Description
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) intends to award a sole source contract to Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, Inc. for the procurement of four (4) VS-209 Mid-Frequency 4ch Vector Sensors. The sensors are required to have a pressure channel and x, y, and z accelerometer (velocity) channels, and must be rated to at least 1000 meters ocean depth. The sensors will be used for integration onto an undersea glider platform to expand detection and decision-making capabilities.
• The sensors must have a 4-channel acoustic vector sensor (containing a pressure channel and x, y, and z accelerometer (velocity) channels).
• The sensors must be rated to at least 1000 meters ocean depth (>1500 psi).
• The sensors must be small enough to form factor for convenient integration on human-portable autonomous vehicles (roughly fist-sized).
• The sensors must provide a useful velocity channel response up to at least 7 kHz.
• The sensors must natively interface with a navy-owned data acquisition system developed between NPS and NUWC KPT.
