Description
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, with secondary focus on MWIR, Radar, and SWIR. The program seeks a modular system of concealment solutions that are lightweight, durable, and effective across multiple spectral bands and diverse operational environments.
Form Factors Sought
- Overgarment — Wearable over standard combat uniform and equipment
- Hide Site — Individual modular shelter for personnel/equipment concealment
- Headcover — Head and shoulders concealment
- Hasty Solution — Rapidly deployable concealment (half-ghillie, pop-up blind)
- Extremity Concealment — Hands, feet, weapon systems
- Exposed Skin — Solution for exposed skin areas
Environments of Interest
- Arid/Desert
- Woodland/Jungle
- Arctic/Extreme Cold ← Direct Arctic relevance
Key Requirements
- Reduce probability of detection from ground and aerial VIS, IR, and radar sensors
- Compatible with standard fighting combat load
- Durable through deployment cycle, field-repairable
- No meaningful impact on soldier load
- Comfortable and breathable — no negative physiological burden
- Must address future threats: Aided Target Recognition (AiTR), UV sensors, LiDAR, hyperspectral imaging
Response Requirements
- White paper (max 20 pages, 12-point font)
- Technical Data Matrix (Excel attachment)
- Optional: Submit 1-3 Product Demonstration Models by 30 June 2026
