59 -- CIRCUIT CARD SOL F08651-98-Q-1048 DUE 033198 POC Paula Faye Cosson, (850) 882-5169, Contract Specialist; Kim D. Williams, Contracting Officer The Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC) is contemplating awarding a Sole Source procurement to Computer Science and Applications Inc, 2 Clifford Dr, Shalimar, Florida. The Kinetic-kill-vehicles Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (KHILS) facility has a requirement for a Real-time Non-Uniformity Correction (RNUC) interface for use on its Wideband Infrared Scene Projector (WISP) systems. This RNUC interface must provide correction for the IR projector system's intensity output. The WISP projector system is comprised of a 512X512 array of resistive pixels. Each of these pixels can be commanded to project a particular heat signature. Without non-uniformity correction, for any set input, the WISP projector pixels produce a slightly different output. The required RNUC interface must provide the capability to calibrate this non-uniformity out of the WISP system. This RNUC interface must be capable of providing output correction at frame rates in excess of 100 Hz for the entire 512X512 array of pixels comprising the WISP projector system while at the same time be compliant with existing WISP control electronics. Required delivery is to be within 45 days after contract award. Firms responding to this synopsis will be evaluated on the following criteria: The RNUC interface must provide for real-time non-linearity correction on a pixel by pixel basis for a Wideband Infrared Scene Projection (WISP) system; detailed information regarding the WISP system is available through US Government DTIC services or through SPIE published proceedings; the RNUC interface must be able to implement a linerization on all WISP projection elements; for any set commanded input, all 512X512 WISP projection elements emit a uniform output; the maximum data rate for the RNUC interface must be no less than 40 megapixels/second; this will allow for frame rates of 160Hz for 512X512 array; the RNUC interface PC board must comply with the VME 9UX400mm architecture; all RNUC coefficients to be used in implementing the non-uniformity correction must be able to be loaded on power-up of this system through the PC boards VMEbus interface. Technical questions may be directed to Lt Tom Bergin, at (850) 882-4446 ext 2259. Contracting questions may be directed to Paula Faye Cosson at (850) 882-5169. Replies to this synopsis should be provided to AFDTC/PKOS, 205 West D Ave, Suite 541, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6862. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. (No contract award will be made on the basis of bids/proposals received in response to this synopsis.) Firms responding to this synopsis should reference F08651-98-Q-1048 and indicate whether they are or are not a small or small disadvantaged business concern as defined in FAR 52.219-1 and 52.219-2 and whether they are a manufacturer or dealer/distributor. The Air Force reserves the right to consider small business set-aside based on responses hereto. Requests for copies of this solicitation must be in writing; or fax (850) 882-9442. Telephone requests will not be honored. *****Note 22 (0075)
