The upgraded system must include enhanced imaging with a high-definition color camera, a MWIR sensor of at least 640x480 resolution, and a SWIR capability to operate in haze, smoke, and fog. Additional requirements include a laser range finder, laser illuminator, laser pointer, and a moving target indicator capable of identifying concealed threats. Integration with the aircraft’s navigation system to create waypoints from EO/IR sensor inputs is required, along with new cabin displays for SMA use. The vendor must deliver a full engineering data package to support military flight release and DoD laser safety certification. Respondents must provide detailed technical specifications covering the system’s size, weight, power, and cooling impact, dimensional drawings, field of regard, sensor resolutions, magnification ranges, and laser specifications. Performance must be substantiated through Johnson Criteria modeling to detect groups of eight personnel and light vehicles at 2000 meters, with the ability to discern weapons. Integration requirements include seamless control hand-off between cockpit and cabin operators, compatibility with the MH-139A’s operational flight program through Boeing data access, and standardized video output with symbology tied to aircraft attitude. Cost proposals must include a rough order of magnitude breakdown for non-recurring engineering and per-aircraft modification kits, with an estimated timeline from contract award to initial operational capability. All responses are limited to 15 pages and must be submitted by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on August 24, 2026. Respondents must self-certify their business size under NAICS 334511 with a 1,500-employee threshold, register in SAM.gov, and clearly mark any proprietary information. The government will not reimburse preparation costs, and all submissions will be used solely for acquisition planning without obligation to issue a subsequent solicitation.
