MARKET SURVEY “ SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS - The United States Government (USG) is issuing this sources-sought announcement as part of a market survey. The Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) is seeking information for market research purposes relative to Multi-Sensor Gimbaled Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Stabilized systems possessing capabilities such as Target Location Accuracy, Multi Target Tracking, High Definition Video, and Multi-Spectral/Multi-band/Multi-Function Lasers. Request for information (RFI) is sought for both Multi-Sensor Gimbaled Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) stabilized systems and subsystems which may provide any of the capabilities listed above. Furthermore, this RFI is seeking information on systems suited for airborne, sea, and land-based military applications. System information will be technically evaluated and used for M&S system performance with various atmospheres and targets. Also provide budgetary rough-order of magnitude (ROM) unit pricing, schedule availability information, mean time between system failures as well as mean time between system abort, and any product literature that might be useful in evaluating the system. Please highlight video output formats, laser wavelengths & capabilities, inertial measurement unit to gimbal accuracy errors, command and control protocols, and SWaP. This information will be used to ensure that accurate representations are made regarding specific systems. Systems will be evaluated against the current and future operational requirements of the Department of Defense and homeland security. Sources are requested to provide general system information, per Form 1 of the attachment, along with the required optical Modeling and Simulation (M&S) information to include input files (in *.txt format) for the following M&S programs: NVTHERMIP, IICAMIP, SSCAMIP, IINVD, NVLRG, and/or NVLASERD.
