The Statement of Work (SOW) describe the services required by Defence R&D Canada - Valcartier (DRDC Valcartier) aimed at carrying out the following objectives :
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) wants to develop a compact, helmet-mounted, ruggedized Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) camera with an illuminator, built around an InGaAs focal plane array. This work involves mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, optical design, fabrication and evaluation of the infrared camera.
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) will supply Fifteen 640 x 512, 25 µm pitch InGaAs focal plane array chips (InGaAs PIN diodes) hybridized to an existing read-out electronic circuit (ROIC). These fifteen InGaAs focal plane arrays are not packaged.
1- Package the InGaAs focal plane array already hybridized to a read-out electronics integrated circuit (ROIC) using a suitable packaging strategy. There is no need at this point for ROIC development; and
2- Integrate the packaged InGaAs focal plane array into a compact, ruggedized, energy efficient SWIR camera optimized for night-time observation that includes an illuminator with a wavelength of 1.55 µm.
This project includes two phases: Phase 1 - development and production of 1 of a Compact Short-Wave Infrared Camera. Optional Phase 2, supply and delivery 10 cameras.
Background
Imaging in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range (wavelengths from 0.9 to 1.7 microns) offers many advantages and is therefore of great interest to the Canadian Forces. SWIR imaging provides improved recognition capabilities complementing MWIR and LWIR systems. SWIR is also effective for covert surveillance, camouflage detection, imaging through fog and target acquisition and tracking, as well as eye-safe laser designator viewing.
Moreover, recent developments of Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) sensors have pushed sensing in this spectral region to a higher level of performance. The advantage of InGaAs over other technologies relies in its high sensitivity in the SWIR spectrum and its capacity to be operated near room-temperature.
Client department
The services will be rendered to Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC-Valcartier).
The period of the Contract is from date of Contract to 24 months after date of Contract for Phase 1 plus an optional year for the possibility of purchasing 10 cameras.
Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier has determined that any intellectual property rights arising from the performance of the Work under the resulting contract will belong to Canada.
Consent to a Criminal Record Verification form : The text under Subsection 4 of Section 01 - Code of Conduct and Certifications of 2003 referenced above is replaced by:
Bidders should provide, with their bid or promptly thereafter, a complete list of names of all individuals who are currently directors of the Bidder. If such a list has not been received by the time the evaluation of bids is completed, Canada will inform the Bidder of a time frame within which to provide the information. Failure to provide such a list within the required time frame will render the bid non-responsive. Bidders must always submit the list of directors before contract award.
Canada may, at any time, request that a Bidder provide properly completed and Signed Consent Forms (Consent to a Criminal Record Verification form - PWGSC-TPSGC 229) for any or all individuals named in the aforementioned list within a specified delay. Failure to provide such Consent Forms within the delay will result in the bid being declared non-responsive.
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).
The Controlled Goods Registration Program applied to this project.
The requirement is limited to Canadian goods and/or services.
