59 -- OPTICAL MUZZLE EXIT DETECTOR/TRIGGER SYSTEM SOL MAYTUM-OMED/TS POC Kimie A. Sanchez, Contracting Officer (520) 328-6123 WEB: NOTICES -- MAYTUM-OMED/TS, http://www.yuma.army.mil/contracting. E-MAIL: Ann.Sanchez@Yuma-exch1.army.mil, Ann.Sanchez@Yuma-exch1.army.mil. The Electronic Branch at the Materiel Test Center of the United States Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG), AZ is seeking sources that can supply an Optical Muzzle Exit Detector/Trigger System (OMED/TS). The OMED/TS shall detect muzzle exit of ammunition from 60mm mortar to 155mm artillery weapons at a working distance of 3 to 200 feet. OMED/TS will be used to trigger external devices such as muzzle velocity radar and other data collection devices. Other system requirements are: The System must be rugged for use in an arctic, desert or high humidity test environment. Ruggedization and environmental factors include ambient temperatures ranging from 15 degrees to +60 degrees Celsius (including direct sunlight), humidity from 0 to 95% RH (non-condensing), exposure to driven sand and dust, capability to withstand peak blast overpressure up to 1 psi and easily transportable to and from work sites in off-road conditions. Physical size and weight should be low to allow easy handling and mounting on tripod. The OMED/TS must have a total delay of detection to output of less than 150 sec. The OMED/TS must incorporate a sensitivity adjustment to compensate for variances in background lighting or other conditions which may generate false triggers such as power transients or Electro-Magnetic (EM) interface. The field of view should be adjustable to work at minimum and maximum distances to limit viewing range to approximately 3 feet. The OMED/TS must have (1) 50 ohm, single-ended analog output, (1) 50 ohm, isolated and single ended digital output with a variable output level adjustment of 1 to 15 volts incremented. Pulse-Width of digital outputs should be within the range of 5mSec +/- 2mSec. Digital output must have a fast rise time and be capable of nominal current draw from device being triggered. Output connectors must be of the female BNC type. The OMED/TS must be equipped with mount compatible with commercially available tripods. Tripod mount holding device shall also be adjustable in elevation and azimuth without the need to move the tripod legs. It is requested that your company Email detailed technical information on your company's proposed OMED/TS to Ann.Sanchez@Yuma-exch1.army.mil or send information by facsimile to (520) 328-6849 no later than 14 August 2000. Be sure to include the name of the project, your mailing address, point of contact, phone number, facsimile number, email address and business size along with your system data. You may visit our web site at http://www.yuma.army.mil/contracting also. We anticipate that the acquisition of this system will be considered commercial and that any subsequent award will be based on acquisition of commercial items under FAR Part 12 using best value factors.
