401 Tech Bridge is conducting a Tech Scouting effort to procure Acoustic Release Bottom Units for test and evaluation.
Please reach out to 401 Tech Bridge at info@401techbridge.org if you have any questions.
Evaluation of Technical Quality
The evaluation criteria for this CTI is based on the proof-of-concept meeting the requirements specified in the tasking OR by demonstrating a subset of the requirements with a feasible plan to meet all requirements in a future proof-of-concept or prototype.
Task
Identify and procure (3) Acoustic Release Bottom Units for government test and evaluation.
Requirements include
Two units (of the same make/model to interact with the same surface unit):
- 2 year operational time minimum
- Release load of 350 kg
- Maximum ocean depth of 3,500
- Meters or greater
- Alkaline batteries
- User replaceable battery
- Acoustic comms to deck unit to indicate tilted angle, upright condition and release confirmation
One Unit:
- Lightweight/smaller diameter for small boat deployments
- Maximum ocean depth of 3,500 Meters or greater
- Maximum release load of 250 kg
- Lift load at least 750 kg
- The battery life >1 year
- Alkaline batteries
- User replaceable battery
- Acoustic comms to deck unit to indicate tilted angle, upright condition and release confirmation
Deliverables
Identify potential solutions and associated vendors that can address this need. Coordinate calls to review costs, timetable and logistics.
