The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) requires the replacement of its outdated Transient Data System (TDS) used for evaluating high-speed vehicle tests. The TDS is essential for capturing critical data that informs test performance and future parameters. To fulfill this need, the contractor must deliver five turnkey data systems, including specific hardware and software components such as rack-mounted oscilloscopes and signal conditioners. Performance requirements include detailed project milestones, high reliability (98.5% operational success), environmental resilience (operating between 0 to 100°F), and compliance with safety and security classifications as the project is UNCLASSIFIED. The contractor is also responsible for providing necessary technical documentation, service manuals, and calibration guidelines. Overall, this project supports AEDC's mission to enhance testing facilities and capabilities for high-speed vehicles while ensuring operational effectiveness and compliance with government standards.
