Deepwater Industry Team Issues Broad Industry Announcement Calling Innovative Suppliers to Register for Innovation & Industry D

PR Newswire (US)
ROSSLYN, Va., March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integrated Coast
Guard Systems, LLC (ICGS) today has issued a Broad Industry
Announcement seeking innovations in Radio Direction Finding (RDF)
sensors to support the Integrated Deepwater System program.
Suppliers with marinized RDF technologies and product capabilities
are needed to support development of the U.S. Coast Guard's
Deepwater surface assets. ICGS is issuing this Broad Industry
Announcement to all potential Radio Direction Finding sensor
suppliers, including those suppliers which have been previously
interviewed at Deepwater Innovation & Industry Days. Small
businesses of all classes are urged to participate. "Deepwater is a
national program with suppliers from more than forty states and
several overseas countries," said Dr. Leo Mackay, ICGS president.
"We are always in search of new vendors who will bring innovation
and broad expertise to this vital program and to the Coast Guard."
ICGS is seeking information from industry to develop a marinized
RDF solution which will be integrated into Deepwater surface
assets. The RDF must be capable of acquiring signals in the HF/VHF
Bands and portions of the upper MF/lower UHF Bands. The RDF system
shall be able to resolve the transmitting source's bearing without
significant error. The performance of the RDF should neither be
greatly affected by the multi-path environment created by a ship's
topside design nor the environment created by the other sensors in
the area. It is necessary that the system is provided in a compact
form factor so that it can be incorporated into multiple assets'
topside configurations. Through its open business model ICGS has
and will continuously review new products, services and
capabilities with the goal of providing the Coast Guard
best-of-market solutions that bring innovative capabilities to the
fleet at a best value cost to the taxpayer. Through its major
subcontractors, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, ICGS engages
suppliers that offer products and services to accomplish that goal.
Response to this announcement and registration on the ICGS website
(link below) will be used to identify potential suppliers for an
invitation to an Innovation & Industry Day conference hosted by
ICGS, now planned for March 30, 2006. The deadline to register for
RDF Innovation & Industry Day 2006 will be 5:00 p.m. EST on
March 15, 2006. More detailed information and a supplier
registration form are available online at:
