- Description
- Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Software Development and Integration Project Manager Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is seeking information from industry professionals regarding Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Software Development and Integration. 1.0 Description The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) provides combat Situational Awareness (SA) capability so that Soldiers/Marines can Fight, Rehearse, and Train on the same system. IVAS includes the Heads-up Display (HUD) with on-body computer as the base system along with supportive Soldier power equipment, IVAS network components, Squad Performance Model, Adaptive Squad Architecture, and SiVT components. HUD is a low profile, see through display system providing 24/7 advanced SA in all operating environments, fused day/night vision capabilities, day/night rapid target acquisition, and eye protection. IVAS provides movement of information, high level processing, and displays augmented reality information (Blue force tracking, Navigation, etc.) intuitively in three-dimensional space from mission planning data and real-time data including shared coordinate terrain data and machine learning/artificial intelligence processing enabled by tactical cloud package, shared information for mounted soldiers, ""See Thru"" armor, and advanced network services. IVAS uses data driven analytics to provide tactical leaders with metrics and indicators to optimize unit performance and enhance lethality. Integration through Government owned architecture enables rapid introduction of new and improved capabilities. 2.0 General Requirement 2.1 This Request for Information (RFI) is: Seeking information from industry professionals to determine their capabilities to develop and integrate Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) software solutions into Government designated Army vision systems. Being issued solely for information and planning purposes. Various concepts may be examined based upon input provided. 2.1.2 This RFI does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. A solicitation is not available at this time. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response; unsolicited proposal responses to this request will not be considered as offers.
