AMENDMENT 0003: The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to industry questions as follows: Q1: What are the intended min/max Detection and ID ranges for the Grp 1 and 2 threats? A1: For short ranges 2km to 4km and long ranges 5km to >8km for both Group 1 and 2. We can roughly determine each system min and max ranges. Q2: Is the system intended to be operated static/fixed-site, on-the-move, or both? A2: Fixed-site system only for this demonstration. Q3: Is the system intended to be locally or remotely operated/monitored? A3: The systems can be locally operated/monitored but remotely operated can be demonstrated with coordination with the vendor. Q4: Is the system required to perform in both day, night, and limited visibility conditions? A4: The demonstration will include a night session, but most of the demonstraitons will occur during day time hours. Q5: Will the government provide access to and interface data for the desired TAK UI? A5: Yes, the Government will coordinate data interface with vendors prior to the demonstration. Q6: Is the system intended to have any provision to interface with any kind of CUAS response/mitigation system? A6: No mitigation. Just camera slew to target for identification. AMENDMENT 0002: The purpose of this amendment is to change the place of performance from Eagle Pass, TX to Mineral Wells, TX and to extend the response deadline. AMENDMENT 0001: The purpose of this amendment is to change the place of performance from San Diego, CA to Eagle Pass, TX. BASE NOTICE: The C-UAS CORE is an international cooperative effort between the United States and United Kingdom to conduct C-UAS technology tests and demonstrations in multiple operational environments. In support, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) is seeking information on commercially available integrated systems with C-UAS sensor and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera and a slew to cue capability; specifically, radar that detects UAS (Group 1 and 2) and prompts an EO/IR camera for verification, identification, classification, and tracking. Commercial vendors that have this capability would be invited to participate in a demonstration in Spring 2024 led by DHS and involve multiple federal agencies and international partners. The demonstration location will be at a test site in Eagle Pass, TX, details will provide to the selected vendors. Other aspects that will be assessed during the demonstration include the C-UAS command and control (C2) system and level of integration between sensors. Systems of interest for this RFI include: Technology must be fieldable for demonstration event; minimum TRL 7 Radar detection of UAS detection with operator alerting IP 67: ingress protection against maritime environment Automated EO/IR sensor slew-to-cue on UAS target integrated with radar detection Establish and maintain target track with radar and EO/IR sensor Re-acquire lost track Hi-resolution EO/IR imaging to facilitate UAS identification and threat classification Hi-resolution EO/IR imaging to facilitate payload identification and attributes Automated or operator controlled EO/IR variable zoom for UAS identification and classification EO/IR image stabilization for image quality, and to reduce or eliminate image jitter Real-time sensor image display to support operator command and control Closed loop tracking using Cursor on Target (CoT) sensor data output; prefer TAK compatibility Operates in clutter-rich environments: Urban, rugged terrain, maritime, etc.
