About this award
The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $9.8 million firm fixed-price definitive contract by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command on September 26, 2023, to develop state-of-the-art upgrades to a night-time pilotage system for vertical lift platforms. The contract, which is not set aside and extends through September 25, 2026, supports the Army's objective to enhance pilot night vision capabilities through a strap-down pilotage system utilizing 21 advanced uncooled focal plane array sensors integrated into a single head. The work will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, and requires integration of visible and infrared cameras onto helicopters for test data collection and analysis, with deliverables including system design, data and display systems development, sensor performance assessments, and comprehensive technical reporting.
The University of Arizona engaged three major subcontractors on this program: Distant Focus Corp, a small business specializing in advanced imaging systems and optical technology; the University of Memphis, which provides research and development expertise; and DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC, a Leonardo SPA subsidiary with extensive capabilities in advanced sensor technologies and military imaging systems. This collaborative approach combines academic research expertise with specialized commercial imaging and sensor development capabilities to deliver the sophisticated technical requirements for helicopter night vision pilotage system integration and testing.
