National Research Council Canada Institute for Aerospace Research has a requirement for the supply of one (1) miniature data acquisition system for delivery to Ottawa, Ontario. The delivery must be no later than 31st March 2013.

The required miniature data acquisition system that must provided the required capability while satisfying physical environmental and operational criterion for the intended airborne application. The new system must have a solid state recorder capable to acquiring 18 accelerometers, 6 microphones and video data. The new system must be light weight (less than 1.2 kg), small footprint (approx. 64mm x 67mm x 180mm) and able to withstand demanding environment temperature from -35°C to +85°C. The new system must have a acceleration tolerance of 10g in any axis. The new system must withstand humidity of 5-95% RH, altitudes from 0 to 50,000 ft. The new system must passed the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) as per MIL-STD-461 and be compatible with the Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) standard. The new system must include IEEE-1588 time synchronization, command response architecture with built-in test features and internal power and temperature monitoring. The new system accuracy must be better than 0.5% over entire operating temperature range including all gain levels up to 1024. The new system must be designed to accept data from multiple sensor input modules and the solid state recorder must record data using two CompactFlash cards up to 64 GB each in open-source IRIG-106 chapter 10 format.

The only known supplier of an miniature data acquisition system meeting all required technical specifications is the MCDAU-2000 system from Teletronics Technology Corporation (TTC) For this reason, it is proposed to negotiate this requirement with the manufacturer TTC, Newton, PA, USA.
