Description
Purpose: The Coast Guard is issuing this request for information (RFI) for market research purposes. The goal is to identify potential sources capable of providing lightweight night vision goggles (NVG) that reduce crew fatigue while maintaining operational effectiveness.
The USCG operates a fleet of approximately 200 rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft equipped with various thermal imaging technologies. Night Vision Goggles are essential for executing the majority of missions conducted during low-light operations. This is currently accomplished using the AN/AVS-9 with white phosphor intensifier tubes. The current Night Vision Goggles have caused significant fatigue across the fleet due to their weight. The USCG is seeking information from various commercial vendors to compile market research to help determine a maintainable replacement for our current goggles.
The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement may be 333314 - Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing.
Item Description: The Night Vision Goggles shall provide visual acuity during Nighttime Operations with white phosphor. NVGs shall be capable of attaching to current helmet mounts and use current battery packs to make it interchangeable throughout the surface and air fleet. The product described shall be able to be calibrated using the current ANV-126A-001 test set with goggle adapter plates. The NVG's shall have adjustable rails, to adjust each monocle horizontally as well as vertically with tilt function. The objective lenses must be at least Class B for rotary wing and Class C for fixed wing entities. It is necessary to have a way to mount the Heads-Up Display (HUD AN/AVS-7) system currently in use by USCG.
Specifications:
System shall be capable of mounting to current existing USCG Night Vision Goggle hardware/system Mounting: Using current system (AN/AVS-9) Aeronox mount and battery pack Weight: Less than 535...
