![]() Accuracy goals should be approximately +/- 20 meters at 300 meters with a linear increase to +/- 60 meters at 1000 meters. Conduct testing to prove feasibility over extended operating conditions. PHASE II: Develop and demonstrate a prototype system in a realistic environment. Consider both GPS and GPS denied regions of operations. State the possibilities and challenges to achieving those ends including estimates of uncertainties in range. PHASE I: Develop overall system design that includes specifications for ranging to distances of 100 meters, 300 meters and 1km. ![]() Providing a measured range accuracy of +/- 20 meters at 300 meters is adequate for a proof-of-concept demonstration. It is not in any currently fielded system. Passive ranging is a desired new capability for our individual soldiers and for military platforms. They offer, either through correlation or key-point signature comparisons a way to determine range covertly in what until now has been consider challenging situations. Many, but not all have resolutions approaching HDTV. These low-light detectors are likely intended for the automotive market. Low light imagers have been recently announced, that span both the VNIR, and SWIR and some are even capable of single photon detection. However, laser-based probes are detectable and will leave the operator vulnerable, particularly at night.Ĭommercial applications, particularly those for self-driving vehicles, use a combination of both active and passive sensors. OBJECTIVE: Design and build a system that can passively range to operationally relevant distances in daylight, low light, overcast and night conditions.ĭESCRIPTION: To date much work has been invested in active ranging. Offerors are advised foreign nationals proposed to perform on this topic may be restricted due to the technical data under US Export Control Laws. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals (FNs), their country(ies) of origin, the type of visa or work permit possessed, and the statement of work (SOW) tasks intended for accomplishment by the FN(s) in accordance with the Announcement. The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services, including export of sensitive technical data, or the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730-774, which controls dual use items.
