58--STABILIZED MULTI-SENSOR ELECTRO-OPTIC SYSTEMS

The Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center is seeking sources and information for a Market Survey being conducted for a Stabilized Multi-Sensor Electro-Optic Systems for use on military ground vehicles of various types. The Stabilized Multi-Sensor Electro-Optic System is to provide enhanced visual augmentation. The Stabilized Multi-Sensor Electro-Optic System shall, as a minimum, contain a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) Sensor, Low Light CCD Sensor (Image Intensified (I2) Sensor is desired), Infrared Laser Pointer (LP), Autotracker, and Gyro-Stabilization (digital video stabilization is also desired). The components of the Stabilized Multi-Sensor Electro-Optic System shall all be sealed to prevent water and sand from entering the system. The Stabilized Multi-Sensor Electro-Optics System shall be fully operational during constant exposure to vertical/lateral shock of 20 G's sawtooth for 23 milli-seconds and ambient temperatures from - 40 to +120 degrees F. Respondees, at a minimum, should respond with the following data: system name/nomenclature; system manufacturer; (if different than responding or marketing company), stabilization characteristics in micro-radians and number of true axis of stabilization; field of regard in degrees; gimbal mounting position(s); gimbal azimuth and elevation limits in degrees (no limits is desired); FLIR bandwidth, detector type with number of elements and detector material, Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV), Field of View (FOV) in degrees, Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD), Horizontal and Vertical Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference (MRTD), cooler type and cool-down times; Low light CCD camera spectral response, FOV in degrees, resolution and lux level, noise factor (SNR), and gain; L P class, wavelength, divergence, energy (>200 milli-watts is required), beam size, and min/max range; gimbal/turret size and weight (< 40 lbs is required); total system weight (< 80 lbs is required); total number of components; system voltage (24 VDC is required) and current draw at 20 G shock loading; Autotracker type, number of modes, and manufacturer; video output standard (NTSC is required); video monitor sizes, weights, and types available (night vision compatible LCD flat panel monitors is required); system and component Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF); system Built-In-Test (BIT) and Fault-Isolation Test (FIT) capability; system shock limits for storage (60 Gs for 23 milli-seconds is desired) and operational usage (40 Gs sawtooth for 23 milli-seconds is desired); system vibration limits for storage and operational usage; ambient temperature limits for storage and operati onal usage; blowing sand and dust limits for storage and operational usage; Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Emissions, Susceptibility, and Compatibility (MIL-STD-461 qualified ground vehicles is desired); system noise levels in decibels; system availability in months ARO (< 3 months is required) and production capacity per month; system sales history to DOD and non-DOD customers (include previous DOD contract numbers); system ROM costs in quantities from 1 to 100; and system repair and turn around history and capability.
