- Description
- Agency/Office: Army Contracting Command � Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) Title: Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) Remote Control System (RCS) � Industry Day Audience: Industry Representatives and Department of Defense (DoD) Civilians When: 21 September 2021 Where: Virtual System Overview: The ABV RCS will add tele-operational control of the ABV, a fielded US Army system.� The ABV is a heavy, tracked engineering asset capable of breaching minefields and complex obstacles to enable passage of the Army�s maneuver element through the breach.� The ABV RCS will be a multivehicle system composed of an Operator Control Unit (OCU) installed in the command and control Bradley A3 Fighting Vehicle with OCU A-kit (brackets, cables, and other integration equipment). �The ABV integration kit will be composed of several components, allowing remotely controlled mechanical movement and communication between the ABV and control vehicle. �The ABV operates in pairs: one (1) equipped with a Full Width Mine Plow and one (1) equipped with a Combat Dozer Blade.� The purpose of the RCS is to offset soldiers from the dangerous breach activity completed by the ABV.� The RCS provides the option for either manned or unmanned operations.� When in operation, the RCS will have the capability to tele-operate the ABV in day and night, including all automotive functions, the Full Width Mine Plow and Combat Dozer Blade front end attachments, the Lane Marking System, the Linear Demolition Charge System, and self-obscuration system.� To enable the RCS, the ABV operators move from the ABV to a Bradley Fighting Vehicle - the command and control vehicle � by dismounting and operating from inside the Bradley.� The control interfaces to the aforementioned functions and various subsystems will not be provided to the contractor as Government Furnished Information.� The contractor will be responsible for developing the RCS interfaces as required by design.� Feedback from industry is welcomed on the viability of developing the RCS without interface data along with product development timelines, which the Army can leverage and gain mutual benefit. The purpose of this announcement is to provide industry advanced notification of the Government�s intent to host a Virtual Industry Day on 21 September 2021.� The intent of the Virtual Industry Day is to provide an overview of the ABV RCS requirement, and provide industry a high level overview of the upcoming Request for Prototype Proposal (RFPP).� While anyone is able to participate in the Industry Day, membership in the Defense Automotive Technologies Consortium (DATC) is required to participate in the solicitation.� Industry Day registration site: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/industry-day-assault-breacher-vehicle-abv-remote-control-system-rcs-tickets-165806887865
