S. ARMY ABERDEEN TEST CENTER (ATC) 400 Colleran Road Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005 CONTENTS Section Page 1 Scope 1 1.1 Background 1 2 Applicable Documents 2 2.1 DOD Specification 2 2.2 Non-Government Standards and other Documents 2 3 Requirements 2 3.1 General 2 3.2 Hardware Development 2 3.3 Software Development 4 3.4 Data Recording and Reporting 6 3.5 Delivery 6 3.6 Technical Support Services 7 3.7 Clause 7 Statement of Work For Integrated Target Presentation/Scoring System 1. SCOPE: This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the design, engineering development, calibration, testing, and installation of the Integrated Target Presentation/Scoring System for the United States Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) S oldier Systems Test Facility (SSTF) Small Arms Range. This SOW also identifies technical support services for the Integrated Target Presentation/Scoring System that include user training for system operation and maintenance, and complete schematics and parts lists. 1.1. Background: ATC is the Armys lead test center for Soldier systems testing with a particular emphasis on the integration of future Warfighter systems with various weapon platforms. The ATC SSTF handles testing of all items within Program Executive O ffice (PEO) Soldiers responsible areas, including Program Manager (PM) Weapons, PM Soldier, PM Soldier Equipment, and PM Sensors and Lasers. A key focus area of the SSTF Small Arms Range is the integration of small caliber weapons with future soldier sys tems. The SSTF Small Arms Range consists of 8 firing positions, 11 target berms (25m, 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 250m, 300m, 350m, 400m, 450m and 500m), with 8 targets behind each berm, as shown in Figure 1. Each target can be moved left or right about 1m. The tar gets are instrumented with Meggitt-Defense Caswell AA10E target lifters that transmit data over a fiber optic network to a central range control computer (RCC) using UDP. The range also contains a 50 foot rail which provides a moving pop-up target capabil ity. Future SSTF Small Arms Range upgrades will extend the moving target rail to 100 feet and provide a similar capability at all berms. The RCC transmits control messages to the target lifters and receives target status data from each target lifter over the fiber optic network using TCP/IP and UDP. The RCC controls the presentation and movement of targets on the range. The AA10E target lifters are configured on independent network switches. Additionally, the moving target uses a wireless link to trans mit data between the target lifter to an access point that is connected to the range fiber optic network. Single phase, 110 VAC, 225 A power is supplied for the network switches and equipment, while single phase, 220 VAC, 225 A power is available for each target lifter. In order to evaluate Warfighter performance and integration of Warfigther systems with advanced weapon platforms more effectively, ATC needs to enhance the SSFT Small Arms Ra nge testing by providing the capability to determine the location of shots fired on stationary and moving targets. Shot location data will be used in a feedback manner to control the subsequent presentation of targets so that tactically realistic target p resentation scenarios can be generated. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: 2.1. DOD Specification: MIL-HDBK-454A Standard General Requirements for Electronic Equipment MIL-STD-461E Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment MIL-STD-810F Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory CEHNC 1110-1-23 Range Design Guide TC 25-8 Training Ranges ICD.FASIT.PD 1.0 Future Army Systems of Integrated Targets Presentation Devices Interface Control Document ICD.FASIT.SYS 2.0 Future Army Systems of Integrated Targets, Systems Devices Interface Control Document (Draft) PRF-PT-00468 Performance Specification for the Future Army System of Integrated Targets (Draft version 5.4) 2.2. Non-Government Standards and Other Documents: ASME Y14.100 Engineering Drawing Practices 3. REQUIREMENTS: 3.1. General: The contractor shall design, develop, calibrate, test, and install Integrated Target Lifter/Scoring Systems for the ATC SSTF Small Arms Range. The contractor will also provide technical support services that include system operations and ma intenance training, manuals, schematics, and parts lists. 3.2. Hardware Development: 3.2.1. The contractor shall design and develop an integrated target lifter/scoring system for the 88 targets arranged as shown in Figure 1. The integrated system must be able to transmit and receive data using standard UDP and TCP/IP over the SSTF Small A rms Range fiber optic network infrastructure. Additionally, the system must be capable of transmitting data wirelessly between targets moving along a 100 foot rail and access points connected to the fiber optic network. The fiber optic network architectu re is powered by single phase, 110 VAC, 225 A. Single phase, 220 VAC, 225 A power is available for each integrated target lifter/scoring system. The integrated target lifter/scoring system must also meet Future Army Systems of Integrated Targets (FASIT) standards. The contractor shall design and develop an integrated target lifter/scoring system with a detection zone of at least 4 meters high by 3 meters wide. The system must be capable of handling weapons firing at 2,000 rounds per minute at a single target. The integrated target lifter/scoring systems must be compatible with standard infantry targets (E, F and 3D type targets used sometimes with electrically powered covers that heat the targets to make them visible through thermal optical viewers). Figure 1. ATC SSTF Small Arms Range Layout The contractor shall design and develop an integrated target