About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is seeking a camera array system for the SkyVision Test Site located at Springfield-Beckley Airport in Springfield, Ohio. The system is intended to enhance situational awareness and support safe operations for Advanced Air Mobility, including Uncrewed Aircraft Systems and electric Vertical Take-off and Landing aircraft. Key technical requirements include providing 3-D positioning with 360-degree coverage, a detection range of approximately 4 miles, ADS-B capability, remote camera controls, and compatibility with standard ASTERIX data protocols. This is currently a Sources Sought (SS)/Request for Information (RFI) notice, inviting small businesses to submit capability packages demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements. Interested parties must submit their responses via email to Jason Sav by June 20, 2025, at 5:00 pm Eastern Time, with specific documentation including company details, small business status, relevant experience, and potential technical capabilities.
No specific set-aside has been designated for this opportunity, though small businesses are encouraged to respond, including 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, and women-owned small business categories. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. While no specific award value is mentioned, the complexity of the camera array system suggests a potentially significant contract value. The system will need to support terminal aircraft operations using electro-optical/infrared technology, with installation, integration, and training potentially being part of the overall project scope. Contractors will also need to coordinate with the airport on mounting and structural requirements, which may involve an engineering study of tower load capabilities. The government has emphasized that this notice is not a commitment to award a contract and will not reimburse proposal preparation costs.
