The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) at Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Vicksburg, MS, Environmental Laboratory has a requirement for one (1) Lightweight Gimbel-Based Airborne Digital Multi-Sensor Data Acquisition System (DAS). This DAS is needed for airborne digital data acquisition in various landscape/environments. A turret-based/gimbal sensor housing is desired that will allow mounting onto (outside) a small fixed-wing aircraft and also a helicopter. The sensor package needed will include visible, and thermal infrared sensors and a laser illuminator pointer. Different sensor fields-of -view (FOVs) are required and sensor operation controls will be through a portable laptop-type computer/unit. Imagery collected by the system will include global positioning data (GPS) and will be tagged onto the images. Data will be recorded with a syst em digital recorder and a data down-link capability needs to be an option. An on-board display is required for quick look display/analysis. System training including operation, tracking strategy, maintenance and trouble shooting is needed within 30 days of delivery of the DAS. Detailed specifications of the DAS are as follows: Multi-Sensor System a) Turret/Gimbel Dimensions: less than 12-inches in diameter and 15-inches height; b) Turret Weight: less than 35 lbs; c) Sensor Field of Regard: 360 degree a zimuth, 90 to 180 deg elevation; d) System Power: 18-24 VDC; e) Stabilization: fiber-optic gyro-stabilization; f) Sensor Types: infrared, visible; g) Data Recorder: real-time digital data recording on the aircraft; h) Calibration: infrared sensor temperatu re to be calibrated prior to start of airborne mission (use of black bodies) and system must maintain brightness and contrast setting during operation; i) Software: post processing, display and quick look analysis; j) Video Capture: captures digital frames (hardware/software); k) System Operating Time: 3 hours continuous; l) Illuminator/Pointer: laser; m) Processor: high resolution digital infrared video processor. Thermal Infrared Sensor a) Detector: uncooled microbolimeter, focal plane array, 320x240 p ixels (min); b) Spectral Range: 3-5 microns (min), other bands are optional; c) Temperature Measurement Range: -20 deg C to 300 deg C; d) Field-of-Views: interchangeable, 1-2 deg to 4-5 deg to 20-25 deg; e) Image Resolution: 12-16 bits; f) Image Format: JP EG, TIFF; g) Spatial Resolution: 1.3 mrad; h) Lenses: interchangeable (25mm-100mm); i) Image Rate: 60Hz; j) Data Processing: data collected/stored on recorders will be post processed. Visual Sensor a) Detector: CCD (charge couple device) sensor; b) Wave band/Spectral Response: 420-1000 nm; c) Resolution: 450-500 TV lines (PAL) (NTSC); d) Telescope: 18 power, digital zoom (computer controlled); e) Sensitivity: 0.2 lux to 0.7 lux; f) Fields-of-View: narrow (1-2 deg) to wide angle (45-50 deg); g) Pixel Array Size: 750 (H) by 500 (V) pixels (NTSC). Laser Illuminator a) Type Laser: class III b CW diode; b) Band Width: 800-850 micron; c) Beam Divergence: 0.2 mrad; d) Output Power: approximately 30 milliwatts (MW).
