69 -- SMOKE GENERATOR FOR TRAINING ENVIRONMENT Due 043095. Contact, Gregory Cordes, 702/361-7106. SEEKING POTENTIAL SOURCES FOR A MOBILE SMOKE GENERATING SYSTEM FOR AN ARMY TRAINING ENVIRONMENT, POC Gregory J. Cordes, Buyer, Hughes Technical Services Company under Contract N61339-94-C0027; Combat Training Center Instrumentation Systems. Hughes Technical Services is seeking potential sources for a system to replace the U.S. Army M157 Smoke Generator currently in use in a training environment. The M157 (NSN 1040-01-293-5496) is a mobile system attached to an U.S. Army Humvee vehicle that produces Visual and Near Infrared smoke using smoke generator fog oil number 2 (SGF2) with an on-board duration of 48-96 minutes. The training application to which a smoke generator is being contemplated requires generation of smoke equivalent to that generated by a 155mm artillery shell exploded as an air burst. Minimum requirements for this capability include a mobile system that can travel at slow speeds over rough terrain (Max. 10 degree slope.) and will generate smoke continuously over a 1 hour period of time. Fuel must be of a type that is environmentally safe in case of spillage/leakage and is a minimal fire hazard. The system must have minimum maintenance capabilities (Compartmentalized module change out for field repair.) Desired capabilities include the ability to change the color and type of smoke with minimum effort while deployed on the training battlefield. Standard commercial equipment is desired and multiple alternatives will be encouraged. This announcement does not guarantee that a Request for Proposal will be issued to purchase this system. Potential offers should submit technical data (brochures, literature, specifications, et) sufficient enough to enable Hughes Technical Services CO and the Government to fully evaluate the product and technology involved. All correspondence should be mailed to Hughes Technical Services Company, CTC Program Office, Attn: Gregory J. Cordes, 901A Grier Dr, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119 by 30 April 1995. Any technical questions may be addressed to Mr. Larry Ellis, (702) 361-7119. (087)
