12 -- SMALL ARMS FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM SOL N00164-99-R-0143 DUE 081399 POC Mr. John Pfender, Contract Specialist, 812-854-5198, FAX 812-854-5095 (Mr. S.

E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contract Specialist via, pfender_j@crane.navy.mil. Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane) is conducting a Market Research to determine the availability of all applicable non-developmental, compact, small arms fire control systems with potential to enhance crew-served weapon effectiveness when using programmable ammunition. Systems will be required to indicate ranges to targets with an accuracy and resolution of one meter along the line of sight of the system and allow user-input windage correction. The fire control system must also incorporate a means of providing super elevation of a gun system such as a 40 mm grenade launcher. The programmable ammunition currently being developed under a separate effort uses a coded electronic signal, conveyed to the ammunition inductively, to assure that the ammunition detonates at the prescribed range. Any candidate fire control system must be capable of supplying the coded information to the ammunition after determining the range to the target. Minimum effective range of the range finding sub-system should be 4,000 meters. The system needs to be capable of acquiring vehicular targets under all lighting conditions to this range. Candidate systems may be discrete devices or integrated in configuration, be light in weight, and rugged enough to withstand shock and vibration associated with vehicular travel over rough terrain. Interested parties should submit technical information regarding their system capabilities, technical approach, or conceptual approach to NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane, who will contact all parties submitting technical descriptions packages. Any proprietary information included in the packages must be clearly marked as such. Some parties may be requested to permit the government to conduct field and laboratory assessments. The field and laboratory assessments would be conducted for approximately one month each at NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane, laboratories and at a CONUS field test location to be determined. These evaluation assessments will be conducted with systems loaned to the government at no charge and will not commit the government to any financial obligations. The closing date of this request is 12 August 1999. The submission of this information is not to be construed as a commitment by the government to pay for the information received. No solicitation document exists. Submit information to Mr. John Pfender, Code 1162NH, Bldg. 2521, NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane, 300 HWY 361, Crane, IN 47522-5001 or E-mail: pfender_j@crane.navy.mil.
