About this file

This document specifies the salient characteristics for a government procurement of an integrated camera, mount, antenna, and cabling assembly configured for analog operation up to 18 GHz. The system comprises several key components: an MPT-50 CR RF 18GHz EO 129MM SD ANALOG base positioner/gimbal with RF feed-through capabilities supporting electro-optical payloads; a Sony 7520 or Sony FCB-EV7520 camera sensor (or equivalent) featuring minimum 30x continuous optical zoom with focal length spanning 4.3mm to 129mm and analog video output; a dedicated mounting bracket compatible with the MPT-50 positioner; and a High Gain Helical Antenna (Antenna Design & Manufacturing Corporation model HA-1425A) with maximum weight of 3 lbs integrated via the MPT-50 mounting interface, with technical drawings to be provided by 59 TES.

The assembly also requires a 6-foot interface cable terminating in flying leads for custom integration, connecting directly to the MPT-50 base, and a CLT-1000R ruggedized joystick controller or equivalent capable of RS232/422 serial data interface communication. The specification explicitly requires serial data interface rather than Ethernet due to security requirements. All components must be configured and integrated to function as a cohesive system for analog operation with RF capabilities up to 18 GHz.

Salient Characteristics

The government requires a camera, mount, antenna integration, and cabling assembly configured for analog operation up to 18 GHz. The specific hardware, performance metrics, and configuration requirements are detailed below:

• Base Positioner / Gimbal (MPT-50 CR RF 18GHz EO 129MM SD ANALOG):

• Must support RF feed-through capabilities up to 18 GHz.

• Configuration must be optimized for Electro-Optical (EO) payloads with a

129mm Standard Definition (SD) Analog interface.

• Camera Sensor (Sony 7520 / Sony FCB-EV7520 or equivalent):

• Optical Zoom: Minimum 30x continuous optical zoom.

• Focal Length: Must span 4.3mm to 129mm.

• Output Signal: Analog video configuration compatible with the base positioner.

• System Mount:

• Must include a dedicated, compatible mounting bracket designed specifically to secure the camera assembly to the MPT-50 positioner.

• Antenna Integration:

• System must support the integration of an auxiliary antenna.

• Maximum Antenna Weight: 3 lbs.

• Mounting Interface: The MPT-50 must accommodate the antenna mounting pattern. Technical drawings for the specific antenna mount interface will be provided by the 59 TES.

• Note: The Antenna being mounted is a High Gain Helical Antenna, Antenna Design & Manufacturing Corporation model number HA-1425A.

• Cabling & Interface:

• Length: 6-foot interface cable.

• Connection Type: Must interface directly to the base of the MPT-50 on one end, terminating in flying leads on the opposite end for custom integration.

• Requires a compatible CLT-1000R ruggedized Joystick controller or equal. The controller must be RS232/422 Serial data interface not Ethernet due to security requirements.
