor and corrected compass

• Sound velocity sensor with direct feed to DVL

• Minimum Quad Core 1.3 GHz central processing unit and 1 TB SATA Solid State Drive

• Mission planning software including automated post-mission reporting and mission data geo-tiff (or equivalent) export capabilities, real-time mission tracking and emergency localization including Iridium two-way satellite communication with re-missioning capability

Open system platform with API to integrate a wide range of sensors including camera systems

• Forward-looking echo sounder that enables automatic object avoidance

• Underwater locator beacon

• Carrying case and stand

• Upgrade support for multi-parameter water quality sonde for limnology applications

• “Need by” date for delivery of AUV is 12 weeks after receipt of Award

• Fob Destination

Delivery: 12 weeks ARO Delivery shall be F.o.b. Destination (FAR 52.247-34)

Solicitation Development

Trawl Imaging System

E206.1 General. Where components of ICT are hardware and transmit information or have a user interface, such components shall conform to the requirements in Chapter 4.

Instructions to Offerors

1 Provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) for each commercially available Information and Communication Technology (ICT) item offered through this contract. Create the ACR using the

Voluntary Product Accessibility Template Version 2.1 or later, located at https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat. Complete each ACR in accordance with the instructions provided in the VPAT template. Each ACR must address the applicable Section 508 requirements referenced in the Work Statement. Each ACR shall state exactly how the ICT meets the applicable standards in the remarks/explanations column, or through additional narrative. All

"Not Applicable" (N/A) responses must be explained in the remarks/explanations column or through additional narrative. Address each standard individually and with specificity, and clarify whether conformance is achieved throughout the entire ICT Item (for example - user functionality, administrator functionality, and reporting), or only in limited areas of the ICT Item. Provide a description of the evaluation methods used to support Section 508 conformance claims. The agency reserves the right, prior to making an award decision, to perform testing on some or all of the

Offeror’s proposed ICT items to validate Section 508 conformance claims made in the ACR.

2 Describe your approach to incorporating universal design principles to ensure ICT products or services are designed to support disabled users.

3 Describe plans for features that do not fully conform to the Section 508 Standards.

4 Describe "typical" user scenarios and tasks, including individuals with disabilities, to ensure fair and accurate accessibility testing of the ICT product or service being offered.

Acceptance Criteria

1 Prior to acceptance, the government reserves the right to perform testing on required ICT items to validate the offeror’s Section 508 conformance claims. If the government determines that Section

508 conformance claims provided by the offeror represent an inaccurate level of conformance than what is actually delivered to the agency, the government shall, at its option, require the offeror to remediate the delivered item to align with the required Section 508 conformance claims prior to acceptance.
