The US Army released a combined synopsis/solicitation. This is an invitation to bid (IFB) situation. The solicitation calls for a fixed all weather long range thermal imaging system. The system is a cooled InSb detector type thermal imager that operates in teh 3.5-5.0micron wavelength with a thermal detector resolution of 640x480 pixels. Other unique configurations are the continuous zoom thermal lens that operates from 1.1deg to 14 degree FOV.
SPI has a range of fixed / pan tilt thermal systems that can meet these requirements. Contact us today for details.
