67 -- IR CAMERA SYSTEMS SOL N68936-96-R-0261 DUE 080596 POC Carol Alkhafi, Contract Specialist,(619) 939-8564, or Alita Gilchrist Contracting Officer, (619) 939-8168. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to procure a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of five (5) infrared camera systems with a Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract. The systems are intended to serve multiple purposes in daytime and nighttime usage to support testing of military hardware. To achieve the required angular resolution with a practical size telescope, the three (3) to five (5) micron spectral band is required. The camera image sensor focal plane array (FPA) shall be a minimum two hundred fifty six (256) by two hundred fifty six (256) array. The government will select one of three lens for the camera that span a field of view of sixteen (16) plus or minus two (2) degrees to less than two (2) degrees. One lens shall match the following specifications: The ratio of the effective optical focal length to the effective optical aperture (F number) shall be numerically 2.45 or higher. The input pupil of the lens shall be greater than 0.9 inches and equal to or less than one inch. The total angular field of vision must be greater than eight (8) degrees and less than or equal to 9.1 degree. The intended usage is for high speed event analysis. This requires that the camera have snapshot exposure; and sensitivity and functional capability to take short exposures, and to produce full size images at rates of at least one hundred twenty (120) Hz and reduced size images at rates of at least one thousand (1000) Hz. The systems shall include a camera with (a) integral compatible optics, (b) lens cover, (c) integral cryogenic cooler. Also included with the camera is full operator control capability via a RS-422 serial remote control. Software shall be included to operate the remote control serial link and be written in the C programming language. Video output will be both RS 170 analog video format and serial and parallel (12 bit) digital output. Each system shall include a power supply, re-useable packing case, interconnect cables, and documentation. Expected delivery schedule of cameras shall be 120 days after receipt of delivery order. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. solicitation will be issued on or about July 8, 1996, and close 30 days thereafter. (0165)
