Night Vision Imaging Systems Helicopter with Video and Artificial Intelligence Capabilities Services

The government authority located in Alberta is seeking night vision imaging systems helicopter services equipped with video and artificial intelligence capabilities. The agency requires a helicopter capable of landing in soft, uneven terrain such as muskeg to support its operations. The primary problem the agency is trying to solve is the need to detect terrain and fire hotspots through smoke and low visibility conditions. The scope of work requires a helicopter equipped with a passenger restraint system including a shoulder restraint and lap belt on all seats. The main rotor blades must have their upper surfaces painted in alternating color patterns with high visibility paint. Additionally, the aircraft must feature vertical reference capabilities, an external cargo suspension hook with a manual emergency release, and a convex mirror for indirect observation of the sling load by the pilot. The agency also requires a long line of at least one hundred feet with a remote electric hook. The contractor must install and maintain the imaging system, which must include a minimum of one monitor or tablet device displaying the collected images. This display must be operable and visible from both the pilot and co-pilot seats. Eligibility is restricted to onshore bidders located in Canada only. The performance of the work must take place onsite in Alberta. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost. No key dates or specific evaluation criteria are provided in the source.
