- Description
- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will host an online Proposers' Day webinar to provide background information and Government expectations associated with the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Component, Context, and Manufacturing Model Library 1 (C2M2L-1), which was posted as DARPA-BAA-11-47 <https://www.fbo.gov/spg/ODA/DARPA/CMO/DARPA-BAA-11-47/listing.html> on June 6, 2011. The webinar will occur as an open-invite, web-based video telecast and simultaneous internet chat session starting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, June 23, 2011. All interested parties are welcome. DARPA's Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) portfolio of programs is aimed at compressing at least five-fold the development timelines for new, complex cyber-electro-mechanical systems such as military vehicles. Under AVM, DARPA is pursuing the development of several elements of enabling infrastructure aimed at radically transforming the systems engineering/design/verification (META), manufacturing (iFAB), and innovation (vehicleforge.mil) elements of the overall "make" process for delivering new defense systems or variants. Each of these infrastructure capabilities is largely generic (i.e., applicable to any cyber-electro-mechanical system). In order to exercise these capabilities in the context of a relevant military system, DARPA intends to build FANG-the Fast, Adaptable, Next-Generation Ground Vehicle-a new heavy infantry fighting vehicle. The C2M2L-1 solicitation will be for the first round of domain-specific models needed to enable the design, verification, and fabrication of the drivetrain and mobility subsystems of the FANG vehicle using the META, iFAB, and vehicleforge.mil infrastructure. Subsequent C2M2L solicitations are expected to address the chassis and survivability subsystems and eventually all of the subsystem domains needed to construct and verify a complete infantry fighting vehicle. This Special Notice is issued solely for information and program planning purposes. Attendance at the Proposers' Day is voluntary and is not required to propose to the solicitation. DARPA will not provide reimbursement for any costs incurred to participate in this event. Participation Instructions: To facilitate participation by the broadest possible cross-section of the community in the formulation of the final C2M2L-1 solicitation, DARPA is hosting the C2M2L-1 Proposers' Day Webcast using Adobe Connect. By registering using the website described below, you will be provided with your Adobe Connect username and password as well as the URL for the Proposers' Day webcast. To join the meeting, click on the URL provided and enter your username and password. As a participant, you will have the ability to send in comments and questions via the chat feature. Chat messages will be responded to intermittently during the session. Interested parties must register to participate in the interactive webcast, join the online discussion forum/message board, or be placed on the contact info list. DARPA reserves the right to limit the number of participants per organization, but does not presently anticipate doing so. The registration website is: <https://www.schafertmd.com/conference/c2m2l/> The registration deadline is 1 p.m. EDT, Monday, June 20, 2011. For assistance with registration or other questions pertaining to the Proposers' Day, please contact: Matt Kaim matthew.kaim.ctr@darpa.mil +1-703-894-6924 The Program Manager for this effort is: Paul Eremenko DARPA/TTO paul.eremenko@darpa.mil The Deputy Program Manager for this effort is: LTC Nathan Wiedenman DARPA/TTO nathan.wiedenman@darpa.mil The Contracting Officer for this effort is: Christopher Glista DARPA/CMO christopher.glista@darpa.mil
