- Description
- NOCA The objective of the Advanced Staring Infrared Search and Track Technologies (ASISTT) Program is to identify, mature and demonstrate technology solutions supporting the development of a future airborne long range offensive infrared search and track (IRST) capability based on staring (non-scanned) system configurations. The offensive capability to be developed requires Weapons Quality Tracks (WQT) of airborne targets under clear air and in clutter conditions. This research and development effort in staring IRST systems is in contrast to current offensive IRST implementations using gimbaled optics and smaller scanning format arrays. The ASISTT Program will develop a staring IRST technology demonstrator in a flyable brassboard configuration that can be used in a series of performance verification/validation experiments and demonstrations. The purpose is to reduce technology risk by determining and maturing appropriate technologies needed for integration into a demonstration system capable of operating in a flight environment in order to demonstrate system level performance metrics. The scope of this effort covers the analysis, design, manufacture, test and performance assessment of the requisite technologies needed to develop an offensive staring IRST with long range detection and tracking of airborne targets. This effort encompasses design and trade study analyses, sensor hardware development, detection and tracking algorithm development and/or implementation and field/flight experiment support. General Operations Security (OPSEC) procedures, policies and awareness are required in an effort to reduce program vulnerability from successful adversary collection and exploitation of critical information. OPSEC will be applied throughout the life cycle of the contract. The Critical Information List (CIL) will be provided upon request by RYOY Information Protection Office. While working on the government installation, OPSEC guidance will be provided by the RYOY Information Protection Office. The contractor shall be required to deliver all hardware, software, and associated data developed and utilized in the development of any resulting contract. It is anticipated that a BAA providing details into this program will be released in the February/March 2015 timeframe; the BAA will be made available at www.fbo.gov. Other business opportunities for AFRL are also available at www.fbo.gov. Any questions may be directed to the contracting or technical points of contact listed in the announcement.
