59 -- THERMAL WEAPON SIGHT (TWS), AN/PAS-13, PRE-PLANNED PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT (P3I) POC Contact Paul Laster, Project Leader, 703-704-3492; Alex Matejka, Contracting Officer, 908-532-5204. Thermal Wespon Sight (TWS), AN/PAS-13, Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I). This is a sources sought notice for Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) program to enhance the performance of the AN/PAS-13. Responses are due NLT close of business 5/16/95. This program shall address the development of the following: (1) A long range telescope capable of recognizing vehicles at 3000 meters. It shall interface with the AN/PAS-13 TWS basic configuration. The weight of the telescope shall not exceed 2.7 pounds. Up to four telescopes will be procured. (2) A laser module (including CVAM) capable of ranging out to 3000 meters. The laser/CVAM module shall interface with the AN/PAS-13 TWS basic configuration. The laser/CVAM module shall provide range and heading data signals to the AN/PAS-13 TWS through the TWS input/output connector. The range and heading data shall be displayed within the TWS on its LED display. The weight of laser/CVAM module shall not exceed one (1) pound. Up to four laser/CVAM moudles will be procured. (3) A head's up display (HUD) capable of simultaneously projecting TWS imagery and laser/CVAM range and heading information to the operator's eye. The weight of the HUD, including cabling, shall not exceed 0.75 pounds. Up to four HUD modules will be procured. (4) An improved Medium Weapon Telescope Assembly capable of providing a 3:1 ratio between the Wide and Narrow field-of-view (FOV) positions. The minimum WFOV shall be fifteen degrees horizontal. (5) Reduced power electronics capable of three volt logic. Overall power consumption shall be reduced by a minimum of 25%. (6) Production yield improvements capable of reducing module costs. Contract award is expected by 31 July 1995. Delivery of first units/modules is needed by 1 May 1996. Deliverable hardware must survive a man-portable Army environment. (0122)
