- Description
- Short Wavelength Infrared Enhanced Technology Insertion (SETI) The Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles and Materials and Manufacturing Directorates are soliciting information and follow-up discussions to support research and development of large format short wavelength infrared (SWIR) focal plane arrays (FPAs). The intention is to explore the technology, material, and process gaps that need to be bridged to create a staring IR sensor for space. Notionally, this sensor would enable the field of view necessary to cover an MRC or larger area in a dedicated starer mode. To accomplish this requires development of larger IR Focal Plane Arrays with a large dynamic range capable of framing at near video rates. A classified document has been created that outlines the performance goal of a desired FPA. AFRL would like industry response to this document in terms of the areas of highest risk or research need, overall technology readiness and confidence that this FPA could be brought to fruition. AFRL is considering funding research in this specific technology area and is attempting to gauge industry interest and capability. Responses should be sent to: Air Force Research Laboratory/VSSS, Attn: SETI Project, 3550 Aberdeen Ave SE, Kirtland AFB, NM 87117-5776. Written and e-mailed responses are acceptable. Only unclassified responses can be sent via e-mail. The e-mail address for this topic is SETI@kirtland.af.mil. Contact Franklin Roush at (505) 853-3246 for methods to transmit classified response. Qualified participants are invited to request the classified goal document from the above address/email. An approved classified storage facility and proof of personnel clearances are essential to obtain the goal document. The response can be in the form of white papers, presentations, or proposals. This industry survey does not obligate the government in any manner for any future acquisitions. This is not a notice of intent to contract. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request for information or otherwise pay for information solicited. Participants are invited to submit their interests and capability in writing. Only detailed written responses, received within fourteen (14) days after the publication of this announcement will be reviewed. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether or not to pursue future research efforts based on responses to this notice
