- Description
- Purpose:� The Army Contracting Command New Jersey (ACC-NJ), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ �07806-5000 is conducting a Market Survey on behalf of the Joint Program Manager Office Towed Artillery Systems (PM-TAS) to explore enabling technologies for an extended range 155mm Mobile Howitzer system that utilizes a soft recoil system.� Description: This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information and planning purposes, as a means for the Government to conduct market research, identifying interested parties and their capability to support the Government�s interest in artillery cannon extended range technologies.� This Request for Information is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or an obligation on the part of PM-TAS. The Government is interested in exploring cannon designs and associated cannon sealing/primer/propellant for a high impulse, single zone system with a highly reliable ignition train. The Government is open to exploring cannon/ammunition interfaces as defined below as well as non-traditional cannon/ammunition interface designs: 1)� Charge and primer loaded separately from projectile, cannon sealed with DeBange type obturator. 2)� Cartridge case with integrated primer and propellant charge loaded separately from projectile. 3)� Cartridge case with integrated primer and propellant charge fixed to projectile, loaded as one piece. The Government is interested in the following high level physical/performance characteristics for the presented concepts.� 1)� Cannon caliber length, and rifling twist 2)� Estimated weight of cannon assembly. 3)� Estimated reliability of ignition train (From FIRE command to full propellant ignition) 4)� Method of ignition of firing train (i.e. percussion, electric, other) 5)� Maximum estimated acceleration at back of 104 lb 155mm projectile 6)� Estimated muzzle velocity for a 104 lb 155mm projectile. 7)� Weight(s) and type(s) of propellant used in charge system(s) All interested vendors are encouraged to provide: A description (to include characteristics above) of your proposed system, its development history, and the tested parameters of the system 2)�������� Rough Order Magnitude Cost of system identified 3)�������� Rough Order Magnitude Schedule of system identified 4)�������� Notional Developmental Risk/Product Maturity of system identified 5)�������� Life Cycle Status (i.e. Conceptual, Prototype, In-Service); If In-service, list customers utilizing system � Firms/companies are invited to indicate their capabilities by providing specifications, brochures, manuals, reports, demonstration videos and/or other technical data, as well as identification of current customers.� This Market Survey is a Request for Information (RFI) ONLY and should NOT be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a commitment by the United States Government.� The Government recognizes that proprietary and/or classified data may be a part of this effort.� If so, clearly mark such restricted/proprietary and classified data and present them as an addendum to the nonrestricted/non-proprietary and unclassified information.
