1.0 Summary
Commander Naval Magazine Indian Island (NMII) is seeking demonstrations from qualified vendors of advanced technologies capable of detecting, identifying, and tracking a variety of threats across air, land, and maritime domains. This notification solicits demonstrations to assess system performance in a realistic operational environment and evaluate suitability for integration with existing personnel and infrastructure.
2.0 Scope
This opportunity seeks demonstrations of systems that can:
- Detect: Identify and locate uncrewed systems (UxS), land (human walkers), and sea-going (small boats/kayaks) contacts.
- Discriminate: Reliably differentiate between man-made objects and natural occurrences (e.g., birds) with a high degree of confidence.
- Operate: Be effectively operated and managed by currently billeted personnel at NMII. Ease of use and integration with existing systems are critical.
- Adapt: Demonstrate the ability to mitigate performance limitations caused by terrain features (shadow zones) through alternative system configurations or complementary technologies.
3.0 Demonstration Details
- Location: Port Hadlock-Irondale, Washington
- Date: To Be Announced
- Environment: The demonstration will be conducted in a realistic operational environment, including varied terrain and potential RF interference. The primary system installation location will be on an existing cell tower at the highest point on the island.
- Government Furnished Equipment/Services: Access to the cell tower (via Crown Castle approval), and a secure operating location.
- Vendor Furnished Equipment/Services: All system hardware, software, personnel (including installation technicians), and support equipment necessary to conduct the demonstration. Vendors are responsible for all costs associated with the demonstration.
- Testing Scenarios: The Government will provide a series of test scenarios involving the aforementioned target types. Specific scenarios will be communicated to selected vendors prior to the demonstration.
4.0 Installation Requirements
Vendors are responsible for providing a detailed plan and covering costs for the temporary installation of their equipment, including:
- Qualified personnel with the necessary certifications and experience to work at height and on communication towers.
- All specialized tools and equipment required for a safe and compliant installation.
- Compliance with all applicable safety regulations and industry best practices.
5.0 Submission Requirements
