- Description
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The U.S. Army Product Manager for Counter Explosive Hazards (PM-CEH) is seeking a qualified source to provide GEN IIE Husky Mounted Detection Systems (HMDS) and spare parts in support of overseas contingency operations and efforts associated with follow-on program phases. The HMDS is a counter-Improvised Explosive Device (IED)/counter-mine system with the capability to detect underbelly IEDs, pressure plates used to detonate IEDs, and antitank (AT) landmines which are buried in primary and secondary roads. The HMDS provides a critically required advanced high-performance ground penetrating radar (GPR) which is capable of detecting buried non-metallic and metal-cased threats, including IEDs that are constructed of bulk explosives and low-metal pressure plates. Additionally, it provides precise marking of the locations of the buried IED and AT landmine threats. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Information is sought for companies having technology, qualifications and capabilities to field a ground vehicle mounted, high performance ground penetrating radar (GPR) to detect buried in-road (under-belly attack) IEDs and AT landmines. Maturity for this market research is defined as a minimum GPR technology readiness level (TRL) of 8 in an operational environment. The GPR must be capable of using algorithms for automatic target detection in real time to permit physical marking of the road surface above a target before the host vehicle is past the target. The system should be able to achieve the following Performance Objectives: detection of IED's and AT mines on primary and secondary roads with a high probability of detection ( greater than or equal to 0.90), and a low false alarm rate (less than or equal to 0.001 per square meter), with detection speeds greater than 5 kilometers per hour; and the following Technical Objectives: (a) Integration of an existing or modified detection system with a selected military vehicle to include an interface to be operated by an on-board soldier (b) Limited contractor performance and environmental testing of the detection system to verify satisfaction of the performance objectives; and (c) Support of limited testing by soldiers to verify suitability for production and deployment. SPARE PARTS: The U.S. Army PM-CEH is seeking a qualified source to provide GEN IIE HMDS spare parts in support of overseas contingency operations and efforts associated with follow-on program phases. The HMDS spare parts sought include parts required to maintain the HMDS at all levels of repair including forward depot and depot repair. Pack, wrap, ship and marking services will be provided by the Contractor for all spares. All responsible sources capable of providing GEN IIE HMDS systems and spare parts are requested to submit a White Paper describing the Contractor's experience in providing these systems and spare parts in support of wartime and organizational capabilities. Respondents are asked to limit their submission to no more than 15 pages. This notice is not a Request for Proposal and the Government does not intend to pay for information submitted.
