This is not a solicitation or request for competitive proposals. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

There is no bid package or solicitation document associated with this announcement. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Natick Contracting Division is conducting market research to obtain information regarding companies capable of providing all necessary management, resources, and technical expertise to design and build two (2) smart, universal pan and tilt units (PTUs). The first unit should be as small as practicable and capable of holding/controlling two (2) small surveillance cameras (simultaneously and one at a time). The second should be a larger system capable of holding/controlling a single large format camera/lens weighing up to 40 lbs. Design Objectives : 1. The PTUs shall accept pan and tilt commands from controllers utilizing the Visca protocol. 2. The PTUs shall be capable of translating Visca protocol commands from controllers to the appropriate output to operate non-Visca cameras on a User configurable basis. 3. The PTUs shall be capable of passing through Visca commands to a third camera that is not mounted to the PTU (reference Figure 1 attached). 4. The PTUs shall be capable of accepting "geo-pointing", Cursor on Target (CoT), and National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) data to direct automatic movement towards targets. 5. The PTUs shall provide serial, power, and video (SD/HD-SDI) pass-through between the controller device and the cameras. The preference is that all of this capability is provided via a single cable/connector. 6. The PTUs shall utilize absolute motor encoders for position feedback. 7. The PTUs shall be rated to IP-67.
