Description of Requirements
Over the past decade, the region has invested personnel and equipment to develop and build the capacity to collect remote sensing data using fleet aircraft and commercial off the shelf sensors and GPS. Common products include multispectral orthomosaics, digital elevation modes, and point clouds. The system has been used to provide data for fire management, fish and population surveys, landcover classification, oil and gas, facilities, law enforcement, and visitor services. The system has been very cost effective, though projects have been limited do to the availability of system operator and the limited number of aircraft configured for the system.
The purpose of this procurement is to obtain a sensor system compatible with the majority of fleet aircraft and reduce the complexity and need for a single specialized operator. Nearly all refuges in Alaska have a Topcub CC18 aircraft. These aircraft can be equipped with a Tac Rack (STC SA02548SE) on the underside of the aircraft, to which the sensor payload can be attached and powered.
Scope
The sensor payload shall be mounted and powered by the Tac Rack (STC SA02548SE) and weigh no more than 65 pounds. The contractor shall provide flight planning software and pilot navigation as detailed in the requirements. The contractor shall provide the sensor payload as describe in the technical requirements. The contractor shall provide the ground processing workstation with image processing software and automated software workflows to produce orthomosaics, digital elevation models, and point clouds.
