MARCORSYSCOM, United States Marine Corps (USMC), seeks information to identify interested vendors with the technical capability to integrate existing Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technologies, produce, and deliver FLIR systems to PM MHTV for the P-19R. The P-19R is an USMC ARFF/EFR military vehicle based on a three-axle six-wheel drive (6x6) chassis with Commercial Off-the-Shelf firefighting equipment. The P-19R was designed and manufactured by Oshkosh Defense, LLC. PM MHTV identified a requirement to add FLIR systems on P-19R in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 414. The system shall provide the P-19R the ability to detect people and objects under low-visibility conditions.
