- Description
- PM IED Defeat/Protect Force is seeking sources for the production of a non-developmental roller attachment for military vehicles that can integrate Improvised Explosive Device Defeat technologies. Roller would be capable of detonating and neutralizing buried pressure-fused mines and other explosive devices. The roller would be used as a training device prior to deploying troops to theater, so it must replicate functional equipment encountered in the tactical environment. Attachment would be integrated with light and medium wheeled vehicles. Interested respondents should include information stating their ability to meet the following requirements in a white paper format: 1.) Must have a non-developmental commercial track width roller attachment that can be used for military vehicles that incorporates the following characteristics into the design: approximate width of a MRAP vehicle (RG33), blast frangibility and dampening capable, maximum front road coverage, capable of quick disconnect, able to negotiate rough terrain, modular replacement, and able to be towed. 2.) Must have a non-developmental commercial full width conversion kit capable of being used in conjunction with a track width roller. 3.) Must have an extension kit able to provide variable standoff between the roller and the host vehicle. 4.) Must have a support package for the roller system, including spare parts, user and maintenance manuals. 5.) Must be able to maintain a continuous delivery schedule throughout the completion of delivery orders. 6.) Must have a proven quality control process in place. 7.) Must have the ability, in-house or sub-contracted, to package the units for air freight travel.
