- Description
- N00014-19-S-B002 The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals addressing the design, fabrication, test, and demonstration of technology demonstrators for the Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV). It is desired that a future ARV will be capable of fighting for information in an increasingly complex and contested environment and able to counter threats with greater reach and lethality. This effort will run from Q2 FY19 through Q2 FY21 with follow-on options. The focus of this effort is to design, fabricate, test, and demonstrate full scale advanced technology demonstrators and to provide blast/ballistic hulls.The platforms and blast/ballistic hulls will be used to demonstrate the state of the art and to assess the potential capability and performance of advanced technologies and future concepts. The goal is to demonstrate the realm of the possible to inform the requirements development process and to engage Industry and Academia early in the process. The ARV program is primarily researching a base capability for a notional ARV and it is not the intent to research all possible capabilities or variants that will be resident in a full family of vehicles that will be part of the eventual acquisition program. Applicants may elect to propose to either the 'Base Variant," "At the Edge," or both demonstrators. Separate standalone proposals are required for each demonstrator if proposing to more than one. The technology demonstrators will be evaluated to aid in the refinement of future program requirements. Both platforms must be operational systems capable of being driven over terrain of various roughness to collect mobility data, determine reconnaissance and sensing capabilities, determine unmanned systems integration and operation, evaluate platform lethality, determine platform survivability characteristics, and evaluate overall performance. Technology demonstrators shall be designed to the maximum extent practical with a modular open systems architecture approach to enable future development, innovation, and interoperability. Technology demonstrators shall be designed with a vision of potential future integration of third party hardware and software and shall be designed to allow third party repair to the greatest extent possible. Offerors will need to provide appropriate support personnel and material to support government test and demonstration events for a duration of 6 months. a. "Base Variant" Technology Demonstrator Design and Fabrication •1. An integrated set of advanced technologies and capabilities to push the state of the art as far as possible given certain timeframes and price points. •2. For the purposes of this S&T effort only, assume a notional Average Manufacturing Unit Cost (AMUC) of $6.0M per platform for 500 units with a projected Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in 2027. •3. Technology Readiness Level of 6 (TRL 6), which is subsystem/system demonstration in a relevant environment, is expected by the end of the effort. •4. Provide a fully operable demonstrator vehicle. •5. Provide a complete data package to include, but not limited to: modeling and simulation data, interface control documents, and data rights. •6. Provide two blast/ballistic hulls for survivability test and evaluation b. "At the Edge" Revolutionary Technology Demonstrator Design and Fabrication •1. An integrated set of advanced next-generation technologies to push the upper limits of capability and performance as far as possible. •2. There are no constraints on unit cost for this platform and there is no defined IOC. This effort will inform future technology insertions and upgrades. •3. Technology Readiness Level of 6 is expected by the end of the effort. •4. Provide a fully operable demonstrator vehicle. •5. Provide a complete data package to include, but not limited to: modeling and simulation data, interface control documents, and data rights. •6. Provide two blast/ballistic hulls for survivability test and evaluation
