B -- LIGHT HYBRID ASSUALT CANNON LETHALITY CONCEPT EVOLUTION SOL DAAE30-99-Q-0205 DUE 031699 POC ANTHONY C. KENDRELL CONTRACT SPECIALIST (973) 724-6542 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/RFP/99Q0205/99Q0205.htm. E-MAIL: ANTHONY C. KENDRELL, KENDRELL@PICA.ARMY.MIL. The U.S. Army Tank Automative and Armaments Command, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (TACOM-ARDEC) will be issuing a solicitation for light vehicle lethality concept development on or about March 16, 1999. The primary purpose of this effort is to establish a hybrid cannon lethality based concept solutions/analysis to support the U.S. Army's vision of lethal, more deployable (i.e. C-130 aircraft transportable) combat vehicles for near-term (2005) fielding and their evolution into solutions for a Future Combat Vehicle variants fieldable in 2010-2015. The effort will demonstrate through, concept development and analysis, the feasibility of obtaining a robust multi-role, multi-mission defeat capability, in both line- of-sight and non line-of-sight, against advanced heavy armored threats protected with explosive reactive armor, light armored vehicles, buildings, bunkers, personnel, etc. Interested sources will be required to submit a White Paper proposal response to the solicitation. Interested sources must demonstrate experience in lethality concept development and clearly depict an evolutionary approach from near-term lethality system solutions to 2010 fieldable soluctions through advancements in technology. This will be a full and open competitive action. The solicitation will be available from the following web address: http://procnet.pica.army.mil/procacts/ on or about March 16, 1999.
