Av-8 Foreign Object Debris (Fod) Detection Tender in USA - 14798291

Introduction
the naval air systems command (navair) is seeking industry input for the most efficient and economical approach including commercial off the shelf solutions to reduce fod (foreign object debris) damage using an all-weather automatic radar fod detection system to monitor runways, vtol (vertical take-off and landing) pads and other critical aircraft operating surfaces. The objective of this effort is to reduce fod rates and improve combat capability. The fod detection system will be used at marine corps air stations (mcas) yuma, az with an option in the future to include mcas cherry point, nc.
When installed at the airfield, the system shall be able to automatically detect and locate debris on runway and taxiway surfaces. The system shall be capable of monitoring for and reporting debris position locations using networked, high resolution, low power radar that does not interfere with airport communications, aircraft navigation, or surveillance systems. The system shall be capable of detecting cylindrical objects with a diameter of approximately 2" and a height of 1.5", or smaller and shall be optimized to detect common airfield hazards such as safety wire, nuts, bolts, rocks, and concrete debris. Your capability statement shall include an installation schedule that demonstrates your ability to rapidly deploy a fully functioning unit at mcas yuma, az by the end of fiscal year (fy) 2018 for testing purposes.
The system shall be capable of providing both location and imaging of all debris to enable confirmation of correct and complete detection during location and removal. The system shall be capable of continuous monitoring of the desired areas and provide detection alerts to station personnel. The system shall be equipped with user adjustable filtering software capable of optimizing sensitivity for varying debris types and sizes.
The system shall be capable of full functionality in all weather conditions, including wi...
