About this file
This is a Statement of Work for procurement of a thermal imaging system by the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). AFIT's Center for Technical Intelligence and Research (CTISR) requires a high-speed, high dynamic range thermal imaging system operating in the medium-wavelength infrared (MWIR) band for research applications and graduate optical engineering labs. The specified equipment is the HDR M700 or similar system.
The minimum technical requirements include: 25 mm, 50 mm, and 200 mm focal length options; dynamic range exceeding 800 degrees Celsius (20°C to 820°C in single exposure); 3-5 microns spectral range; threaded lens mount; calibration of lens-camera combination with spectral response curves delivered in CSV format; frame rate greater than 600 Hz full frame and maximum frame rate greater than 35 kHz; minimum focal length under 5 meters; real-time temperature calibration; F/4 aperture; minimum exposure time of 1 microsecond or less; operating temperature range of -10°C to 45°C; FPA size of at least 640x512; and included computer controller. The contractor must deliver protective cases for lenses, instrument, and computers. All products must be manufactured in qualifying countries per DFARS 225.872, with the contractor bearing all costs for non-compliant products. Delivery is required within 90 calendar days of award to AFIT at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. All shipping costs and insurance are the contractor's responsibility. A one-year warranty covering defects in material and workmanship is required. Payment will be made upon submission of invoice and final inspection/acceptance through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system.

STATEMENT OF WORK
THERMAL IMAGER
2 MAR 2026
I. Background:
AFIT's Center for Technical Intelligence and Research (CTISR) requires a high-speed, high dynamic range, thermal imaging system that operates in the medium-wavelength infrared (MWIR) band.
This capability, and its associated software, would be a significant advancement in technology level compared to AFIT's current thermal imaging capabilities. This new capability would be advanced enough to enable new research but would also be available to use in AFIT's graduate optical engineering labs and student thesis research. This combination of dynamic range, along with extremely high speeds, represents a new capability that will immediately enable new defense-centered research and improve the results of on-going projects.
II. Minimum Technical Requirements:
The following specification lists the minimum (threshold) requirements for the HDR M700 (or similar):
1. 25 mm, 50 mm, and 200 mm focal length options
2. Dynamic range greater than 800 degrees C at recorded live (AFITS’s interpretation is the ability to capture an image in the temperature range from 20 degrees Celsius to 820 degrees Celsius in a single exposure without saturating the camera.)
3. Spectral range 3-5 microns
4. Threaded lens mount
5. Calibration of lens camera combination
6. Delivery of all calibration data to include camera/lens spectral response curves in csv format
7. Frame rate greater than 600 Hz full frame
8. Protective case for lens', instrument, and computers
9. Maximum frame rate greater than 35 kHz
10. Minimum focal length of less than 5 meters for all optics
11. Real time temperature calibration
12. Aperture size F/4
13. Minimum exposure time 1 microsecond or less for full frame rate
14. Operating temperature -10 C to 45 C
15. FPA size at least 640x512
16. Computer controller included
III. Qualifying Country Products:
All products delivered to satisfy this requirement shall be manufactured in a qualifying country source in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 225.872.
Products from other than qualifying countries will not be accepted, and any costs associated with products from other than qualifying countries, including shipping, etc., shall be at the contractor’s expense.
IV. Delivery and Training:
Delivery is required by the earliest possible delivery date, not to exceed 90 calendar days after receipt of Award. All shipping costs to include insurance will be included in contractor’s proposal. Great care using standard, approved packaging methods shall be taken.
Delivery Address:
POC: Dr. Michael Dexter
Air Force Institute of Technology/ENP
2950 Hobson Way
WPAFB, OH 45433
V. Training:
Training is not required for this requirement. Installation is not required for this requirement.
VI. Warranty:
All parts must be free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal and proper use in accordance with the user manual, for the period of one calendar year after receipt of delivery.
VII. Invoice and Payment:
The contractor shall be paid upon submission of a properly prepared invoice and after final inspection and acceptance have been made. The invoice shall be submitted to in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) in accordance with the terms of the final contract award.
