- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC-NJ), on behalf of The US Army Program Manager � Self Propelled Howitzer System (PM-SPHS), is seeking Rearview Camera Sensor Systems in support of Armor Fighting Vehicles (AFVs).� This system shall have the ability to integrate into the Self Propelled Howitzer System (SPHS). �PM-SPHS has a need to assist the crew on the M109A7 Self Propelled Howitzer (SPH) to be able to have situational awareness to the Chief of Section�s station when the crew has been �buttoned up� (windows, doors and hatch closed) while turning the SPH. In conjunction with this, it would help the crew to clear the rear of the vehicle when conducting pivot steer during a mission.� It would help address a potential safety issue in situations of lower visibility.� Also, this technology would reduce risk of the enemy sneaking up on the vehicle and entering. The Government intends to solicit proposed solutions to address the Rearview Camera Sensor Systems in support of AFVs requirement by issuing a Request for White Paper (RWP) and Statement of Need (SON) under Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) W15QKN-17-9-5555 with the Consortium for Command, Control, and Communications in Cyberspace (C5). The Government will evaluate the White Papers submitted in response to the RWP with the intention of awarding up to (2) Two prototype project to demonstrate the selected solution�s military feasibility with respect to potential implementation and eventual fielding to theater.� The Government anticipates issuing the RWP and SON for this effort to the C5 on or before 13 April 2020. The objective of this prototype project will be to identify and demonstrate the ability to integrate into the SPHS. PM-SPHS has identified a capability gap and is looking for rearview cameras/sensors to enable the Chief of Section (CoS) station to have situational awareness when the crew is �buttoned up� (windows, doors, and hatch closed).� The camera would assist the crew in clearing the rear of the M109A7 vehicle when conducting pivot steer during a mission The Rearview Camera Sensor Systems must meet the following requirements: Based on vehicle restrictions the Camera Sensor System shall include the capability to occupy a space claim of approximately 14� wide, 7� tall, and 16� deep (aft of vehicle) if using 2 cameras co-located in a dual space claim option or 7� wide, 3.5� tall and 8� deep if using 2 cameras located separately to achieve desired fields of vision as listed below. The camera shall be all weather and be able to sustain the shock and vibe requirements from MIL-STD-810 Tracked Vehicle Vibrations for military vehicles. Limited night vision at short distances is desired, but not required. Desired field of vision for the camera(s) is 120 degrees horizontally; 40 degrees vertically at a distance range between 1.2 meters and 20 meters. Objective field of vision for the camera(s) is 180 degrees horizontally; 55 degrees vertically at a distance range 150 � 200 meter distance from the back of the vehicle. Element 1: DESIGN DATA SUBMISSION Element 2: Prototype submittals Element 3: Product operational Test/DEMO Ultimately, it is envisioned the prototype effort will be a Proof of Principle/Feasibility Prototype.� The effort will consist of conducting testing to verify that the back-up camera and other specific components integrate properly into the configuration of the weapon system, and that they directly enhance DOD military utility.� In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2371b(f), and upon a determination that the prototype project for this transaction has been successfully completed, this competitively awarded prototype OTA may result in the award of a follow-on production contract or transaction without the use of competitive procedures.� The success metrics will be defined in the eventual Statement of Work (SOW) and the potential magnitude of production will be up to 2,000 additional systems, but is subject to change pending directed requirements from the ARMY. The purpose of this Special Notice is for planning purposes only and to provide Industry with advance notification of the Army's intentions.� This Special Notice is neither a Request for Proposals (RFP) nor a Request for Quote (RFQ). A prototype project award will not be made as a result of this announcement. Any costs associated with efforts undertaken by any contractor with respect to this Special Notice shall not be reimbursed by the Government under any circumstances. NOTE: Formalized membership in the C5 will be required to respond to the requirement. Information regarding membership can be found at https://cmgcorp.org/ Primary POC is Mark Zator, Agreements Officer (AO); mark.zator.civ@mail.mil Secondary POC is Chris Ciupinski, Project Team lead/Acquisition Manager - Christopher.c.ciupinski.civ@mail.mil
