The Government is looking for a 'camera engine', meaning that the UFPA drive electronics are supplied on a small number of small circuit cards mechanically mounted with the UFPA. No focusing optics and no video display devices are included as part of this 'camera engine'. This camera engine will have power supplied externally and a "GEN-LOCK" capability.
