Description

DESC: The United States Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command-Warren (TACOM-Warren) will be issuing a sole source Request for Proposal (RFP) to Chang Industry Inc. to further investigate develop, downsize and test the Close-In Radial Coverage Sensors (CIRCS) part of the improved Radial Shaped Charged (RSC) Active Protection Counter Measure (AP-CM) device designs they are currently modifying, testing and evaluating. This acquisition will include devising, assembling and testing improved radial coverage surface mounted antennas, sensor transmitter and receiver components, front-end signal conditioning electronics and digital signal processor hardware and software. The effectiveness of these enhanced CIRCS linked with RSC designs will be tested against tank fired kinetic energy (KE) and chemical energy (CE) rounds as well as ATGM and RPG anti-tank projectiles. The tests against flying projectiles will use a highly instrumented test range to document the projectiles residual flights and lethality after being subjected to the effects of the CIRCS enhanced RSC AP-CM designs. This requirement will be acquired as a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) modification to Contract DAAE07-99-C-L062 with Chang Industry Inc., LaVerne, CA. The period of performance for this effort shall be fifteen (15) months from date of award. This requirement will be solicited by letter. Issuance of a formal solicitation is not anticipated.
