- Description
- Proposal Checklist Cost Proposal Format Spreadsheet Cost Proposal Format Instructions Full Announcment This effort is part of a larger program termed Actionable Intelligence Enabled by Persistent Surveillance. The overall goal of the Actionable Intelligence Enabled by Persistent Surveillance program is to enable the ISR-C2 enterprise to respond to asymmetric and irregLJlar warfare threats. It will accomplish that in part using small, low cost, highly capable persistent surveillance sensors mounted in Tier II or Tier III class Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) combined with decision support tools to expose enemy networks and vulnerabilities. This effort will focus on the development of appropriate Electro-Optics/lnfrared (EOIIR) sensor system technology to support the overall program. There are a number of key capabilities required for the ultra-wide field-of-view (FOV) area surveillance system. One is the ability of the sensor system to survey a wide area with adequate resolution to enable overall situational awareness of moving objects, including personnel. Another is the ability to achieve enhanced resolution in a selected region or regions of the image for the purpose of classification and identification of targets and target details. A third is the ability to perform appropriate pointing and stabilization actions, as well as any needed optical zoom functions, with no, or at least a minimum, of mechanical parts. A fourth is being able to perform the first three functions within the size, weight, and power (SWaP) required for a Tier II or Tier /II UAS, such as a Shadow 200. A more detailed discussion of the required capabilities will be presented in the Design and Performance Goals section of this BAA. In general, however, the intent of this effort will be to develop a sensor system with the optical performance characteristics listed above that does not depend on a conventional gimbal to perform pointing and stabilization functions, and does not depend on complicated mechanical motion for optical zoom functions. Removing these mechanisms reduces the weight and cost of the sensor system and enables it to achieve a SWaP appropriate for the target UASs. It is understood that certain mechanical systems may be necessary in the final sensor system design. It is also understood that the choice of a visible sensor or an IR sensor, or both, will depend on a number of tradeoffs concerning the system SWaP. Assuming that the SWaP requirements are met, the prime goals of the sensor system will be to achieve large area surveillance with the ability to zoom into at least one region of the image. Note that the sensor system is not the only component of the payload. Other processing and communication resources will be necessary in the final, combined, actionable intelligence payload.
