The CSP is a multi-sensor day/night imaging payload composed of the Turret Unit (TU) and the Electronics Unit (EU). The TU incorporates an Eye-safe Laser Rangefinder (ELRF), Laser Target Marker (LTM), and Laser Spot Tracker (LST). An Electro-Optic (EO) sensor within the TU provides Standard and High Definition color or monochrome imagery during daytime conditions and an Infrared (IR) sensor provides Standard and High Definition imagery during various environmental conditions, both day and night. Both TU and EU are flight qualified hardware for the Gray Eagle Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) and other rotary wing platforms. Required support is as follows: a)Acquisition of CSP payloads and associated spare items; b)Repair, retrofit, and modification of fielded CSP hardware; c)Sustainment logistics, including but not limited to CONUS and OCONUS Field Service Representatives (FSR); d)CONUS and OCONUS Engineering Support, including but not limited to Engineering design activities and Technical reach back support for CSP hardware and software/firmware (SW/FW) for the payload and components.
