Request for Interested and Capable Sources for High Speed Camera Lighting Array General Information: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) Biodynamics Rese... Request for Interested and Capable Sources for High Speed Camera Lighting Array General Information: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) Biodynamics Research team seeks to acquire this High-Speed Lighting Array to perform research on aircraft seats and restraints. CAMI seeks to purchase a modern High Speed Lighting Array to interface with existing high speed video capture system (2,000 frame per second), interface with existing crane system and planned crane improvements, as well as any training and annual maintenance needed. CAMI’s Biodynamics Research Team conducts research focused on improving occupant protection during civil aviation accidents. As part of this research, aircraft seats and restraint systems are evaluated using a dynamic impact sled and component test systems. The team develops new methods, techniques, and equipment for evaluating injury potential and methods to reduce injury and enhance survival. When conducting crash testing using the CAMI impact sled, a critical component to gathering data is the sled lighting system. Overall seat response and occupant interaction with the seat and restraint system is recorded using several high-speed, high-resolution video cameras; with new and novel seating systems being proposed in aircraft, a longer duration of video is required in order fully capture potential injuries. The system will be installed in the CAMI building’s “High Bay”; please see SOW Section 3.3 for High Bay specifications. All interested parties are advised that the FAA will not pay for any information or any administrative costs incurred that are associated with any response received from industry in response to this Market Survey/Request for Information.
