- Description
Subject to FAR Clause 52.215-3, entitled "Solicitation for Information of Planning Purpose," this announcement constitutes a Sources Sought for information and planning purposes to identify potential sources to acquire a fully operational replacement for the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) correlator in support of the United States Naval Observatory (USNO). This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. It is not to be construed in any way as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response.
BACKGROUND:
USNO is the sole organization in the Department of Defense (DOD) dedicated to rapid processing of VLBI observations to produce earth orientation measurements in a time-frame necessary for Navy and DOD operations. The mission of the USNO is to determine time, both atomic and astronomical, to determine and predict the positions of celestial objects and Earth Orientation and to provide this data to the Department of Defense (DoD). VLBI observations are used by the USNO to determine and predict the variable orientation of the Earth in three-dimensional space as well as to maintain the positions of the extragalactic radio sources which form the basis for the quasi-inertial celestial reference frame, within which the Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) are determined.
The objectives of this procurement are, 1) implement a state-of-the-art software based VLBI capability to take advantage of advances in the electronic transmission of observational VLBI data over the Internet to enable near real-time operations; 2) develop a software based VLBI correlator capability to take advantage of advances in high-performance computing needed to process higher volumes of VLBI data from VGOS and next generation VLBA systems; and 3) as a new requirement, procure and deliver hardware and software needed for this correlator consis... - Documents:
