Description
The U.S. Army is seeking industry input for the development of the Future Advanced Long-range Common Optical/Netted-fires Sensor (FALCONS) program. The program aims to replace the current Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) and Fire Support Sensor System (FS3) with a new advanced long-range sensor capability. The Army is looking for vendors who can modify the Common Advanced Multi-band Thermal Aided Configurable Sensor (CAMTACS) prototype to meet the requirements of the FALCONS program. The vendor will be required to produce five FALCONS sensors, provide technical assistance, and participate in testing and characterization.
Some key features of the FALCONS system include:
• Integration of the U.S. Army's 3GEN FLIR B-Kit
• Precision Far Target Location (FTL) sub-system
• Networked capability for cooperative engagements
• Hardware to host Aided Target Detection and Recognition (AiTDR) algorithms
• Automated alignment between the optical (day and thermal) cameras, Inertial Navigation System (INS), and Laser Rangefinder
The Army is seeking information on vendors' capabilities and experience in designing, building, testing, and modifying systems with similar characteristics to the FALCONS program.
