Ilarts Camera Assembly

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division is looking to procure 8 each of an ILARTS Camera Assembly in accordance with Drawing #627740-1. Quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is 100% Set Aside for Small Business. Delivery is required ninety(90) days or less after Receipt of Award. The Government is requesting Destination pricing for this requirement. Television cameras utilized by aircraft carrier Landing Signal Officers (LSO) need to provide good imagery, day and night, under conditions where the aircraft is illuminated by ambient light but the aircraft's bright landing lights are on, resulting in intra-scene dynamic range of -10E6. These TV cameras provide the LSO with glide-slope and lineup information, and also view deck operations, approaches, and launches. This application, vital to aircraft carrier operations, needs a television image sensor and camera system to replace the Image Isocon based cameras which are no longer manufactured. The television image sensor affording the necessary dynamic range is the Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Their high quantum efficiency and low readout noise make CCDs competitive at low illumination levels with intensified image sensors and provide superior performance at moderate and high light levels. The conclusion of this Phase I study is that a camera based on back illuminated CCD technology can match and in some cases exceed the benchmark Image Isocon camera performance in the demanding ILARTS application. Specifications are on Drawing 627740-1. The drawings involved are Export Controlled.
