Opportunity Information:
Title: Miniature Common Data Link (Mini-CDL)
Solicitation #: BAA-06-3-PKS
Post Date: 8/18/2006
Response Date: 10/3/2006
Document Type: Presolicitation Notice
NAICS Code: 541710 -- Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences
Description:

Air Force Research Laboratory,Sensors Directorate (AFRL/PKSE)solicits research proposals to support research and development effort shall design and implement an airborne Common Data Link (CDL) terminal for use in Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS). Due to the payload restrictions of these systems, using present CDL equipment is prohibitive, and has contributed to the proliferation of platform specific data link systems. This effort shall examine the size, weight, and power requirements for SUAS platforms, and develop a CDL terminal capable of providing these platforms with CDL capability, with the intent of reducing the need for further unique systems. In addition, the Mini-CDL terminal shall be capable of communicating with existing ground systems which employ CDL terminals. These objectives shall be accomplished by, first, developing a preliminary design, including an evaluation of trade space, identification of high risk areas, and a plan for mitigating these risks in the design. Upon successful completion of a preliminary design, the system shall be implemented and demonstrated in a laboratory environment with hardware in-the-loop systems. Finally, the terminal shall be flight tested to determine its ability to provide SUAS with the required CDL communications.
