Description

The Product Manager  Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) is conducting market research to determine night vision drivers enhancement sensor system technologies availability for possible use in Army Tactical Wheeled Vehicles. The Government is looking f or a 'sensor system', meaning an imaging sensor and display. The imaging sensor can be mounted at any point on the vehicle that allows the driver to see the road ahead. The drivers display must be located inside the cab. Key performance parameters of inte rest include: (1) The desired 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, sandsto rms, etc) at 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 b e removable by the vehicle operator and installed into the basic mounting kit of another vehicle within 30 minutes (threshold). Key parameters are: (A) Sensor/Camera: Can be any type (i.e. Infrared (IR), Image Intensification (I2), Gated I2, active and pas sive SWIR, etc) (B) Display: allows driver to maintain a relaxed driving position while viewing the image and allows for brightness adjustments during day/night operation. (C) The drivers viewer system may use vehicle power. Cost as an Independent Variabl e (CAIV) target is $6,000 for the complete system unit cost. The nonvariable total system cost includes all components to be delivered and installed on medium, and heavy Tactical Wheeled Vehicles to include armored variants in accordance with the following known requirements by vehicle type: FY06: HEMMT:441 M915:100 M916:100 FMTV:3531; FY07: HEMMT:382 FMTV:5024; FY08: HEMMT:533 M915:96 M916:96 FMTV:3007; FY09: HEMMT:535 M915:94 M916:94 FMTV:3494; FY10: HEMMT:537 M915:92 M916:92 FMTV:3113; FY11: HEMMT:574 M915:92 M916:92 FMTV:2579; FY12: HEMMT:676 HET:100 M915:476 M916:90 M917:59 FMTV:712 PLS:309; FY13: HEMMT:675 HET:100 M915:476 M916:133 M917:59 FMTV:1361 PLS:309; FY14: HEMMT:675 HET:100 M915:476 M916:133 M917:59 FMTV:1362 PLS:309; FY15: HEMMT:675 HET:100 M915:476 M916:133 M91 7:59 FMTV:1362 PLS:308; FY16: HEMMT:675 HET:100 M915:476 M916:132 M917:58 FMTV:1315 PLS:308; FY17: HEMMT:675 HET:100 M915:476 M916:132 M917:58 FMTV:1315 PLS:308; FY18: HEMMT:675 HET:100 M915:475 M916:132 M917:58 FMTV:1315 PLS:308 The government is interested in procuring, on average, quantities of 3000-5000 per year from FY06 through FY18 of Drivers Vision Systems.
