Contract W5J9CQ-16-R-0008

Statement of Objectives For

Geospatial, Research, Integration, Development and Support (GRIDS III) Sample Task Order

Integrated 3D Wide Area Mapping Sensor System

1. Purpose.

The purpose of this sample cost plus fixed fee task order is to develop and deploy a new sensor with the ability to collect Nadir and off-Nadir images to allow for 3D image capability. The 3D capability is not for use in single target source images, but rather for large area capture to allow for a more robust 3D view of areas of interest. Particular attention should be focused on off-Nadir LIDAR and EO collections to support High Resolution 3D imagery in support of Mission Planning Rehearsal and situational awareness in conjunction with Non-Combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO). Overall Period of Performance for this task order will be twenty-four (24) months.

2. Scope.

The Contractor shall provide highly specialized expertise and technical services to execute the objectives of this SOO that directly correlates to the overarching objectives and goals of the AGC’s overall mission. The Contractor shall provide all personnel and supervision necessary to perform the services defined in the SOO. All tasks must be performed to the standards set forth in this document.

3. Period and Place of Performance

3.1 The basic contract period of performance is twenty-four (24) months with one base year of twelve (12) months and a twelve (12) month option.

3.2 The contractor shall provide on and off-site services in support of AGC’s tasks. Design, development, engineering and testing are expected to take place at CONUS locations.

4. Background. With past NEO missions showing a lack of planning information and with past analyses showing a need for better situational awareness, the AGC is seeking to increase situational awareness by incorporating 3D high resolution imagery into the pre-deployment phase of NEO. This effort seeks to develop an innovative 3D sensor capability to provide never before seen data imagery of a dense urban environment. This sensor(s) would allow for the collection and rapid production of 3D models of city wide areas to include ingress and egress for military forces.

The warfighter’s requirement for high-resolution terrain data has grown exponentially as has the requirement for accurate, timely high-resolution 3D elevation and imagery data to support current and future operations. High-resolution 3D geospatial information provides the foundation data necessary to produce geospatial products that provide the force multiplier necessary for successful operations. The goal of this project is to explore using high-resolution imagery capable of creating 3D models for mission critical situational awareness and battlefield intelligence in support of NEO mission planning and rehearsal.

5. Performance Objectives

AGC requires a contractor with the capability to manage a highly technical development and system integration effort.

This effort seeks to develop and test an innovative 3D LIDAR and EO sensing technology to collect and produce data capable of 3D model generation for mission rehearsals in relation to NEOs. The newly developed sensor will be able to quickly cover a large region using aerial manned and/or unmanned platforms to deliver large quantities of high resolution data which can then be delivered as 3D models to support required situational awareness and mission planning of NEO missions. This effort will focus on enhancing the government’s knowledge and understanding of LIDAR/EO combined imagery and its use in 3D high resolution model generation with the ability to collect high resolution data from an aerial platform. The contractor must also be capable of providing a team of highly qualified personnel that will be able to meet the following GRIDS III requirements:

5.1 Conduct Geospatial and Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Systems research, development, engineering, analysis and operations, including identifying and addressing gaps in geospatial science & technologies.

5.1.1 The Contractor shall conduct GEOINT Systems research, development, engineering, analysis and operations, including identifying and addressing gaps. The contractor shall provide a sensor that will deliver to the government an improved NADIR and OFF NADIR, rapid, collection system to allow for dense urban environment 3D rendering and/or foliage penetration. The contractor is encouraged to utilize state of the art technology and provide new and innovative ideas to create a sensor that can provide data to satisfy the end state of providing 3D model generation of dense urban environments to a level of detail needed for mission rehearsals. Final products will include detailed 3D rendering of urban environments that may reduce in level of detail from center of city outward to the edges of the urban environment. Final products to be created from the data generated will include primary, secondary, and tertiary routes; landing zones, Line of Sight, and 3D details within the total city confines.

5.1.2 The contractor shall design a flight payload to allow for (T) manned or (O) unmanned operations.

5.1.3 High Altitude collection is desired (i.e. at the least, greater altitude than most Surface to Air threats). Resolution of final imagery must be at a minimum (O) .2 – (T) .5 meter posting LIDAR and (T) 5cm – (O) 2 cm for EO NADIR.

Final geo-registered, orthorectified color imagery should be at a minimum (O) 2-10 (T) cm resolution with (T) 1 meter

- .5 (O) resolution elevation data. Off NADIR resolution should be at a minimum (T) 20-10 (O) cm after final processing (orthorectified/geo-registered).

5.2 Integrate, execute and transition Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) concepts, processes and architectures. The Contractor shall integrate, execute and transition C5ISR concepts, processes and architectures. Developed sensor shall be integrated into standard technologies while allowing for state-of-the-art execution and transition into programs of record.

Other sensors that may improve capabilities are encouraged (i.e. IR, SAR/INSAR). Innovative collection parameters and ways to improve imagery detail in the final product are sought. Tools to combine processing techniques to take advantage of FMV with standard mapping collections will be considered.

5.7 Develop, integrate and operate ground segments/stations for the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) payload types (e.g., Electro-optical Infrared (EO/IR), Hyperspectral Infrared Sounder (HIS), Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), communications, etc.).

5.8 The contractor shall examine and evaluate technologies and tools from Government, Academia, and Industry including, but not limited to, C5ISR tools in relation to this task order.
