All interested sources are encouraged to submit company and product literature, white paper, and/or other pertinent information for the Government's consideration. The AAV-7A1 is the current amphibious troop transport of the United States Marine Corps. It is used by USMC Assault Amphibian Battalions to land the surface assault elements of the landing force and their equipment in a single lift from assault shipping during amphibious operations to inland objectives and to conduct mechanized operations and related combat support in subsequent mechanized operations ashore. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is seeking sources of weapons/sensor systems/ammunition which may be used to enhance the UGWS platform in a near-term timeframe or outside of this configuration for mid and long term future applications. Both individual and fully integrated weapon/sensor suites will be considered. At a minimum, respondents should include technical information sufficient to conduct parametric evaluations and quantify design parameters for enhanced weapons, sensor systems, and ammunition technologies; and their sources currently in production, or within 3, 5, or 10 years of fielding. Relevant information may include but is not limited to: weapon/ammunition type, size, material, thermal characteristics, rate of fire, overall system accuracy and precision, field of vision, range of vision, system weight, power consumption, etc. All interested sources are encouraged to respond by providing the Government the following information; technical/contractual points of contact, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address, duns number, cage code and or tax ID number, as well as size category (large, small, small disadvantaged, etc.) a brief summary of the company's capabilities, description of facilities, personnel, and related manufacturing experience.
