- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE. The following information is provided to assist the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAVAIR) Lakehurst, NJ, in conducting market research of industry to identify currently available options to meet USMC needs for an Aviation Ordnance Vehicle. A tow vehicle that is capable of towing 40,000 lbs is needed that can operate on semi-improved road surfaces of packed dirt, packed gravel, and also over AF2 matting. The vehicle must use a Tier III engine that is capable of using JP-5, JP-8, and DF-1 fuel. The vehicle must be able to interface the lunette of the trailers being towed and activate the hydraulic surge brake system of the trailers. Visibility of the surroundings during operation is crucial to ensure safe towing of loaded trailers and should be designed to maximize visibility. The vehicle must be able to provide 12V or 24V electrical power to the attached trailer. The vehicle would require headlights, parking lights, turn signals, and reverse lights. Towing speed of 15 miles per hour with a 11,000 lb load, 10 miles per hour with a 20,000 lb load, and 5 miles per hour with a 40,000 lb load is desired.

No air system to tow trailers utilizing an air brake system is required. An exterior finish color of semi-gloss green, FED-STD-595 color number 24052, would also be desired. Information on one or both options may be submitted. Please provide the following information about products being proposed for either option by your company: 1) Describe in general your product. 2) Discuss critical information and performance parameters associated with your product: towing capacity; drawbar pull; currently used engine tier; ground clearance; drivetrain; any reliability data; consumable products; and any other salient characteristics. 3) Describe any environmental tests that have been performed on the product being proposed.
