This Request for information (RFI) seeks information from industry on its interest and capability to meet the requirements of the Chemical Agent Sensors (CAS) project to procure 32 transportable optical-based standoff chemical sensor, called the Area Detection and Identification System (ADIS).
ADIS will provide chemical detection and identification as a remote stand-alone sensor, or as part of a suite of up to 6 sensors monitored. It may be controlled by the Sensor Integration and Decision Support (SI&DS) command and control system (see note on page 12). The minimum standoff detection distance will be 3 km, with a preferred distance of 5 km. ADIS will be capable of detecting both Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and provide warning to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel in a timely manner. The responses provided by industry will be considered in finalizing the Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation, in order to enable the maximum participation in the solicitation process.
