CONTRACT NO.N00178-04-D-4096DELIVERY ORDER NO.FD01AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION NO.24PAGE21 of 55FINALthe data collection functions, and shall be documented with technical reports.TASK AREA 6 Algorithms and Numerical ModelingThe Contractor shall be responsible for analyzing, developing, updating, implementing, andmaintaining numerical algorithms for acoustic and non-acoustic prediction systems, processors,and trainers. This task area also includes analysis and assessment of AN/BQQ-10 A-RCI APBalgorithms. Analysis and implementation shall include a recommendation for the best algorithmsfor specific uses. Algorithms, databases and models shall be implemented for specific scenariosthat can apply to either prediction systems, processors, sonar systems, or trainers. Analysis alsoincludes model/data comparisons, and identification and classification of model and/or datadeficiencies. Development may include, but is not limited to, passive and active localization,tracking, classification, signal processing, propagation loss, sound pressure level and targetstrength computation, transmission path loss, probability of detection, signal synthesis, andbeamforming. Algorithms and models will also require software maintenance and upgrades fortransportability between platforms, for tactical and training displays, for access to newdatabases, and for modeling new sensor characteristics.TASK AREA 7 Future Data Acquisition and Measurement System Design, Analysis, andSystems DevelopmentThe contractor shall perform detailed design analyses of future data acquisition and/ormeasurement systems, methods, and geometries required for new generation submarines such asVIRGINIA Class block upgrades, next generation SSBN, and other Team Sub assets, as well asDDG-1000 and other surface ships. Analysis and prediction of measurement systemperformance for VIRGINIA R&D measurements and VIRGINIA trials will be required. Thissupport shall include design and development support of future systems at the AcousticResearch Detachment (ARD) in Bayview, ID, the South Florida Test Facility (SFTF) in FortLauderdale, FL, SEAFAC, and STAFAC. Other areas of study will determine alternativemethods for routine signature monitoring using onboard systems and methods for further refiningtarget strength measurement, source characterization, and non-acoustic signatures. The contractor
CONTRACT NO.N00178-04-D-4096DELIVERY ORDER NO.FD01AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION NO.24PAGE22 of 55FINALshall also perform detailed analyses of planned new data acquisition systems to assess theimpact of such on the requirements for processing and analyzing the resulting data at NSWCCDsignature processing facilities. The introduction of new signature acquisition systems employingadvanced technologies and new sonar sensor arrays, hydrophone arrays, and telemetry systems,as well as new measurement approaches and new processing/analysis techniques, shall also bestudied. The contractor shall use the results of these studies to provide recommendations forupgrading and/or modernizing current facilities and equipment. The results of each study effortshall be documented in a final report. Based on design analyses and studies, the contractor shallbe required to develop new radiated noise measurement systems; advanced signal processingsystems; Information Technology (IT) systems; and mass data storage, retrieval and analysissystems; structureborne noise and sonar self-noise measurement, acquisition, and processingsystems in support of Signature Directorate Programs.TASK AREA 8 ACINT Analysis, Assessment, Quality Assurance, Signal Processing Supportand StudiesThe contractor shall assist the ACINT program in Science and Technology (S&T) analysis byreviewing ACINT reports, publications, and other products for accuracy and consistency andassist in the development and implementation of new products and production procedures. Thecontractor shall review individual acoustic intelligence reports for possible trends and newdevelopments and produce intelligence assessments and studies of the results of these analyses.The contractor shall assist the ACINT program in Sound Pressure Level (SPL) analysis andconduct in-depth studies using specialized SPL processing and analysis equipment, report resultsand identify hardware, software, or architecture changes that would improve efficiency andthroughput. The contractor shall reconstruct the target track relative to the sensor in order tocalculate sensor-to-target range and aspect as a function of time, and compute sensor-to-targetpropagation loss using an appropriate propagation loss model. The contractor shall assist theACINT program in the area of signal processing by participating in the design, development andrapid prototyping of specialized acoustic analysis signal processing tools and related
