On July 31, 2008, the U.S. Air Force awarded a delivery order valued at $31,321.32 to Teledyne Blueview, Inc. for the procurement of Blue View sonar systems designed for remotely operated vehicle (ROV) applications. The contract covers a P900E-12 base sonar system with a 12-degree vertical field of view and 1,000-foot depth rating, which enables ROV operators to navigate and conduct operations in zero-visibility underwater conditions. The system provides high-resolution imaging with a maximum range of 60 yards, allowing operators to observe fine details such as divers' fins. The award includes the sonar module, 25-foot sonar-to-topside cable, Ethernet interface components, power-over-Ethernet adaptor, operating manual, software, and a protective carrying case. Additionally, the contract encompasses a Videoray integration kit with skid mount and Ethernet extenders to facilitate system compatibility.

The delivery order was completed by August 30, 2008, at Homestead Air Force Base in Florida. No small business set-aside was designated for this contract. Teledyne Blueview, Inc. served as the prime contractor, and the combination pricing structure reflects the multiple components and integration services required. The sonar system acquisition supports the Air Force's underwater operations and inspection capabilities, enabling personnel to conduct surveys, maintenance, and reconnaissance activities in challenging aquatic environments where visual observation would otherwise be impaired.
