Description
The US Air Force is anticipating the solicitation of a contract for the purchase of 30 Thermal Camo Nets. The nets must meet specific technical specifications, including the ability to mask Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) signatures, and provide a significant reduction of thermal signature for personnel, vehicles, and equipment. The system must be delivered as a complete, ready-to-deploy kit, and must conform to MIL-STD-810H for ruggedness and environmental durability in harsh field conditions. Key features of the Thermal Camo Nets include:
• Reversible/Two-sided: Evergreen on one side and Woodland on the alternate side
• Utilization of nanotechnology or advanced composites for signature suppression
• Lightweight and easily transportable between locations
• Connectable to facilitate coverage of larger assets
• Must mask Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) signatures
• Significant reduction of thermal signature for personnel, vehicles, and equipment to blend with ambient thermal background to prevent detection by military-grade thermal imagers
