It is the intent of the CECOM Acquisition Center-Washington to issue an RFP for integration of government-and-contractor furnished components, assemblies and subsystems into a Mine Hunter/Killer system for demonstration in an Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD). The Mine Hunter/Killer system shall be highly capable of detecting and neutralizing individual anti-tank mines while protecting the crew via teleoperation. The system must also be safe and lead to a supportable and affordable design in future program phases. The system integration contractor will be required to design the semi-autonomous neutralizer delivery mechanism, system control computer, power distribution, crew workstations in the control vehicle, and interfaces with government-furnished equipment (i.e., detectors, neutralizers, host (HMMWV) and control (M113 APC) vehicles, and teleoperation kits). In addition, the contractor will be required to provide support of the deliverables at the ATD. A draft RFP was issued in October of 1997. However, due to program changes, there were no formal replies to contractor comments. The upcoming RFP, number DAAB07-98-R-6002, will only be available on the CECOM Acquisition Center's Business Opportunities Page. NO HARD COPIES WILL BE PROVIDED. The RFP should be available on or about 17 June 1998 for downloading from the website, located at http://acbop.monmouth.army.mil. Electronic proposals will be due 31 July 1998. There will be a pre-proposal conference at FT Belvoir, Virginia within 10 days after the RFP is issued. The details for the pre-proposal conference, including date, time and location, will be included in the RFP. (0139)
