Time-Space-Position Optical Tracking (T-SPOT)

The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Orlando (ACC-Orlando) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a Time-Space-Position Optical Tracking (T-SPOT) system. The system should provide highly accurate 3D Time-Space-Position Information (TSPI) for System Under Test (SUT) in GNSS-denied environments. The primary objective of a T-SPOT prototype effort would be to develop the system architecture, concept of operations, and comprehensive trade space analysis. • The system should achieve 3D TSPI accuracy comparable to Real-Time Kinematic positioning (RTK) GNSS navigation systems. • The system should operate independently of GNSS, but may use GNSS for landmark surveying. • The system should minimize its Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) budget for integration with crewed aircraft. • The system should support temporary and modular integration with airborne SUTs operating at altitudes typical for the operation of US Air Force cargo and single engine training aircraft.
