DRDC Valcartier recently acquired iCATSI, a state-of-the-art and highly sensitive hyperspectral sensor specialized for smaller field of view applications. The system integrates optical subtraction FTIR radiometry, a multi-element long wave IR sensor which scans to provide an imaging field of regard of 16 milirad (vertical) X 24 milirad (horizontal) resulting in an observed scene of 16 X 24 meter at 1 km. iCATSI also includes a long wave single pixel sensor, a bore sighted visible camera and operating and detection software.
The iCATSI performance was successfully demonstrated to the military client; however its volume and weight need to be reduced considerably to meet the application requirement (minimum 30% in weight and volume).
The objective of the contract is to improve and develop detailed concept and design to reduce the weight and volume of iCATSI and produce the best design.
Task 1 : Analysis and design The Contractor must design detailed concept of compact-iCATSI that meets the requirements listed in the Statement of work.
Task 2 : Documentation The contractor must document the detailed concept based on the task 1 results in the manner described at Annex A.
Task 3 : Pre-Production (option 1) As an option, the Contracting Authority may request, in writing, the production of the first compact-iCATSI unit. This first unit must be delivered no later than 12 months after the option is exercised.
Task 4 : Supply and delivery of additionnal units (option 2). Depending on the results of acceptance tests performed by the contractor and at the discretion of DND, the Contracting Authority may request, in writing, the production and delivery of 2 or 3 additional units of the compact-iCATSI no later than 12 months after the option is exercised.
