Individual Multispectral Camouflage (IMSC) Capabilityview on SAM.gov

PdM SCIE is seeking information on technologies and products related to individual signature management with a focus on providing mitigation from VIS, NIR, and LWIR sensors and a secondary focus on MWIR, Radar, and SWIR. PdM SCIE is interested in a modular system of concealment solutions that are lightweight, durable, and effective across multiple spectral bands and diverse operational environments. Specific form factors of interest include, but are not limited to: Overgarment: A wearable garment designed to be worn over the standard combat uniform and equipment. Hide Site: An individual, and ideally modular to allow multiple connections, shelter for personnel and equipment concealment. This solution can also be multifunctional, for example also acting as a wearable poncho. Headcover: A solution for concealing the head and shoulders area. This can be included or separate from overgarment solutions. Hasty Solution: A lightweight, rapidly deployable concealment system, such as a half-ghillie/assaulters ghillie or pop-up blind, for temporary positions or quick on-the-move concealment. Extremity Concealment: Solutions for concealing hands, feet, and weapon systems. Exposed Skin: Solution for exposed skin; optional depending on capabilities and combination of solutions. Specific environments of interest include: Arid/Desert Woodland/Jungle Arctic/Extreme Cold While each form factor and intended environment may require unique performance characteristics, PdM SCIE is looking for solutions that meet these general requirements: Reduce probability of detection from ground and areal VIS, IR, and radar sensors. The focus should be integrating these capabilities into one technology if possible. Conform to existing developed target specifications on NIR & SWIR. Values can be provided with a signed NDA by emailing the POC's listed in Section 6.0. Be easy to don and doff (if applicable) and not hinder Soldiers' movement during operations. Be compatible with a standard fighting combat load and be fully interoperable with existing equipment. Soldiers must have a way to easily access their necessary equipment while wearing the developed kit. If they are not wearing it, they must have an easy way to carry and access it. Be durable through a deployment cycle and field reparable to snags or cuts. Be effective in a minimum of 1 operationally relevant environment (woodland/jungle, arctic/snow, and/or desert/arid). Not have a meaningful or degrading impact on soldier load. Any additional weight added to the soldier load must have an offset in capabilities/performance. Not give off audible signature that would hinder Soldiers performance/situational awareness or lead to Soldier detection. Be able to dry quickly as to not negatively impact signature. Be comfortable and breathable. The capability shall not create a negative physiological burden that detrimentally impacts Soldier performance, mobility, communication, reaction time, etc. Negative impacts on physiological…
