Product or Supply: Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging camera for scientific measurements. C. Background: U.S Army Aberdeen Test Center provides test and test support services for authorized customers within and outside of DoD, including Government and non-Government organizations, domestic, and foreign, perform comprehensive test and training, both real and simulated, exploit emerging technologies and develops leading-edge instrumentation and test methodologies. The Michaelsville Range Complex encompasses four test areas at the US Army Aberdeen Test Center and is the US Army's Center of Excellence for the developmental testing of small and medium caliber weapons, ammunition and supporting equipment including Small Arms Fire Control systems. A key metric for gauging system performance of supporting equipment is its ability to stay aligned with the weapon bore throughout testing. Improved measurement systems for this metric require an imager to track the alignment. D. Justification or Purpose: An imager that directly senses light in the 0.9um to 1.7um band is needed to evaluate test systems that produce light in that band. Without an imager that has these capabilities products currently being fielded for the warfighter will not be able to be properly tested. E. Product Description: InGaAs SWIR imager for scientific measurements. Resolution: 1280x1024 Pixel size: 12um Non cooled operation Cooling capability Frame rate >30 fps Spectral response 0.9-1.7 um, 0.3-1.7 um desired Weight: <10kg Size: < 30X20X20 cm Common lens attachment (C-Mount, etc....)
