- Description
- The U.S. Army, Combat Capabilities Development Command- Armaments Center (DEVCOM-AC) at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 is conducting a market survey / sources sought notice for an externally powered weapon that can be integrated into a future uncrewed armament system (integrating the weapon, sensors, and Fire Control) for crewed or uncrewed platforms. The current state of the art utilizes (typically) self-powered weapons that were originally intended for manned use. These systems provide no user feedback as to the state of the weapon nor means to remotely remediate any operational malfunctions. The government is seeking a self-contained, packaged weapon solution that provides feedback to the armament system, minimizes stoppages requiring Soldier intervention, and efficiently consumes power. � � The weapon will be able to or allow for modifications that will provide the ability to notify the user of weapon status, malfunctions/stoppages and also provide limited remote mediation capability to clear many common stoppages without human involvement (i.e. an �intelligent system�). There will be no human-detectable operational and performance impacts when operated in a wireless environment. The weapon system must be able to affect personnel, trucks, and lightly armored vehicles at a minimum of 1000 meters. The weapon system weight should be less than 200 lbs and the recoil less than 2000 lbF. �Finally, responses should identify current common stoppages pertaining to the proposed electrically operated weapon and any planned mitigations for the future.� SUBMISSION INFORMATION: Interested companies who believe they are capable of providing a Remotely Actuated Externally Powered Weapon that meet the above goals are invited to indicate their interest by providing the Government a brief summary (i.e. no more than 10 pages -- not counting prior contract history) of their company�s specific solutions and any supporting analysis or test results that show the ability to meet the above goals. �Companies are invited to indicate their capabilities by providing specifications, brochures, manuals, reports, demonstration video and other technical data, as well as identification of current customers.� Vendor Questionnaire: The purpose of this questionnaire is to obtain information from industry to assist in the market research. Companies are invited to indicate their interest and capability to satisfy the above requirements by identifying the following items: 1. � �Company Name 2. � �Company Address 3. � �Company Website 4. � �CAGE code and DUNS Number 5. � �Company point of contact and phone number 6. � �Major partners or Suppliers � 8. � �Type of Business (Small Business, Large Business, 8a Small Business, Hub zone Small Business, or Service Disabled Veteran Small Business) and Number of Employees. 9. � �Commerciality:� (a) ( � ) Our product as described above, has been sold, leased or licensed to the general public.
