Third Generation Forward Looking Infrared Dewar Cooler Bench
Added: Mar 16, 2016 3:08 pm
The purpose of this Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) contract, W909MY-16-C-0009, for Third Generation Forward Looking Infrared (3GEN FLIR) is to design, develop, fabricate and qualify a producible Dewar Cooler Bench (DCB) to improve the U.S. Army's existing FLIR sensor technology and provide enhanced capabilities for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition. The U.S. Army requires sensor technology with the capability to correctly identify detected ground targets beyond the maximum effective range of enemy weapons systems. The end-state objectives are to have interchangeable components for the DCB, afocal, imager and circuit card assemblies (CCA) similar to the architecture of Second Generation FLIR.The 3GEN FLIR DCB is an Engineering and Manufacturing Development requirement requiring a CPIF type contract because of the The nature and uncertainties of the work involved does not permit the use of any fixed-price type contract. The period of performance is 66 months, which includes two options. There is a 42-month base period, which includes a 24-month option period for Improved Optical Improvement; and a second option with a period of performance of 24 months for Manufacturing Risk Reduction.

Added: Apr 22, 2015 5:46 pm
The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground, Belvoir, on behalf of Product Manager, Ground Sensors, intends to release Request for Proposal for W909MY-15-R-D002, Third Generation (Improved Forward-looking Infrared) (3rd GEN (IFLIR)) Dewar Cooler Bench (DCB) on or about May 6, 2015. The Army looks to establish the next generation of thermal imaging capability for ground-based platforms. The purpose of this requirement is to improve the Army's existing FLIR sensor technology and provide enhanced capabilities for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition. The 3rd GEN (IFLIR) seeks to maximize compatibility and commonality of components to deploy advanced thermal imaging capabilities to the Army and vastly reduce lifecycle costs. The 3rd GEN (IFLIR) objective is to develop, integrate, test and demonstrate dual-band Mid Wave Infrared (MWIR)/Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) imaging sub-assemblies and electronic modules to replace the Army's existing Horizontal Technology Integration (HTI) Second Generation Forward Looking Infrared (HTI 2GF) B-Kit sub-assemblies and electronic modules. The RFP will be issued on a full and open competitive basis. The anticipated proposal due date is estimated at 45 days after release of the solicitation. The Government intends to award multiple award Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee (CPIF) contract with up to two (2) awards.
