- Description
- 1. The 782 Test Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base, FL is seeking sources for an anticipated requirement for a mid-wave infrared hyper-spectral imaging sensor system based on the Fourier transform spectroscopy technology. Total system includes the hyper-spectral imaging sensor, a PC-based data acquisition/sensor control system, and a tripod for mounting the imaging sensor. Sensor requirements are as follows: - InSb FPA and closed cycle cooler assembly with spectral range of 3.0 to 5.5 µm, - FTS design with the interferogram, raw spectrum, calibrated spectrum or co-added spectra (up to 16) output for each pixel as a datacube, - Operate in 2 selectable modes, spectral imaging and standard imaging, - Adjustable FTS sensor temperature from ambient+10°C up to 50°C, - Motorized adjustable focus from 3m to infinity, - Integrated co-boresighted visible color CCD (at least 640 x 480), - FPA size of 320x256 pixels with IFOV of 0.35 mrad, -.25X demagnifying telescope, - Spatial binning of up to 16 pixel areas, - Well capacity of 4.5M electrons to 18M electrons, - Internal radiometric calibration capability (0°C - 100°C) using 2 internal blackbody targets with option to use external blackbodies, - Ability to reduce image window size and re-position on FPA, - Ability to adjust minimum and maximum limits of the output spectra, - Filter holder with retaining ring accessible from outside the system enclosure, - CameraLink interface for data output, - Ethernet interface for sensor control, - Sensor weight less than 30 kg, - Operate from 60 HZ, 110VAC. Sensor performance requirements are as follows: Performance Requirement Units Value NESR (@ 16cm-1resolution, 300K scene) nW/cm2 sr cm-1 < 8 @ 5 µm Radiometric accuracy K < 1 @ 5 µm Integration Time Sec Adjustable from 5µ - 10m Data rate, 128x128 window size @ 16 cm-1 spectral resolution datacube / s > 2 Data rate, 128x128 window size @ 4 cm-1 spectral resolution datacube / s > 0.6 FPA cool-down duration (@ 25°C ambient) minutes < 9 Spectral resolution cm-1 Adjustable from 0.25 to 150 Operating temperature °C 0 to 35 Steady-state power consumption W < 150 Maximum power consumption W < 300 The data acquisition and control system must meet the following requirements: - Provide controls to adjust sensor parameters and display current sensor configuration, - Display the interferogram or spectrum of a selected pixel, - Record sensor output to hard disk controlled by either a user-entered number of datacubes or manual start/stop recording control, - Monitor and display FPA temperature, FTS sensor temperature, environment temperature and humidity, - Monitor and display percentage of well capacity used, - Monitor and display reference laser signal level, FTS mirror sweep speed, and sampling parameters, - Acquire data from the forward scan, reverse scan, or both, - Monitor and display internal blackbody temperatures. - User training for the system shall also be conducted at Eglin AFB, for eight (8) individuals. - Operations manuals, data sheets, etc., will be supplied along with the system. 2. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources. Please contact this office if your company can provide a product that meets these requirements or offers a similar product. This synopsis does not constitute an Invitation for Bid or Request for Proposal, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses to this notice must be received no later than 11 July 2008, 4:00 P.M. central time. Firms responding to this notice should state whether they are, or are not, a small business concern, a service-disabled veteran owned small business, or a HUBZone business concern as defined in FAR 52.219-1 for NAICS Code 333314, small business size standard of 500 employees. The Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based on responses hereto. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this Sources Sought Notice, nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. Any interested parties shall ensure that they are registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR). To register in CCR, go to http://www.ccr.gov or call 1-888-227-2423 for assistance. 3. The format is at the discretion of the interested party. Please provide specifications and any other pertinent information that may help identify any pertinent characteristics. 4. Please direct any contractual question about this requirement, by email only, to 1st Lt Rodney Lewis (main) e-mail rodney.lewis@eglin.af.mil or Lillie Loggins (alternate), e-mail lillie.loggins@eglin.af.mil.
