Boroscopes - gun barrel inspection system
Good Afternoon,
The U.S. Coast Guard, Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC), Engineering Services Division (ESD), Electronics and Ordnance Branch (EOB) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources capable of providing a gun barrel inspection system to visually inspect the interior material condition of naval gun barrel calibers of 57mm, 76mm and 127mm.
