Specifications

Thermal Imaging System (TIS) Performance – is to replace components which are failing and return the system to its operational state.

a. Spectral Band: MWIR (3-5 microns nominal) or LWIR (8-12 microns nominal) spectral bands.

b. Operational Readiness: operate within 10 minutes of turn-on from a cold start.

c. Polarity: operate in white-hot and black-hot polarity.

d. TIS Noise: Combined spatial noise, temporal noise and random spatial temporal noise (NETD) will be controllable.

e. Field of View (FOV): 3 fields of view or a continuous optical zoom capability that encompasses all FOV requirements stated below. Electronic zoom in each FOV is desired.

f. Definition of Clear Weather for TIS: Clear conditions is defined by the MODTRAN atmospheric code, using the 1976 U.S. Standard model, with a 5 km rural aerosol model. The defined 1976 U.S. Standard model atmospheric transmission versus range tables for each of the MWIR and LWIR spectral bands are provided immediately below.

The Scene Contrast Temperature is defined as 5.0 ° C. Non-turbulent conditions are defined as a Cn2 value of 1.0 e-15.

· NFOV Range Performance: permit the operator to recognize one or more human adults at a range of not less than ~1900 meters, each with a characteristic dimension of 0.75 meters, and with an intrinsic target to background temperature difference (RSS ΔT) of 2.0 degrees Kelvin. The cycle criterion for this task is a V50 value of 4.5 cycles.

· Intermediate Field of View (MFOV): permit the operator to recognize one or more human adults at a range of not less than ~500 meters, and with an intrinsic target to background temperature difference (RSS ΔT) of 2.0 degrees Kelvin. The cycle criterion for this task is a V50 value of 4.5 cycles.

· WFOV: The TIS WFOV shall be at least 25 degrees in the horizontal direction and at least 18 degrees in the vertical direction. Permit the operator to recognize one or more human adults at a range of not less than ~150 meters, and with a characteristic dimension of 0.75 meters, and with an intrinsic target to background temperature difference (RSS ΔT) of 2.0 degrees Kelvin. The cycle criterion is a V50 value of 4.5 cycles.

ATTACHMENT B: To be provided at award, highest level of work for this effort is Unclassified.
