Synopsis:

NASA/GRC has a requirement for a hardware in-the-loop (HIL) data acquisition andcontrol system (DACS) for the Mobility Modular Technology Demonstrator. NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from OPAT-RT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1751 RichardsonSuite 2525, Montreal, Quebec, CANADA. This will be a duplicate system adding to onepurchased several years ago and must be identical for compatibility purposes. The DACS must integrate with the Simulink/Real-Time Workshop software suite created byMathworks, Inc. to facilitate rapid control system development.The following four criteria are critical aspects of the system:1) Communication in the real-time processor system shuld be based on a peripheralcomponent interconnect (PCI) bus.2) The real-time operating system should be open source.3) The HIL software (the interface between the compiled Simulink code and the real-timesystem) should facilitate processing sharing between multiple real-time processors.4) The HIL software should include a graphical user interface (GUI) development packageto develop virtual instrument panels. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the SimplifiedAcquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13.The Sole Source is under the authority of FAR reference 13.106-1(b)1.
