Gimbaled High Definition Electro-Optic Infrared (EO/IR) Sensor Replacement for Base Expeditionary Targeting Surveillance Systems – Combined (BETSS-C) and Ground-Based Operational Surveillance System (Expeditionary) (G-BOSS(E))

The U.S. Army is seeking information on potential Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Gimbaled High Definition (HD) Electro-Optic Infrared (EO/IR) Sensor Replacements to support ground-based U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR), Force Protection and Security (FPS) missions. The sensor replacement should be capable of Organizational and Depot Level maintenance. Key features of interest include enhanced capabilities to fuse and present InfraRed (IR), color, and/or Short-Wavelength InfraRed (SWIR) spectral information, 360° visibility, and standard Military Specification (MIL-SPEC) data, video and power interfaces and connectors. Some of the key points to consider are: • Potential Applications: Border surveillance, Force Protection, anomaly detection, and target acquisition • Technical parameters: Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWAP-C), interoperability with other systems, and all-weather/day/night-performance • Expected maintenance, repairability, and associated cost, including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) • Ability to repair the system package without sending it back to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) • Company experience in supporting similar missions or providing similar capabilities
