- The following announcement is provided to notify interested parties regarding a change to the solicitation number associated with the Battlefield Effects Simulator (BES) II program. The previous solicitation number (W900KK-11-R-0008) has been changed to the current number (W900KK-12-R-0004), effective immediately. This update is consistent with the notifications regarding this opportunity which have been posted under the Draft Solicitation notifications, last updated on 24 January 2012. If interested parties have signed up for subcontracting opportunities and / or automatic notifications under the previous solicitation number, the process must be repeated utilizing the new solicitation number. When searching for future amendments, notices and other related documentation, interested parties should search under W900KK-12-R-0004 or BES. POC: Marie Bittikofer, 407-208-5086, marie.bittikofer@us.army.mil Program Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE), in support of the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), intends to issue a solicitation to procure the Force-On-Target (FOT) Battlefield Effects Simulator (BES) II system with associated equipment, initial spares, New Equipment Training (NET), and installation support for the following range systems: Remote Target System/Enhanced Remote Target System RETS/ERETS, New Generation Army Targetry System (NGATS), Future Army Systems of Integrated Targets (FASIT), Non-Instrumented (Small Arms), and Instrumented Ranges (Digital Range Training System (DRTS).

The FOT system will be used in day and night range exercises for visual and acoustic target recognition at stationary range positions with a target mechanism (lifter) or mounted on a moving target platform. The system is to be designed to produce a flash/bang and smoke signature which simulates/replicates a large caliber weapon fire of a hostile threat and/or an impact round on an armor target. The FOT device shall ensure the incorporation of the M34 (LA54) (Hostile Fire) Cartridges and M35 (LA53) (Target Hit) Cartridges.
