- Description
- The Product Manager Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) is conducting market research to determine night vision drivers enhancement sensor system availability for possible use in Army Tactical Wheeled Vehicles. The Government is looking for a 'sensor system', meaning an imager and display mounted on the vehicle. The drivers display must be located inside the cab and mounted in a flip-down configuration (must be flat panel and not a heads-up-display). The imager can be mounted at any point on the vehicle that allows the driver to see the road ahead. Key performance parameters of interest include: (1) The threshold capability for the drivers viewing system shall allow the driver to see and drive the vehicle at speeds up to 55 MPH during periods of darkness, and during other degraded visibility conditions (smoke, fog, haze, rain, sandstorms, etc) a t 40 MPH. The objective capability will allow the driver to operate the TWV at speeds up to 70 MPH during periods of darkness and in conditions of other degraded visibility conditions (smoke, fog, haze, rain, sandstorms, etc). (2) System shall have a flip-down viewing screen that is easily accessible to the driver. (3) System shall be removable by the vehicle operator and installed into the basic mounting kit of another vehicle within 30 minutes (threshold). Key parameters are: (1) Thermal Sensor: wavelength: 8-12 micrometer, allows driver to follow a lead vehicle generating a dust signature, or any general obscurant to visibility and allows driving during periods of darkness. (2) Display: allows driver to maintain a relaxed driving position while viewing the image, provides unity of magnification, and allows for brightness adjustments during day/night operation Cost as an Independent Variable (CAIV) target is $6,000 for the system. The nonvariable total system cost includes all components to be delivered and installed on light, medium, and heavy Tactical Wheeled Vehicles to include armored variants. The camera e ngine will have power supplied externally. For evaluation purposes, each potential source is requested to provide a brief description of work previously or currently being performed, which specifically demonstrates the contractor's ability to successfully satisfy the requirement description herein.
