- Description
- HQ USSOCOM SOF AT&L PROGRAM EXECUTIVE OFFICE - FIXED WING / CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT EVENT EVENT FOCUSED ON STAND-OFF PRECISION GUIDED MUNITIONS CAPABILITIES This is a Request for Information (RFI). This announcement does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by USSOCOM to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses are strictly voluntary and USSOCOM is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. All information marked as proprietary information will be safeguarded to prevent disclosures to non-government personnel and entities. 1. TIME AND PLACE This Capability Assessment Event (CAE) will be held 24-26 April 2018 in Fort Walton Beach, FL. 2. WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH? Program Executive Office Fixed Wing (PEO-FW), in conjunction with technical experts from Government Labs, program offices, and Special Operations Forces (SOF), seeks to improve Stand-Off Precision Guided Munitions (SOPGM). The desired improvement categories are: a. Selectable warhead explosive yield* b. Selectable warhead shaping* c. Technologies enabling GPS-denied operation d. Munitions-specific data link radio with Link-16 waveform e. Low cost seekers with semi-active laser *PEO-FW is not interested in Height of Burst technologies as a selectable warhead effect. 3. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? The purpose of this CAE is to inform PEO-FW of the current state and near future of technology on these topics. The information provided might potentially support future commodity procurement (i.e., not a development program), inform future requirements for development programs, support a rapid integration/demonstration event, establish a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), support Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR), establish a Rapid Innovation Fund (RIF) project request, and/or lead to USSOCOM participation in a vendor demonstration of a capability. PEO-FW has particular interest in production ready systems (i.e., minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 as defined by the Department of Defense (DoD) Acquisition Guidebook (August 5, 2010) and a minimum Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) 7 as defined by the DoD Manufacturing Readiness Assessment Deskbook (May 2, 2009)). However, PEO-FW will also consider presentations on lower TRL and MRL capabilities. In addition, presented capabilities should require minimal-to-no hardware modifications to SOF FW aircraft and must be compatible with current SOF FW aircraft systems for any required software modifications; however, presented capabilities requiring hardware and software modifications specifically to munitions are welcomed. 4. HOW WILL THE CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT EVENT BE CONDUCTED? The CAE will have two sessions held at the UNCLASSIFIED level. Session 1. A joint Government/Industry session where the Government will discuss: a. PEO-FW overview and current capability gaps b. SOF SOPGM Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Users engagement c. Additional speakers to be determined Session 2. One-on-one meetings between the Government team members and selected individual Industry partners to discuss Industry's perspective on the benefits, opportunities, and challenges of implementing SOPGM solutions. Each one-on-one session will be approximately 45 minutes in length. 5. IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ATTENDANCE: • Vendors wishing to participate are limited to two capabilities for presentation. • Participants should complete a quad chart and a white paper -up to two pages- for each capability; a quad chart example can be found on the submission page • Participants should submit their completed quad charts/white papers to Vulcan by following the below instructions o STEP 1: Please ensure that you are using the Vulcan interface for your submittal.  • To Register, go here: https://www.vulcan-sof.com/home/request  • To Log-in with an existing account, go here: https://www.vulcan-SOF.com o STEP 2: Navigate to "Calls" on the left sidebar and select the following call from the gallery: "SOF PEO-FW - Stand Off Precision Guided Munitions Capability Assessment Event"  • Read Instructions for this call including requisite attachment and template requirements  • Navigate according to on-screen submission options  • Watch tutorial videos on the platform for additional guidance • The Government team will review the quad charts/white papers and select up to 12 attendees for the Government/Industry session and the one-on-one meetings. • SOFWERX will send invitations with additional directions to the selected participants NLT 13 April 2018.