lifter/scoring system that determines the position (horizontal and vertical) of rounds fired on static targets and on targets moving horizontally in front of the shooter for a distance of 100 fee t. Additionally, the integrated system must be able to detect the location (horizontal and vertical) of each shot with an accuracy of at least twice the diameter of the round fired. The system must also be capable of scoring rounds fired from any positio n along the firing line. The contractor shall design and develop an integrated target lifter/scoring system that complies with the specifications of the documents in Section 2 of this SOW. 3.2.2. The contractor shall provide a rugged monitor for each of the 8 firing positions at the ATC SSTF Small Arms Range meeting MIL-STD-810F specifications and having non-glaring screens for use in bright sunlight. The monitors must be compatible with th e SSTF Small Arms Range fiber optic network infrastructure and must operate using single phase, 110 VAC, 225 A power. 3.2.3. The contractor shall provide a RCC that will report and store shooter p erformance and target status data, that will control individual target lifters, and that will operate over fiber optic network using Windows 2000 or later. The system must also have sufficient video cards, memory, and processor speed to analyze and displa y data in real time. 3.3. Software Development: 3.3.1. The contractor shall design and develop the software necessary to operate and control the integrated target lifter/scoring system. The software must provide the capability to manually override program instructions to conceal or expose targets and t o initiate or stop moving targets. Additionally, the software must have the capability to build robust expose, conceal, and move routines that can be loaded into the RCC. The software must provide the ability to establish the amount of time that targets remain exposed, set up the sequence for exposing and concealing targets, and set the speed of moving targets. The software must also provide the capability to define multiple hit, kill, miss, and near miss zones on targets. Figure 2 shows an example of possible target zone locations. Each zone must be customizable in terms of shape and size. The integrated syst em software must provide the capability to variably control the exposure and concealment of targets based on data from the target scoring components and the target lifters. Figure 2. Target Zone Identification Table 1 summarizes the required variable control of target presentation for static and moving targets. Kill data will always conceal the target whether it is stationary or moving. Hit data will either conceal or bob the target back and forth. The bo bbing of the target can be used to simulate hitting someone who is wearing ballistic protection. For moving targets, any hit signal will conceal the target. A miss signal will continue to expose the target and then conceal the target after a user-def ined period of time for both static and moving targets. Near miss data will allow the target to remain exposed and then be concealed after a user-defined time for stationary and moving targets. A near miss will also bob a target or conceal the target to simulate someone reacting to hostile fire. Table 1. Variable target presentation control based on scoring data LETHALITY PROFILE TARGET KILL HIT MISS NEAR MISS STATIC Conceal target Conceal target or bob target and then expose target Expose target, and then conceal after user definable time Expose target or bob target or conceal target after user definable time MOVING Conceal target and continue moving to limit switch Conceal target and continue moving to limit switch or stop Continue to expose target and move to limit switch. Conceal after user definable time Continue to expose target or conceal target and cont inue to move towards limit switch or stop 3.3.2. The contractor shall design and develop a database to store all target scoring and target lifter data. The contractor shall also design and develop a database interface allowing access to the database via common database transfer protocols. 3.4. Data Recording and Reporting: 3.4.1. The contractor shall develop an integrated target lifter/scoring system where all data generated from the system is stored in a database accessible via common database transfer protocols. Data shall be reported to the central range control system f or immediate feedback to the testers. Also, data will be reported to the firing lane monitors for real time feedback to the shooters. 3.4.2. The data reported to the RCC will display the location (x and y position) of all shots on a target within the detection zone, the lethality (kill, hit, near miss, miss) of each shot, and the status (concealed or exposed) of all 88 targets. RCC will also display the number of kills, hits, near misses, and misses and the total number of shots for each shooter and for each target engaged. The RCC will also display the sequence of s hots from each shooter, the velocity and origin each shot, target identification, and shooter identification. Additionally, the RCC will display the speed and direction of moving targets, the distance from the firing point to the target, the air temperatu re near each target, and shooter performance statistics. 3.4.3. The firing lane monitors will display a digital picture of each target, the number of shots fired, the sequence of shots, the severity (kill, hit, near miss, or miss) of each shot, and shooter performance statistics. . 3.4.4. Additional data to record will be time of target exposure, time of target engagement, time of target kill/hit/near miss/miss, and time of target concealment. 3.4.5. The system must allow provide standard U.S. Army scoring reports and allow for customization of reports. 3.5. Delivery: 3.5.1.
