The government will not reimburse contractors for any costs incurred for their participation in this survey. The United States Army is conducting a marke t survey to determine the potential availability for improvement or growth of Remote Weapons Systems (RWS) to equip different platforms for full spectrum operations. The U.S. Army desires input (completion of questionnaires) regarding potential approaches for current capabilities and opportunities to modernize RWS. Of interest include comments about the potential for stabilization, auto tracking, light weight eye safe laser range finders (w/lead capability) IR pointer, improved system survivability and safe ty, Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR) performance, remote controlled operations, far target location/designation, digital initiator exchange with FMCB2 and other ABS systems, weight reduction concepts. The U. S. Army desires a Platform Performance Demonstra tion of RWS capabilities on a Stryker vehicle and other Army vehicle platforms. The purpose of this demonstration is to assist the Army in refinement of RWS requirements and is not part of an Army acquisition action. Potential interested parties are invite d to participate in a Remote Weapon System (RWS) Platform Performance Demonstration at Ft. Benning, GA, 10-14 May 2004.

Interested parties are invited to provide information of candidate equip ment in advance but not in lieu of Ft. Benning demonstration. At the time of the demonstration, written documentation to support the ability to meet the requirement, or a detailed description of system modifications that are contemplated to assure requirem ents can be achieved, must be provided.
