- Description
- The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV), Indian Head, Maryland is requesting information on recent, state-of-the-art technologies that will enable the development of a highly dexterous mobile manipulator that is deployable on future Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). Promising technologies could be considered for integration into the Advanced Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robot System (AEODRS). Improvements over currently fielded systems are desired in the areas of dexterity, precision, and ease of control to facilitate performing very detailed tasks, while maintaining or improving the strength and robustness required by the physical demands and unstructured environments typically encountered during EOD missions. Responses in the areas of advanced dexterity, haptic feedback (vibro-tactile, etc.), strength, speed, and sensing and controls are encouraged, although technologies in other areas are also welcome. Responders are encouraged to include as many of the following items as possible:.Performance specifications and/or test results.Current and projected Technology Readiness Level (TRL).Cost (if available).Scalability of the technology.Associated controls or control features.Workspace specifications and/or diagrams.End-effector configuration, specifications, and/or description In addition, responders are requested to fill out the attached Word document to the extent possible, which includes specific questions about the technology being submitted. Performance description is sought in the form of white papers, brochures, pictures, videos, specification sheets, and points of contact. Design proposals requiring developmental funding are not of interest at this time. Because submissions will be reviewed by an independent third party reviewer, government use only (GUO) submissions will not be considered. Technical questions regarding this Sources Sought may be directed to Byron Brezina at (301) 744 6858 ext.269 or by email: byron.brezina@navy.mil. SUBMISSIONS: Interested firms/research entities are encouraged to provide submissions electronically to Tammy Winters, code 052 at tammy.winters@navy.mil. Replies must be received not later than 3:00 PM EDT, June 05, 2009. Please include the solicitation number in the e-mail subject line. Each submission must include a cover page. The cover page should include the business name, solicitation number, unique title, technology area(s), names, address, telephone numbers, and email addresses of technical/business points of contact. This announcement is not a formal solicitation and is not a Request for Proposal. The intent of this synopsis is to solicit information for market research and for planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. All data received in response to this Sources Sought notice that is marked or designated as corporate or proprietary information will NOT be accepted.
