BLAST OVERPRESSURE PHYSIO SENSORS

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command-Armaments Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources for blast overpressure and physiological sensors. The contractor shall provide a device with integrated blast overpressure measurement and physiological monitoring system for Government evaluation. The device must include capabilities such as heart rate, respiration, electrooculography, gate analysis, pulse oximeter, and electroencephalography. The contractor shall also provide technical information and support for the Government to use the devices in its own verification, validation, and operational assessments. • The device must collect the entire time series of the blast at minimum, including the peak overpressure, positive phase duration, and positive phase impulse. • The device must not use an accelerometer to capture the blast overpressure data unless it has been verified to capture all the blast parameters mentioned above. • The contractor shall build and deliver a system including the firmware, software, hardware, and configuration needed to record, store, and export integrated physiological and blast overpressure data. • The contractor shall provide technical support, as requested by the Government, to address issues discovered during Government-led verification and validation and to inform potential improvements for follow-on system generations.
