TMDE Capabilities Clause Samples

TMDE Capabilities. The TMDE, i.e. the Government-developed Common TMDE together with the Contractor-developed TMDE software, special tools, fixtures, and interface equipment, shall provide the following capabilities: 6.2.1. The TMDE shall physically connect to the FWS-I Input/Output port directly or through interface equipment, establish bidirectional communications, and report results. 6.2.2. The TMDE components shall have the ability to initiate a Built In Test (BIT) of the FWS-I that reports results and provides an indicator if newer versions of software or firmware are available. The BIT shall report software/firmware version and thermal calibration information, diagnose various operating modes of the FWS-I and fault isolate to the SRU of the FWS-I weapon sight. 6.2.3. The TMDE shall have equipment to enable/verify thermal boresight alignment (e.g. black bodies, calibrated cameras, collimator, and thermal imaging). 6.2.4. The TMDE shall perform a pixel operability check for the thermal camera and eyepiece display. The TMDE shall drive an all-white and an all-black image so the maintainer can verify all pixels are responsive (no information pixel check) on the thermal camera and eyepiece display. 6.2.5. The TMDE shall be capable of evaluating the thermal imaging module and imaging lens, including the lens focus, focus mechanism, thermal calibration, image quality, field of view, resolution (Modulation Transfer Function), temporal noise, spatial noise, and image uniformity. The TMDE shall evaluate the model-predicted performance of the thermal channel, combining the performance of the thermal imaging lens and the thermal imaging module. 6.2.6. The TMDE shall be capable of evaluating the eyepiece and display by driving the display with a test pattern with 16 shades of gray to verify proper output, focus, and field of view. 6.2.7. The TMDE shall be capable of evaluating the wireless communications from the weapon sight including signal strength, distance, orientation, and proper data transmission by emulating ISW compliant devices. The TMDE shall receive and display the FWS-I video, verify resolution, frame rate, and other data/video parameters and confirm transmission.
