Description
The U.S. Department of State is seeking information on Less Than Lethal (LTL) Technical Security Systems (TSS) products that can be used for crowd control and deterrence in diplomatic environments. The systems should be commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or modified COTS, and should not use explosive charges to deploy irritants. The systems should also be compatible with worldwide voltages and be electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)-compliant. The Department is looking for systems that can provide a range of deterrent methods, including acoustic, radio frequency (RF) energy, chemical, pressurized water, food-grade irritant, laser, fog, and foam. The systems should be able to be installed in both indoor and outdoor environments and should be architecturally compatible and visually consistent with the design language of diplomatic facilities.
• The systems should be able to be configured and operated from a centralized control point.
• The systems should be able to be installed remotely from the outlying deterrent components.
• The systems should be able to log events such as activation, deactivation, zone enable, and zone disable.
• The systems should be able to provide a user interface that evidences ease-of-use and minimizes the potential for operator error.
• The systems should be able to use a secure communications protocol such as HTTPS, TLS 1.2, and AES encryption.
• The systems should be able to synchronize its system date/time to the date/time provided by the NTP server.
