A -- SURVEY FOR FUTURE HEAVY TACTICAL VEHICLE DUE 120198 POC Nancelee Halle (810) 574-8646 or Larry DuBay (810) 574-8598 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the POC, hallen@cc.tacom.army.mil. This is not a request for proposal. This is a survey for information and planning purposes only. The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), on behalf of the U.S. Army Program Manager -- Heavy Tactical Vehicles (PM-HTV) is conducting a Technology Survey. The Technology Survey will be to ascertain what supporting technologies/subsystems will be available to support a Future Heavy Tactical Truck (FHTT). These technologies may address powertrain, vehicle structure, suspension, and crew environment/vehicle interface. We are looking for technologies which cover the spectrum from current state-of-the-art technologies to far term leap ahead technologies. Data describing the technology/subsystem should include schedule, cost, performance data, and any other product information available. Fielding date of the FHTT is projected to be 2008-2010. Preliminary requirements for the vehicle are mobility improved over the current fleet, lower weight, increased survivability, and payload capacity between 10 and 20 tons. Although the FHTT will be commercially based, it will be pushing the envelope of traditional military tactical vehicle roles and missions. Please respond by December 1, 1998. To obtain additional information, contact Nancelee Halle (810)574-5365, e-mail address: hallen@cc.tacom.army.mil, or Larry DuBay (810) 574-8598. Responding to the announcement in no way obligates the U.S. Government. Posted 09/18/98 (W-SN251557). (0261)
