Industry Day Announcement Summary
This is an Industry Day announcement from the Department of War in support of the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) mission, seeking innovative diagnostic and imaging solutions for measuring and monitoring extreme temperature systems in aerospace component testing. The Government is evaluating advanced optical sensor suites—specifically Infrared (IR) cameras, High-Speed and Visible-light cameras, Pyrometers, Hyperspectral imagers, and Spectrometers—for their feasibility, lifecycle costs, and integration capabilities. The requested capabilities include continuous thermal profiling across extreme temperature regimes, real-time analysis with flow visualization and debris tracking during active testing, and non-intrusive gas-phase and material diagnostics under aerothermal environments.
The in-person Industry Day event is scheduled for October 15, 2026, at the Gossick Leadership Center (GLC) Facility. Companies with active System for Award Management (SAM) profiles must register by 1 p.m. Central Time on October 15, 2026, by emailing Leslie McGowan (leslie.mcgowan@us.af.mil, 931-454-4425) and Zachary Dickson (zachary.dickson.2@us.af.mil, 931-454-3336) with participant names, titles, company names, CAGE codes, contact information, and U.S. citizenship confirmation. Interested parties are encouraged to submit a maximum 5-page Capability Statement in PDF format by the same deadline, addressing commercial capabilities, existing sensor lines, and integration concepts. Virtual attendance is not authorized, and foreign participation is prohibited. This announcement does not constitute a request for proposal or invitation for bid; any procurement action will be announced separately, and the Government will not reimburse costs associated with preparation or participation.

Industry Day for
Thermal Metrology & Optical Diagnostic Cameras
ANNOUNCEMENT: The Department of War (DoW), in support of the Arnold Engineering
Development Complex (AEDC) mission, is seeking innovative, intrusive and non-intrusive diagnostic and imaging solutions to measure and monitor extreme temperature systems.
OBJECTIVE: To dramatically expand aerospace component testing throughput, AEDC requires the comprehensive integration of cutting-edge thermal metrology. The Government is evaluating the feasibility, lifecycle costs, and conceptual integration layouts of these advanced sensor suites to make highly informed, long-term acquisition and deployment decisions.
BACKGROUND: We are soliciting capabilities from leading manufacturers of advanced optical sensors—specifically Infrared (IR), High-Speed, and Visible-light cameras, alongside Pyrometers, Hyperspectral imagers, and Spectrometers. The primary objective is to deploy real-time analysis, thermal profiling, and debris tracking capabilities across both high- and low-temperature regimes.
REQUESTED CAPABILITIES: The Government is soliciting capabilities and technical insights from leading manufacturers and system integrators of advanced optical sensors. Focus areas include:
Sensor Technology Mission Application
Infrared (IR) & Pyrometers Continuous thermal profiling across extreme high-and low- temperature regimes
High-Speed & Visible Cameras Real-time analysis, flow visualization, and debris/particle tracking during active testing
Hyperspectral & Spectrometers Non-intrusive gas-phase and material diagnostics under active aerothermal environments.
TENTATIVE EVENT AGENDA:
0800-0830 Registration & Badge Pickup
0830-0915 Welcome & AEDC Mission Briefing
0915-1000 Technical Requirements Overview
1000-1030 Q&A Session (Open Forum)
