67 -- Flight Follower Camera System

Quantity 1 Each: Flight Follower Camera System with the following specifications: -The flight follower system is to fulfill the requirement during sled track testing to optically track and record images of high-speed (up to Mach II) projectiles in flight. -The system will include an integrated high-speed video camera system and associated control and data reduction software. -The system will be capable of tracking and recording images of projectiles in flight over distances up to 180 ft with sufficient resolution to detect anomalies in the test item. -The system will be required to accurately track test items to ensure the item is contained in the field of view for the duration of the test event. The operator is to be capable of adjusting the system so that longer or shorter path lengths can be captured. -System uses a servo controlled scanning mirror to accurately track projectiles of varying velocities. Required tracking accuracy is better than .5 degrees over entire scan. -Scan ratio = 4-40 m/s/m - Tracking scan angle = 90 degrees (+/-) 45 degrees from center of scan) -Maximum camera frame rate = 16,000 fps -System must be ruggedized to survice sled track operations. -Required scan rate operating modes are measured, fixed, or user defined velocity profiles. Under measured operating mode, break wire and optical velocity measurement systems will be employed. -Drag correction is required to track accelerating or decelerating projectiles. -Standard commercial operations and maintenance manuals are required as applicable. -Delivery is required FOB Eglin AFB FL within six months after award. Final inspection will be at Eglin, AFB FL POC is Brian Robertson and can be reached at contact@example.gov
