- Description
- A. Description of Effort The mission of the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD) is to research, develop, and operate sensors and electron devices to ensure U.S. military superiority and to provide the U.S. Army effective intelligence and information tools, guaranteeing our soldiers' information dominance needed on today's battlefield. There are many existing Persistent Surveillance (PS) platforms and data collection efforts and programs that are in test and deployment today. Each of them has exhibited various levels of capability, and particular expertise in certain environments or modes of operation. As new technological problems are identified, an effort is needed to identify what capabilities currently exist, what lessons have been learned, and the development of a methodology to solve these technological problems. The Government has a critical mission to perform research & development, design, fabrication, assembly, test, evaluation and documentation of PS platforms; Radio Frequency and Magneto-Inductive Systems; Remotely, Acoustically, and Time-Delay Activated Systems; Gunfire and Mortar Detection Systems; Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS); Wall Breaching Systems; Shock Tube Initiating Systems; Tagging, Tracking and Locating (TTL) technologies, sensor technologies (including acoustic, seismic, optical, magnetic, and radio frequencies); variants; Pre-Planned Product Improvements; and new developmental items. The objective of this contract is to design, fabricate, assemble, test, evaluate and document these mechanical and electro-mechanical complete systems, subsystems, components and new items being developed. This contract shall also provide access to state-of-the-art technology, industry experts, and a means to rapidly design, fabricate, assemble, test, evaluate and document new equipment. This contract shall also provide a mechanism by which hardware ranging from prototypes to Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) may be procured. B. Approach The intent of this Pre-Solicitation Synopsis / Special Notice is to allow interested offerors' an opportunity to review the draft solicitation and provide feedback, comments, or questions to the technical and contracting offices prior to the release of the formal solicitation. This Pre-Solicitation Synopsis / Special Notice will also be used to develop an Interested Parties List to be used in the development of this acquisition. D.
