Delivering Unmatched Thermal Capability-Hastened (DUTCH)

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).
