The U.S. Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensor Directorate (NVESD) is
soliciting proposals, on a full and open competitive basis, from
qualified organizations to award a three(3) year contract(s) to develop
and prototype low power uncooled infrared focal plane arrays, imager
systems, and imager subsystems for military use and evaluation. There
is the possibility of multiple awards for this effort. The effort will
produce three prototype system/subsystem configurations for test and
evaluation. The first is a self contained, prototype imager system with
objective optics, focal plane array, supporting electronics, display
with eyepiece, and bettery provisions suitable for small arms weapon
mounting. The target recognition range minimum (man) will be 1100
meters with a minimum six(6) degree Field of View, an absolute maximum
power consumption of 4 Watts, and weigh no more than 4 pounds. The
second is a thermal imager system configured as video camera with
objective optics, focal plane array, video signal out, and provisions
for a power supply (battery) input. The range performance of the second
configuration will be identical to the first configuration with less
power consumption and weight. The third configuration is a prototype
thermal imager subsystem with application specific objective optics
package, focal plane array, supporting electronics, and will have
interface for control, video signal out, and power in. The subsystem
will be suitable for integration into crew served weapon fire control
systems, and the range minimum will be 2200 meters (man). All system
configurations will be based on state of the art uncooled focal plane
technology of at least 640x480 pixel density, with maximum 30 micron
square pixels, and will be suitable for use in basic military climatic
conditions. (2) Estimated issuance date of the RFP is 02 February 2000
and responses are due to be received in the Contracting Office
approximately forty five (45) calendar days thereafter. (3) The U.S.
Army communications electronics Command (CECOM) has established a
Business Opportunities Page (BOP) website to allow electronic
transmittal of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Invitation for Bids
(IFBs) from CECOM to Industry. All parties interested in doing business
with CECOM are invited to access, operate, send and receive information
from the BOP at (http://abop.monmouth.army.mil). All responsible
sources may submit an offer for consideration. Proposals shall be
submitted via the BOP. contractors will need to be registered users in
the BOP in order to submit proposals. Please contact 1-888-414-2677
toll-free help desk for assistance in the use of the BOP. Posted
