Title: Study of optronic and laser technologies for targeting and ranging requirements for small arms. Objectives:The work objectives for this contract are the following: The objectives of the work are:
1. To perform a study on existing and potential laser technologies for ranging and targeting capability for small arms. The work will be divided into two sections: (i) Existing state-of-the-art laser ranging and targeting technologies for small arms; (ii) Potential laser technologies such as the traditional one dimensional, fix beam, aim-and-shoot to one or two dimensional laser scanning to two dimensional flash ladar. Specification, capability and limitation on ranging and targeting up to 600m standoff distance shall be analysed.
2. To perform a review on existing literature and furthermore to perform studies and analysis to determine targeting task requirement and performance with the use of direct optics and optronic-type or pixelated, electro-optical viewing devices in small arm operations. The first goal is to determine both direct optic and optronic-type viewing devices for their performance under various parameters and field situations; and secondly, to answer the ultimate question whether sighting and targeting performance of optronic-type viewing technologies is comparable, as good as, or better than that of direct optic viewing technology. From the latter, capabilities and limits will be determined and quantitatively compared with both technologies. Due to the facts that both technologies have distinct characteristics and also these viewing devices are to produce the best viewable image to be perceived by human eyes which have direct implication on sighting and targeting performance, study and analysis on requirement and performance will make references and interpretations to human eye characteristics and working principle regarding sighting and targeting in small arm operations.
Background Under the mandate of Future Small Arms Research (FSAR) project, DRDC will examine existing and future technologies for small arm capabilities with the objective of identifying technologies which could increase shot placement accuracy and reduce engagement time. These technologies include weapon, ammunition, optics and electro-optics. A series of studies on these subjects will be performed, some of which may involve literature survey, simulation and modelling, and experiments with modules and systems in lab and field, and user trials, etc

Technical Criteria evaluation and basis selection Technical proposal: 25 points, minimum 15 points Qualification of resources: 56 points, minimum 35 points Experience of the company 25 points, minimum 12 points Total: Maximum 106 points, minimum 62 points
Basis of Selection - Lowest Evaluated Price Per Point
1. To be declared responsive, a bid must: (a) comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation;
(b) meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria;
(c) obtain the required minimum points for each criterion and each group of criteria
with a pass mark; and (d) obtain the required minimum points overall for the technical evaluation criteria which are subject to point rating.
Bids not meeting (a) or (b) or (c) or (d) will be declared non-responsive.
Neither the responsive bid that receives the highest number of points nor the one that proposed the lowest price will necessarily be accepted.
The responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price per point will be recommended for award of a contract.
The evaluated price per point will be determined by dividing the evaluated price of the bid by the number of points obtained for the point rated technical evaluation criteria. In the event that two or more responsive bids have the same lowest evaluated price per point, the responsive bid the lowest evaluated price will be recommended for award of a contract.
Other information : The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).
The requirement is subject to a preference for Canadian services. This procurement is subject to the Controlled Goods Program. There is a security requirement associated with this requirement.
