- Description
- The Government is requesting information from prospective offerors on the Air Force Medium-Sized Robot (AFMSR). The requirement is for AFMSR-configured robots (20 each) and Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) radios (100 each) for the F6A robots rounds out identified AF EOD total fleet requirements and ensures a continued capability to meet worldwide C-IED and force protection mission requirements without the risk of mission degradation due to non-standard fleet configuration. Offeror must meet commonality, interoperability, and modularity between current fielded platforms to ensure training and operational capability is not degraded. AF EOD currently has approximately 148 AFMSR robots fielded at worldwide locations. The modular software and hardware components in the fielded AFMSR and F6A robots ensures commonality and interoperability between the platforms. This common modularity thread imbedded in the family of robots reduces overall life cycle costs across the AF-wide robotic fleet (includes Active Duty AF and AF Reserves (AFRES)). Addition of like configured AFMSR robots and COFDM radios for the F6A robots ensures our EOD personnel and deployed units retain the capability to swap common components between robots (e.g., operator control station, COFDM radios, and common suite of specialized EOD tools/attachments, etc.,). THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND IS FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, QUOTATION OR BID. NO SOLICITATION IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.
