- Description
- USACE, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Contracting Office intends to issue a sole source award to HDT Robotics, Inc. 415 Wolfe Street Fredericksburg, VA 22401 The goals of the proposal is to develop a backhoe and bucket loader attachment for this class of robots and a semi-autonomous control interface that functions more like a video game. The backhoe/loader attachment, like the Protector itself, is modular. Each module is a four-man carry. This semi-autonomous control capability of the interface will also be used to speed up repetitive tasks. The Protector robot was developed by HDT Robotics. HDT will develop a backhoe and bucket loader attachment for this class of robots. The backhoe/loader attachment, like the Protector itself, is modular. The Protector robot was specifically designed to support dismounted infantry. It is the smallest possible robot that can run on a heavy fuel engine and carry a useful load. The ERDC, in support of the DoD emphasis on programs that facilitate the rapid insertion of innovative technologies into military systems or programs that meet critical national security needs, requires the system developed by HDT Robotics in support of the Army's TeCD 1A, Force Protection Basing. This program will feed into the Army's TeCD 1A, Force Protection- Basing which is one of the Army's top 10 focus areas for research and development and will address those critical national security needs specific to TeCD 1a objectives. The Government intends to procure from only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A). FAR part 15, negotiated procedures, will be used. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available.
