The Naval Information Warfare Systems
Command (NAVWAR), in support of the
Program Executive Office, Command,
Control, Communications, Computers and
Intelligence (PEO C4I) Battlespace
Awareness and Information Operations
(PMW 120) program office, is conducting a
market survey to determine the interest and
capability of Industry to maintain, sustain,
and modernize an Integrated Survey
System (ISS-60) software suite. Interested
parties will be required to upgrade the
software in accordance with system
requirement specifications.
This RFI (see Attached) is intended to
accomplish two
objectives: 1) to gain an understanding of
what interested parties exist in the current
marketplace and 2) to gain an
understanding of how those interested
parties could meet the technical objectives
and performance requirements for the ISS-
60 project. PMW 120 is interested in
responses that can employ a modular
approach to meeting the requirements of
the ISS-60 technical documents.
The ISS-60 is based on a Commercial off
the Shelf (COTS) software product that has
been modified to meet the Governments
requirements. It is currently in service
aboard all six T-AGS 60 class ships and
embarked Hydrographic Survey Launches
(HSLs). These oceanographic survey vessels
enable the Department of Defense (DoD),
the United States Navy and the Naval
Oceanographic Office to effectively perform
military survey operations that satisfy global
oceanographic, hydrographic and
bathymetric (OHB) survey requirements
approved by Naval component
commanders, USFF and Joint Functional
Component Command for Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JFCC ISR)
ISO Military Survey Operations (SURVOPS).
The T-AGS 60 class oceanographic survey
ships are outfitted to provide multi-purpose
survey capabilities in coastal and deep
ocean areas. Data collected include
physical, chemical, and biological
oceanographic as well as OHB parameters.
The ships mission includes multi-discipline
environmental investigations, ocean
engineering tasks, marine acoustic surveys,
marine geology and geophysics data
collection and bathymetric, gravimetric, and
magnetometric surveying.
