- Description
- The Government intends to procure through FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION the development and procurement of multiple Electro-Optical (EO) Systems based around a Mid-Wave Infra-Red (MWIR) starring array and an Image Intensification (I2) TV. This EO system is intended for navigation, detection, classification, identification, and designation of threats at stand-off ranges, surveillance, and targeting applications; it is not intended to perform pilotage applications. The Governmentis anticipating issuing a solicitation for the development and procurement of three types of EO sensor systems. Either one or two contracts will be awarded: all three EO Sensors on the same contract, or the small assault EO Sensor on one and the large assault and attack EO Sensors on the second. The solicitation will be restricted to domestic sources only under FAR 6.302-3; a facilities security clearance of Secret or higher is required. Anticipated award date is Mar 03.The first system is for approximately 50 light assault EO Sensors. The first flyable prototype would be expected 6 months after contract award, with first production units delivered 15 months after contract award.The second system is for approximately 100 larger, more capable, assault EO Sensors. The first flyable prototype would be expected 12 months after contract award, with first production units delivered 24 months after contract award.The third is for approximately 20 attack EO Sensors. The first flyable prototype would be expected 9 months after contract award, with first production units delivered 21 months after contract award. The attack EO Sensor shall be identical to the large assault EO Sensor with the exception of a targeting laser efinder/designator and laser spot tracker being included in the attack system. All three EO Sensor systems shall include MWIR or dual color (MWIR and LWIR) staring array and I2, with minimum three matching optical fields of view or continuous zoom: 15?x20? to 1.7?x1.6? for the light assault and 15?x20? to .6?x.8? for the attack and assault. All EO Sensor systems shall be MIL-STD-1553 bus and Ethernet compatible, compatible with existing and planned aircraft displays and avionics, built-in test capable, possess high reliability (>600 hours MTBF), and have analog and digital video format. They shall also contain protection against laser countermeasures. They shall have a total system weight of <40 lbs for the light assault and < 150lbs for the attack and assault, and no more than 15.5? high for the light assault, and 16.5? high for the attack and assault. Additionally, the assault and attack EO Sensor systems shall include FLIR and I2 image fusion, and a laser rangefinder/designator. The light assault system shall include image blending for the light assault, 2ea folding flat panel AMLCD?s for display of the sensor image, with the option for a laser pointer.All EO Sensor systems must meet military standard testing requirements as outlined in MIL-STD 461, as modified by ADS-37A, and MIL-STD 810. The solicitation will be available via EDI in the Federal Business Opportunities (FEDBIZOPPS), website: http:www2.eps.gov.
