Sources Sought - Anubis RFI

The United States Army is approaching the end of the Anubis Technology Maturation Initiative to demonstrate M-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver capability on a commercially-available System on Chip (SoC).[1] The Anubis program has successfully demonstrated the ability to receive and process the GPS M-Code signal and produce a Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solution and output the solution through ICD-GPS-153 messages.

The Army is now interested in working with vendors that have the ability to utilize the Anubis hardware/software M-Code GPS solution for potential insertion into Assured PNT (A-PNT) systems or products that could provide an A-PNT solution to Army and other DoD systems.

It is anticipated that the Anubis chipset would be integrated with other sensors and/or hardware (e.g., wheel speed sensors, barometers, anti-jam antennas, visual odometry, signals of opportunity receivers, chips-scale atomic clock, etc) to provide orthogonal inputs to provide A-PNT to the operator and/or client system.

The Anubis chipset could host software applications and receive sensor inputs to determine the PNT solution on the Anubis SoC or could export M-Code GPS measurements to a second processor to calculate the PNT solution. Interested vendors are requested to submit an email to the POC with a list of potential Anubis hardware/software applications. The subject line of the email should read as: “Anubis RFI Response”.

The email should include a short description (i.e., one or two paragraphs) identifying applications/programs that might utilize the Anubis hardware/software. Note that additional information about the Anubis program will require the execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with the Anubis contract performer. Vendors will also be required to hold a valid SECRET facility security clearance so as to access/utilize the Anubis program information.
