- Description
- The US Army Contracting Command - APG (Belvoir Division) (ACC-APG Belvoir) on behalf of the US Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) Science and Technology Division (STD) is conducting research to identify state of the art technology, within industry and academia, in the area of electromagnetic induction sensors for detection and identification of buried metal targets. The overall goal of this technology is to provide a short range, soldier portable landmine detection and identification capability with a high probability of detection and a low false alarm rate. Specifically, NVESD is seeking well supported novel concepts for a metal detector sensor head, electronics, and signal processing for clutter reduction and target identification. The electromagnetic induction signatures of interest pertain to explosive hazards, to include metal and low-metal landmines and improvised explosive devices. Detection depth and resolution tradeoffs shall be considered. Sensor head position, including height above ground and attitude, as well as tracking information may be available for integration into target identification algorithms. Although the government is considering technologies for applied research, the system's size, weight, power, and cost are relevant factors for systems that could practically be transitioned to the field upon further development. Respondents are asked to submit a white paper, of no greater than 10 pages in length, describing the realistic application of their approach using sound scientific theory. Papers should also include point(s) of contact for further Government inquiry should more information be desired. Proprietary information submitted in response to this Sources Sought shall be marked accordingly and will be protected when clearly identified as proprietary. Offerors are responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses and/or acquiring test data. Submission of this information is for planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the government to procure any items/services, or for the government to pay for the information received. No solicitation document exists. Submit white papers electronically to Ms. Tamara Abdelmoty, Contract Specialist at tamara.n.abdelmoty.civ@mail.mil. All requests for further information must be made in writing or via email; telephonic requests for additional information will not be honored. Keywords: metal detector, electromagnetic induction sensor
