- Product Manager Ground Sensors (PdM GS) is sponsoring an Industry Day for Third Generation Improved Forward-Looking Infrared (3rd GEN (IFLIR)) on 10-11 February 2015. Industry Day will be held at the Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Bldg 309, Virtual Prototyping Systems Conference Room, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information regarding the upcoming solicitations for 3rd GEN (IFLIR) capabilities, as well as provide an opportunity for Industry to ask questions in an open and in a one-on-one forum. The Industry Day presentations will be unclassified, followed by a classified session to review selected documents for individuals with a demonstrated security clearance level of at least Secret. This announcement should not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a commitment by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Industry Day. The Army looks to establish the next generation of thermal imaging capability for ground-based platforms. The purpose of this requirement is to improve the Army's existing Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor technology and provide enhanced capabilities for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition. The 3rd GEN (IFLIR) seeks to maximize compatibility and commonality of components to deploy advanced thermal imaging capabilities to the Army and vastly reduce lifecycle costs. The 3rd GEN (IFLIR) objective is to develop, integrate, test and demonstrate dual-band Mid Wave Infrared (MWIR)/Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) imaging sub-assemblies and electronic modules to replace the Army's existing Horizontal Technology Integration (HTI) Second Generation Forward Looking Infrared (HTI 2GF) B-Kit sub-assemblies and electronic modules. The 3rd GEN (IFLIR) program is comprised of two (2) requirements, the Dewer Cooler Bench (DCB), solicitation W909MY-15-R-D002, and the B-Kit, W909MY-15-R-C003. a.Industry Day will be two (2) days: Day 1: General session will begin with a program overview, followed by a question and answer session, classified session, and DCB and B-Kit One-on-One discussions.
