Family of Optical Systems and Modification (FOSAM)

Abstract

Program title changed at PB14 from Family of Optical Systems to Family of Optical Systems and Modifications (FOSAM). FOSAM is a level of effort program that provides for research and development, procurement, and assessment of optical systems and implementation of modifications for these systems as well as life-cycle management efforts. The research and development of future capabilities include, but are not limited, to fused/multi spectral (e.g., hand-held and weapon-mounted) optical and laser systems. Additionally this line supports the procurement of over 600,000 magnified day optics, thermal imagers, image intensifying, lasers, and illuminators principle end items (PEI) due to combat losses, wash-outs,and increases in Approved Acquisition Objectives. Sustainment efforts include sustainment of optics capabilities and/or improvements to the performance, maintainability, supportability, service life, ergonomics, and safety enhancements.
