Sensor and Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Modeling

The contract focuses on the development and validation of advanced sensor models, specifically for electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) and radar systems, tailored for hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing environments. This includes modeling environmental effects such as atmospheric conditions, thermal signatures, and clutter, as well as accurately representing target signatures and enabling sensor fusion techniques to simulate realistic operational scenarios. The work is critical for enhancing the fidelity of defense testing systems, ensuring that sensors and countermeasures are validated under conditions that closely mirror real-world engagements. The contract is a subcontract under the Department of Defense, administered by W6QK Acc-Rsa, with performance based at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, in the 35898 zip code. It falls under NAICS code 334510, which pertains to the manufacturing of search, detection, navigation, and control instrumentation. The solicitation was posted on July 8, 2026, and while the specific funding or set-aside details are not provided, the scope indicates a high-priority defense technology effort requiring specialized expertise in sensor physics, signal processing, and embedded simulation environments.
