Upon completion of these changes the final RFP will be released. The LNBCRS is a vehicle-based reconnaissance system which must be capable of NBC hazard detection and identification, ground surface sampling, meteorological data collection, multimedia communications, hazard warning, reporting, and marking, and navigation using hand-held and vehicle mounted Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

The Base Vehicles will be Government furnished Light Armored Vehicles (LAVs) and High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), whereas the Equipment Suite will be comprised of both Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and contractor furnished equipment required to meet the functional requirements. The Government's requirement is broken out into a base year with and four (4) option years (to include options in the base year). The base year requirement is only for Program Management, Configuration Management, and Integrated Support Plans, and other data. Additional data, test support, training, and engineering studies may be procured in the option years, with actual LNBCRS System deliveries listed for option years two (2) and three (3). The design and development effort included in this requirement will involve a broad spectrum of integration design tasks, to include those having to do with software.
