Revised Product Description.docx

This is a Revised Product Description document that corrects specifications for a critical replacement component in a federal solicitation. The original specification for an 8MP 30X CMOS sensor with an optical field of view (FOV) ranging from 75 to 1.18 degrees was identified as erroneous by the manufacturer. Mathematical analysis revealed the specifications were mathematically inconsistent—a 75-degree FOV divided by 1.18-degree FOV yields approximately 63.5X zoom capability, not 30X zoom. The manufacturer confirmed that no commercially available 8MP module with these exact specifications exists.

The government acknowledged the error and revised the specification based on the FLIR M460, which represents the logical next-generation upgrade from their existing FLIR camera system. The FLIR M460 provides the following corrected capabilities: 8MP resolution with 4K recording (3840 x 2160 @ 30fps), 25X optical zoom with 12X digital zoom capability, horizontal field of view of 2.4 to 49.5 degrees, and low-light performance of 0.4 lux (ICR off) and 0.06 lux (ICR on). The revised specification maintains compatibility with existing reconnaissance equipment and software infrastructure. The solicitation (W911YN26QA016) is issued by the Department of the Army Florida Army National Guard, with an amended closing date of August 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT. The overall requirement remains a commercial off-the-shelf HD marine observation camera system with two-axis gyro stabilization, thermal imaging, laser rangefinding, and integrated command and control software.
