Description

The US Air Force Air Mobility Battlelab is exploring commercial/government off-the-shelf (COTS/GOTS) technologies related to an IR/TV/Low light TV camera system capable of being mounted to the exterior of an aircraft. The system must be easy to install and remove, allowing it to be used on multiple aircraft. Camera system should have the capability to display heat signatures in the infrared and visible frequency spectrum from altitudes up to 15,000 feet and must be able to display system output on a laptop computer. The system should be able to operate in extreme all-weather environments at flight level altitudes and withstand airspeeds up to 400 KIAS. The system should offer a wide angle of view without taking slew angle into consideration and must be capable of operating on aircraft power of 400 Hz, 115 VAC 3-phase, 60 kW, or 28VDC. Through this BAA, the Air Force is requesting information concerning mature technologies, which meet the requirements previously stated, to be used in a Battlelab concept demonstration. The primary selection criteria for all submissions will be the most practical system available to support the requirements. All offerors are strongly encouraged to submit information supporting this request. Currently, there is only limited Battlelab funding identified for this program, however, if research indicates that the technology is available and transferable to the USAF, funding may be sought for prototype demonstration and recommended to Headquarters, Air Mobility Command. NOTICE TO FOREIGN OFFERORS: Foreign or foreign-owned offerors are advised that their participation is subject to foreign disclosure review procedures and restrictions that could preclude their participation in this announcement. SUBMISSIONS: Product Information may be submitted until COB EST 02 April 2004. White papers should not exceed five pages plus cover letter.
