939-7503 This notification is being presented in two parts. In order to
receive the complete description of this requirement refer to
solicitation number N68936-98-R-00991. This is a combined
synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with
the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional
information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the
only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written
solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation N68936-98-R-0099 is being
issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) with a SIC Code of 3827. This
solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those
in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-03 and DAC 91-12. The
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS) intends to procure
on a full and open competition basis one (1) each IR-2 Long Wave Infrared
(LWIR) Collimator with the following specifications: The IR-2 LWIR
Collimator, hereafter referred to as "Collimator," will project theLWIR
energy from a square matrix of 256 by 256 resistive elements onto a 5 by
5 degree square field of view. The collimator is part of an infrared
scene projection system and will be mounted on the inner gimbal of a two
gimbal [azimuth and elevation] target presentation portion of a five
axis flight motion simulator. These two gimbals of the five axis flight
motion simulator allow the projection system [collimator, source and
drive electronics] to move in azimuth and elevation about the three inner
gimbals and the unit under test. The gimbal to which the collimator will
be mounted is hereafter referred to as the "elevation" gimbal. The
following is a list of requirements: 1.Spectral Band: 8-12 microns
wavelength; 2. Transmission: Greater than or equal to 60 percent average
across the spectral band; 3. Object Plane Extent: A square, 26 by 26
millimeters in extent; 4. Projected field of view: 5 by 5 degree square;
5. (Focal length): (11.73 inches. This is a redundant requirement but is
included for reference);6. Exit Pupil Diameter: 5 inches, unobscured; 7.
Exit Pupil Relief: Greater than or equal to 44 inches; 8. Image
Distortion: Less than 0.5 percent at field corner; 9. Optical Resolution
(applies to entire field of view):Encircled energy greater than or equal
to 80 percent in a 0.3 milliradian circle. Alternate method: Modulation
Transfer Function (MTF) greater than or equal to 60 percent at 1.5 line
pairs/milliradian in all orientations. 10. Operational environment (all
resolution requirements apply); 10.1 Indoor optical laboratory
temperature to range between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. 10.2
Acceleration: The collimator will have to operate in a dynamic
environment. The operational specifications for the two outer gimbals are
given here so that appropriate consideration can be given to mechanical
design. The azimuth gimbal has a radius of 72 inches, a maximum angular
acceleration of 1000 degrees per second squared, and a maximum angular
velocity of 200 degrees per second. The frequency response of this
gimbal, at 0.5 degrees peak-to-peak, is 7.5 Hertz. The elevation gimbal
has a radius of 50 inches, a maximum angular acceleration of 1200 degrees
per second squared, and a maximum angular velocity of 200 degrees per
second. The frequency response of this gimbal, at 0.5 degrees
peak-to-peak, is 6.5 Hertz. 11. Physical size constraints. This
description deals with two geometric volumes. The first is the design
volume that is available for collimator and for the resistive array dewar
assembly, hereafter referred to as "projector", when mounted on the five
axis flight motion table. The second is a projector volume which, along
with the collimator, must be accommodated within the design volume. The
design volume includes the gimbal port volume and an external volume 30
inches wide, 50 inches long and 15 inches high. The elevation gimbal is
essentially half a rectangle with truncated corners (fillets). The
elevation gimbal has a square port in the central portion of the target
mounting area to facilitate target presentation to the inner three axes
of the flight motion table and the unit under test. This square port is
13 inches on a side. For the sake of this description, the center of this
13 inch opening at the outer surface of the gimbal will be the reference
point for all dimensions. For example, the external gimbal geometric
volume for the projection system as defined in the preceding paragraph
becomes: +/-25 inches "X", +/-15 inches "Y", +15 inches "Z". The inner
surface, or bottom side, of the elevation gimbal is then at -6 inches
"Z". The external gimbal geometrical volume allocated for projector and
collimator, that can be accommodated on the elevation gimbal and clear
the azimuth gimbal is a rectangular volume 30 inches wide, 50 inches long
and 15 inches high. This volume and the volume of the target presentation
port through the gimbal must accommodate the infrared projector and the
collimator element. No dimension of the final optical assembly (source
and collimator) may extend beyond the boundary of this geometrical
volume. Using the geometric reference system defined previously, the
geometric volume available for the collimator and the projector can be
represented by the union of two rectangular boxes. The Cartesian
coordinate points of the corners of this volume are given below. Using a
right handed coordinate system, starting at the center of the elevation
gimbal opening, or port, at the outer surface, or "top side", of the
gimbal the coordinate points of the corners of the volume are (all
coordinates are in inches): [6.5,6.5,-6.0]; [-6.5,6.5,-6.0];
[-6.5,-6.5,-6.0]; [6.5,-6.5,-6.0]; [6.5,6.5,0]; [-6.5,6.5,0];
[-6.5,-6.5,0]; [6.5,-6.5,0]; [25.0,15.0,0]; [-25.0,15.0,0];
[-25.0,-15.0,0]; [25.0,-15.0,0]; [25.0,15.0,15.0]; [-25.0,15.0, 15.0];
[-25.0,-15.0, 15.0]; [25.0,-15.0, 15.01] Using this Cartesian coordinate
system, the exit pupil of the collimator must be at [0,0,-50] coincide
with the axes of intersection of all five gimbals. THE SECOND SECTION OF
THIS REQUIRMENT DESCRIPTION IS FOUND IN SOLICITATION N68936-98-R-00991.
