- Description
- The following language has been added to the Sources Sought Notification: LOGISTICS The contractor shall provide the following support elements: * Initial spare parts to support all range equipment for a period of three years. * In-Kingdom Contractor Logistics Support to provide range equipment repair and return services for a period of three years. ******************* PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: PEO STRI Project Manager for Training Devices (PM TRADE), Product Manager for Foreign Military Sales (APM FMS) is upgrading existing ranges and targetry to include the installation of electronic communications equipment between the Tactical Maneuver Area and the Fixed Base Facility on the Multi-Purpose Range Complex. APM FMS is submitting a Sources Sought Notification for a Technical Capabilities Statement, Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM), and an estimated Performance Schedule that will fulfill the Saudi Arabia National Guard (SANG) range(s) modernization program to include information on potential offerors' products and types of services. The technical capabilities statement shall respond to the following areas of interest: The FMS SANG Range Modernization Program upgrades existing ranges and targetry installation on newly constructed ranges. These live-fire ranges shall be used to train everything from small arms familiarization and qualification on Automated Record Fire (ARF) to collective Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) qualification conducted on a Multi-Purpose Range Complex (MPRC). All target lifting mechanisms on all the ranges are made by Meggitt Training Systems. The Technical Capabilities solution must be compatible with these target mechanisms: * DP62-Moving Armor Target * AA25-Stationary Armor Target * DP 26-Moving Infantry Target * AA10-Stationary Infantry Target Part of this effort includes installation of electronic communications equipment between the Tactical Maneuver Area and the Fixed Base Facility on the MPRC to hardwired control of individual targets on ARF rifle qualification ranges. Ranges will be powered by generators. Range construction is NOT a part of this effort, assume new construction. (See Attachment A - KAA Range Complex and Attachment B - Shadgum Range Complex for the noted Hardware and Software requirements for each range.) The terrain is generally flat and should not interfere with electronic transmissions. For purposes of this request, assume new construction on Range 1, 3, 12 A/12B, and 15, including firing positions, target pits, and control towers. On Range 24 assume the maneuver element to be a Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) Company, 16 vehicles and 150 fitted with One-MILES that will transmit data to the Fixed Base Facility via the Range Control System (RCS) deployed at the Control Tower. The RCS must be able to trigger events based on player location data provided by the Lockheed Martin's One-MILES Player Unit system being deployed by SANG in the maneuver area. Ranges 8, 11, 20, 21, 24 AARs must also be compatible with Lockheed Martin's One-MILES, One-MILES player unit and range communication solution, currently being procured by SANG in order to allow Force on Target training and Event trigger capability. In addition, the AAR capability must be designed for LAV section, platoon, and company level training. The Target System shall replicate the behavior of the threat presentations, dismounted stationary and moving individuals and combat and non-combat vehicles to a scale suitable for tasks being trained. The Target Systems must meet the following general requirements: * Communicate with the RCS, the Hand Held Controllers (HHC), and with the scoring system Lane Monitors (LM) in near real time * Score and time tag hits detected either through the Precision Scoring System or the standard lifter mounted hit sensor * Portray target thermal signature * Interface with One-MILES and MILES shoot back devices * Provide interface to Sound Effects Simulator (SES), and non-pyro Battle Effects Simulators (BES) * Provide GPS interface for automatic mapping by the RCS and for event trigger based on Moving target location Precision Scoring System The Precision Scoring System shall consist of a sensing system deployed at the target emplacement, and Lane Monitors deployed at shooter locations. The Precision Scoring System provides the means to accurately depict the shot location data to the shooter and the training audience in near real time. This information can be used for zeroing, grouping, and for more effective precision gunnery training. The Precision Scoring System shall meet the following requirements: * Easily attached to the associated target lifter system * Power and data must be associated with target lifter system * Not require any calibration or adjustments when deployed at the target emplacement * Report hits and misses to the RCS and to the associated Lane Monitor * Detect spatial positions for rounds * Target center shall be determined automatically when the type of target is set. * Accuracy shall be within 10mm of actual projectile location for infantry targets and within 60mm of actual projectile location for vehicle targets * Detection zone shall extend to a minimum of 1 meter in all directions beyond the actual target silhouette perimeter * System shall not require user input to achieve the required accuracy * System shall register not less than 97% of the rounds that pass through the detection zone The Lane Monitor (LM) shall meet the following requirements: * Capable of displaying shot information simply, accurately, and clearly in all possible light conditions including at night * Weight and construction shall be such that it can be deployed on a stand and be carried by one hand while operated by the other * Capable of displaying the shot results of any lane individually, multiple lanes or the entire range * Capable of controlling all the targets on the associated lane. It is desired that the LM has the capability to control the entire range. * Controls (Keypad, etc) shall be clearly labeled and suitable for operation in all Saudi Arabia climatic conditions, with gloved and ungloved hands * System shall record and display Order of Arrival of each shot on both the lane monitor and the RCS The external field cameras are deployed at the control tower and in appropriate locations on the large ranges to observe the exercise for safety and situational awareness and to record events for the AAR. The external cameras shall meet the following requirements: * Incorporate visible color and thermal capabilities * Pan/ Tilt capability * Environmentally sealed and capable of operating at -20 C to +55 C and a non - operating temperature range to +70 C * Command and control via the RCS through serial link Khashm Al-An (KAA) Ranges A. Range one (1) and three (3) are U.S. Army Automated Record Fire qualification ranges for M16 and M4 (Reference TC 25-8). * The range(s) have walk-in firing positions, supported and unsupported, cable trenching, all of which will be completed on a separate construction contract. The Contractor for this effort shall be responsible for hardwiring all range targets and hook-up to a control tower. * The Control Tower is configured to standard U.S. Army specifications. Range 1 and 3 must have a public address system. Also, provide flood lights to illuminate the sixteen firing positions, to include poles, trenching, wiring and integration into site electrical power system. B. Range 12 is used for two different weapons training: Range 12 Alpha is a Combat Pistol Qualification Course (see TC25-8); Range 12 Bravo is a P-90 Familiarization and Qualification course. * Both ranges must have standard target scoring system capability, a public address system, and flood lights in proximity of firing lines. * Range 12 B has 30 lifting mechanisms for SITs. * The Contractor shall be responsible for hardwiring all range targets and hook-up to a control tower.
