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.
