A -- OPTICAL LINE-OF-SIGHT POINTING, TRACKING AND STABILIZATION (PTS) SYSTEMS POC Kelly Miller, Sr. Subcontract Administrator, & 510-422-2412 The University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, seeks sources for rapidly developing and producing optical line-of-sight pointing, tracking and stabilization (PTS) systems for use on high altitude aircraft. PTS systems capable of pointing accuracies of less than 1 milliradian and image-based closed-loop jitter control of less than a few microradian rms are of interest. Automatic and operator-in-the-loop capabilites are of interest. The outcome of the research is to support one or more electro-optical instruments with a clear aperture on the order of 30 cm and totaling a weight of 50 to 200 kg. PTS system developments that can be completed within an approximately 12 month time period, ARO, are of interest. This sources sought solicits a description of demonstrated capabilities, including specific examples of systems produced and duration of development, for producing PTS systems of the class described within the stated duration. Interested firms should respond with a description of qualifications with respect to the foregoing or related fields. The small business size standard applicable to the proposed acquisition is $20 Million per year annual sales. Firms qualifying as a small business with respect to this standard should so state. Responses are required on or before July 8, 1996. Firms responding to this announcement which fail to provide the required information will not be considered for inclusion into any resulting source list. Facsimile and telephone responses will not be accepted. This notice is to assist the University in determining the potential for competition; no solicitation is currently available. (0172)
