Advanced Uncooled Thermal Integration Efforts W56KGU-RTI-0426
Summary
AI-generated · Mar 27, 2026Market research by the Army DEVCOM C5ISR Center seeks to inform future system-level requirements and prototype development that integrate next-generation uncooled thermal sensors. The proposed systems would incorporate Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) thermal sensors that are lens-less and compliant with a TBD Interface Control Document.
System integrators will need to design an appropriate lens interface to couple with the sensors to demonstrate the advanced capability and validate Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6+ in a relevant environment. Responses may include complete systems or individual capabilities; emphasis is on showcasing these advanced sensors in configurations optimized for low Size, Weight, and Power and Cost (SWaP-C).
The United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is performing market research to inform future system level requirements and/or prototype development/build efforts which integrate next generation uncooled thermal sensors. The desired systems shall incorporate Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) thermal sensors. These thermal sensors will be compliant with a TBD Interface Control Document and will be lens-less. The system integrators will need to design an appropriate lens for the application that will interface with the sensors to demonstrate the advanced capability and prove out Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6+ by being assessed in a relevant environment. Responses including complete systems and/or individual capabilities/expertise listed below are welcome. Proposed systems should focus on showcasing these advanced sensors in systems that are optimized for low Size, Weight, and Power and Cost (SWaP-C).
