- Description
- On Friday, 16 NOV 2012 the Army's Force Protection Occupant Centric Platform (OCP) Technology Enabled Capabilities Demonstration (TECD) will hold an information briefing to industry from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern. Location of the information briefing will be the Detroit Arsenal, 6501 E. 11 Mile Rd, Warren MI 48397-5000 in the Auditorium, Building 200. This will be a forum to inform industry of the OCP TECD's FY12 science and technology (S&T) accomplishments with regards to technical knowledge gained, test data and results of demonstrations and evaluations for protecting soldiers in underbody blast, crash and rollover events. For those not familiar with the OCP TECD, it seeks to identify, develop, and integrate technologies that will protect occupants of ground vehicle systems from underbody threats, crashes and rollovers while maintaining or improving the mobility of the vehicle system while reducing the weight for that protection. The OCP TECD accomplishes this by addressing gaps in occupant protections standards; tools and techniques to research blast, crash and rollover mitigation capabilities; ground vehicle interior technologies for protection of occupants; and ground vehicle exterior technologies for mitigation effects of underbody last events. This allows OCP TECD to provide soldiers and ground vehicle platforms with affordable and manufacturable survivability solutions against known and anticipated threats within specified programmatic requirements. The OCP TECD Information brief will provide industry with current status of the program by briefing the accomplishments and results from the OCP TECD program. The briefing will address results achieved in the many projects that have been integrated into the OCP TECD. The areas briefed are expected to encompass the following 5 main areas; (1) standards, guidelines and procedures for occupant protection, (2) test preparation procedures for underbody blast testing, (3) interior occupant protection technologies and methodologies, (4) vehicle structures and flooring systems, and (5) underbody blast modeling and simulation tools All attendees must be U.S. Citizens. No exceptions will be made for this event. By 9 Nov 2012, attendees will need to go to the TARDEC EVENTS website at http://tardec.army.mil/events.aspx and click on the event. Then complete and send the registration information form via email to usarmy.detroit.rdecom.mbx.tardec-gss-industry-day@mail.mil Each organization, defined as Industry Business Unit or Institute for Higher Learning, can send up to 2 attendees with registration on a first come first serve basis to a maximum of 250 individuals.
