About this file

This document is a Statement of Need (SON) for a Hemispheric Scattering Measurement Instrument. The key requirements are:

The instrument must be capable of performing low-cost Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution (BRDF) measurements of materials at angles of incidence from 0 to 60 degrees, with a step size and angular resolution of 1 degree or less. It must have three discrete light sources in the blue, green, and red wavelength ranges, and be able to export BRDF data in .txt file format. The instrument dimensions must be 3 ft or less in width, length, and height, and it must be encapsulated in a dark box/cabinet to eliminate stray light interference. The manufacturer must be ITAR certified, but a reseller does not need to be.

This SON is associated with a federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number FA9401-Q-0021) for the Hemispheric Scatterometer, issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center.

STATEMENT OF NEED

Requirements Document

Hemispherical Scattering Measurement Instrument

1. Overview:

The requires a scatterometer that will be used for locally acquiring low-cost Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution (BRDF) measurements of materials that can be compared to measurements gathered from outside facilities.

‐ Product must perform measurements at angles of incidences from 0° to ≥ 60°.

‐ The step size in change of angle of incidence must be ≤ 1

‐ Product must have an angular resolution ≤ 1°.

‐ Product must be capable of exporting BRDF data from the instrument to a computer system in the form of

.txt file.

‐ Product must have three discrete light sources in the blue, green, and red wavelength range.

‐ Dimensions of product must be ≤ 3 ft in width, length, and height.

‐ Instrumentation must be encapsulated in a dark box/cabinet to eliminate stray light interfering with measurements.

The manufacturer of the product needs to be ITAR certified. However, a reseller does not need to be

ITAR certified and does not need to be registered with DDTC.
