Profilometer Terrain Measurement System

The Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) is seeking a highly mobile off-road test course and terrain measurement system, consisting of a prime mover and data collection hardware and software. The system will be used to measure inputs into vehicles under test. The contractor will be required to provide a Profilometer system that meets the requirements specified in the solicitation. The system will include a rugged off-road capable vehicle, micro-terrain measurement instrumentation, and an Inertial Navigation System (INS). The contractor will also be required to provide an end-to-end software package for controlling the system, processing, and analyzing data. • The system must be able to measure terrain features that will compress without significant input to the suspension. • The system must be able to distinguish course features that will compress without significant input to the suspension. • The system must be able to produce a scan in post-processing by merging the INS solution with the surface scanning data. • The contractor must provide a detailed description of the system, including the prime mover, data collection hardware and software, and the end-to-end software package. • The contractor must provide a detailed description of the testing and validation procedures for the system.
