ADVANCED PLANNING BRIEF TO INDUSTRY (APBI) The Program Manager Night Vision/Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (PM NV/RSTA) will host an APBI to discuss the market investigation results for a meteorological profiler system. This meeting will be held on May 8, 1997, at the CECOm Research, Development and Engineering Center, Building 319 (Motion Picture Lab), Ft. Belvoir, VA, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. A copy of the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) is available upon request via e-mail for review. Request that all participants obtain a copy of the ORD, and become familiar with the requirements in advance of the meeting. This notice is not a request for bids or proposals and does not indicate that the Army has funds for purchase of said equipment. The Profiler will be an upgrade to the Meteorological Measuring System (MMS) AN/TMQ-41. The MMS measures atmospheric parameters of temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind velocity for artillery fire correction. The current system uses rawinsonde techniques to obtain the data. The Profiler will either supplement or replace this with other sensing equipment, such as wind profiler radar and satellite technology. It is the Government's intention to brief the program requirements, followed by a question and answer period. Upon request, we will schedule one-on-one conferences with industry participants to discuss possible materiel approaches. In order to reduce the system development time, and leverage existing technology to the greatest extent possible, we are encouraging innovative ideas with emphasis on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and non-developmental item (NDI) solutions. At this meeting, concept discussions, NOT TECHNICAL PROPOSALS, are appreciated. Interested contractors must provide visit requests to the following: Primary: FAX (703)704-1098 (confirm receipt with Leslie Fleming (703)704-1133; and provide a copy to CPT(P) Kel Wood, FAX (703)704-3449).
