- Description
- MARCORSYSCOM is seeking information regarding the capabilities of commercially available off-road and highway capable vehicle platforms capable of providing Marines with ballistic and mine protection. The USMC is investigating the need for a family of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles to include personnel, cargo and litter carrier variants. Definitions: Vehicle Curb Weight (VCW) refers to a vehicle with a full fuel tank, all Basic Issue Items (BII), no crew, no payload, and no towed load; Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) refers to vehicle at maximum payload with full fuel tank, all BII and crew (crew includes driver). The MRAP shall have the following threshold ballistic and mine protection capability: Minimum protection of 10 lbs of TNT under the hull of the vehicle and 20 lbs of TNT under any wheel; Protect the crew against 7.62 x 54R B32 Armor Piercing Incendiary (API); Protection from overhead airburst and side protection against fragmentation from 20mm Fragment-Simulating Projectile (FSP) @ 3500 ft/sec (objective 5000 ft/sec) and blast protection against contact-detonated anti-personnel and anti-tank mines; Vehicle should have transparent armor that has protection equal to or greater than that of the ballistic armor on the vehicle; Transparent glass should have gun-ports. The MRAP shall have the following threshold mobility characteristics/capabilities at GVW and full ballistic/mine protection level: Payload capacity 5000 lbs; Range of 275 miles with onboard fuel at GVW at an average speed between 30 and 40 miles per hour; Crew capacity 6 - 10 Marines; Vehicle mobility profile 30 percent primary roads, 30 percent secondary roads, and 40 percent cross-country roads; Fording depth is 30 inches without an adapter kit, and 60 inches with an adapter kit; Vertical step should be equal to or less than 18 inches; Vehicle should be capable of negotiating a 40 percent longitudinal grade in an ascending or descending direction; Vehicle should be capable of negotiating 30 percent side slope; Vehicle should be capable of maintaining a speed of 60 miles per hour on level primary roads; Vehicle should be capable of negotiating a 45 degree approach angle and 30 degree departure angle; In addition the MRAP vehicle is envisioned to be fully NBC capable; a capability for remotely operated weapons system to enable the gunner to load, operate and engage targets from fully protected sanctuary of the armored hull; Vehicle should be easily recoverable and repairable in the field, with modular components that are designed to break away from the vehicle in the case of a blast. Seats should be capable of withstanding the accelerative effects of mine blasts. The MRAP vehicle should have roll protection withstanding a 360 degree rollover and air conditioning capable of operation in desert environments. Firms, which have products with the above capabilities, are invited to submit the following information within their capability statement: 1) Product summary, 2) Complete technical characteristics and test data of the vehicle and its protection capabilities, 3) Pictures/drawings of vehicle, 4) Contract Logistics Support (CLS), 5) Unit price broken down in quantities of 1, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500. 6) Corporate history including previous DOD experience if applicable. Responses will be reviewed to identify firms potentially capable of fulfilling the Governments requirements. Vendors are requested to submit their Capability Statement to the address below no later than 15 January 2005.
