Q1: "digital video over compressed Gigabit Ethernet (T), Fast Ethernet (O), for high definition (HD)" -- Can you please confirm if this is not reverse on Threshold and Objective.. Gig E (1000 MBPS) has higher bandwidth compared to Fast Ethernet (100 MBPS) by 10X
A1: The Threshold and Objective labels are correct as is. Fast Ethernet is labeled as the Objective requirement because it requires more compression to achieve, than the Threshold Gigabit Ethernet requirement which requires less compression to achieve.
Q2: Could we get access to NV-IPM version 1.6 or later please.
A2: Requests for the latest NV-IPM version can be sent to nvlmodels@nvl.army.mil.

Q1: Could you please provide clarification regarding the maximum envelope size specified in “LR-TIM envelope rev2.step”? Specifically, we are interested in understanding the size requirements, especially regarding the intended Cool MWIR solution.
A1: The “LR-TIM envelope rev2.step” 3D model is intended to be the maximum envelope for any responses. Note this would be the maximum envelope of the entire system to include housing, lenses, etc.
Q2: Regarding the capability of the LR-TIM to identify a vehicle-sized target (3.1 by 3.1 meters) at distances of 4000 meters (T) and 5000 meters (O), it is mentioned that range performance shall be expressed in terms of 70 percent identification ranges computed by Night Vision Integrated Performance Model (NV-IPM). Could you please provide clarification on how this requirement translates to TRM4V2?
A2: The U.S. Army Night Vision Integrated Performance Model (NV-IPM) is the standard model used by our office to model range performance. The European Thermal Range Model (TRM4) is a similar model used to determine range performance, but our office doesn’t use it. Thus, we cannot answer this question. Provided the proposal is responsive to our specific requirements, we will evaluate model range performance based on the TRM4.

Q: With regard to the aforementioned RFIs, our technical team would like to perform the NVIPM modeling but are telling me that they need the definition of the V50s, which don’t seem to be in the solicitation. Could you please provide that/those?
A: LR-TIM: The identification task for these vehicle targets is defined as having a V50 of 13 cycles.
WATM: This identification task for these personnel targets is defined as having a V50 of 9 cycles.
