ERDC-CRREL intends to procure a Riegl VMX-2HA Mobile Laser Scanning System and accessories, which are used to support algorithm development related to 3D laser streams and near-real time feature extraction. The mobile laser scanning system and accessories must have the following minimum specifications:

1) Minimum of two (2) laser scanning heads with a 360- degree scanning capability , able to be operated simultaneously without interference;

2) Scan range of at least 420-meter with an achieved accuracy 5mm for both scan head;

3) Integrated electro-optical visible spectrum camera system capable of collecting coincident imagery to be attributed to individual point measurements;

4) Minimum of IP64 protection rating, allowing for operation in precipitation;

5) 2-MHz or better maximum effective measurement rate (500 scan lines/sec);

6) Support onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU) results with roll/pitch accuracies of 0.005-deg and heading accuracy of at least 0.015-deg;

7) Include acquisition interface hardware for power distribution to the sensor, data management and storage, and real-time diagnostics of data results;

8) Real-time display of resulting point cloud profiles and 2-dimensional data overlay, providing updating coverage maps to the operator for planning and collection execution guidance;

9) Capable of being powered by on-vehicle power supply (12VDC);

10) Incorporates back-up power supply for additional layer of security during operations;

11) Software for the post-processing of the trajectory, laser, and imagery data;

12) Class 1 laser characteristics for safety; and

13) Online waveform processing for real-time waveform data output

Riegl USA, Inc was identified as the only vendor capable of offering a product meeting the requisite specifications and interoperability requirements with CRREL's existing Riegl hardware and uniquely designed software; full interoperability is required to all the system to take accurate measurements and function seamlessly while deployed in the field alongside other Riegl equipment.

The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516, which has a size standard of 500 employees.
