STATEMENT OF WORK

THERMAL IMAGER

4 June 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 550 Hz full frame

8. Protective case for lens', instrument, and computers

9. Maximum frame rate greater than 32 kHz

10. Minimum focal length of less than 6 meters for all optics

11. Real time temperature calibration

12. Aperture size F/4

13. Minimum exposure time 3.6 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:

1. Delivery is required by the earliest possible delivery date, not to exceed 8 months after receipt of

Award.

2. The contractor shall be responsible for all transportation, freight, shipping, handling, insurance, customs clearance, brokerage, tariffs, duties, taxes, and any other charges associated with delivery of the supplies to the final destination, including for items shipped from outside the United States.

3. All shipping costs to include insurance will be included in contractor’s proposal. Great care using standard, approved packaging methods shall be taken.
