A -- AIRCRAFT OPTICAL MOUNT WITH MULTISPECTRAL CAMERAS SOL N00014-97-R-MP07 POC Mary L. Pardo, Contract Specialist, Code 3230.MP (202) 767-0666, Contracting Officer, Helen Paul, Code 3230.HP (202) 767-0666 E-MAIL: synopsis@contracts.nrl.navy.mil, synopsis@contracts.nrl.navy.mil. The Naval Research Laboratory is developing a variety of pointable airborne digital EO/IR (Electro-Optic/Infrared) imaging cameras view a scene at long slant ranges and be integrated with multi/hyperspectral sensors form a common aperture system capable of autonomous curing and imaging of military targets . Several major pieces of capital equipment will be required to develop and demonstrate this concept fully: high spatial and spectral resolution visible and infrared multi/hyperspectral sensors, a stabilized optical mount, high speed recorders, high speed processors, an airborne platform, and a high speed digital air-to-ground communications link. A high quality stabilized optical imaging system suitable for flight on NRL P-3 and other aircraft is therefore required. The high quality stabilized optical imaging system may be designed and assembled specifically for this procurement, or may be modification of an existing system, or may utilize existing components or subsystems, such as existing optical telescopes, EO/IR imagers and spectral sensors. The origin of any such existing systems, subsystems, and components must be documented. If such existing systems, subsystems, and components are government-owned, mechanisms for transfer control must be identified. The delivered system must be capable of future multi/hyperspectral operation.Technical specifications will be included in the solicitation. Required delivery shall be 120 days after date of award. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. Telephone requests will not be honored. Fax requests for this solicitation will be sent to (202) 767-6197 or 5896 and must be followed by a hard copy. Send requests for N00014-97-R-MP07 to Contracting Officer, Attn: Code 3230.MP, Naval Research Laboratory, 4555 Overlook Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20375-5326. This solicitation will be issued full and open competition. **** (0211)
