STRIKER Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) program is a continuation of the Bradley Fire Support Team (BFIST) Program designed specifically for the Combat Observation Lasing Team (COLT) in the heavy and light divisions. The STRICKER Program integrates the BFIST Mission Equipment Package (MEP) into HMMWV chassis supporting heavy and light force fire support operations. The system consists of a modular design with an open architecture, high performance computing system that interconnects the individual modules (i.e. communications, targeting, laser designator, and navigation) and controls their functionalities under the supervision of an operator. The EMD phase will include delivery of two systems for contract and government-directed testing and test support. The acquisition will be negotiated on a sole-source basis with Systems and Electronics Inc. (SEI) of St. Louis, MO pursuant to FAR 6.302-1. See numbered notes 22 and 26. (0143)
