RAMS is a small, lightweight, man-portable wireless initiation system capable of initiating demolition items and munitions in all geographical areas, weather conditions, and hostile battlefield conditions which may include smoke, dust and Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) attack. 3. Respondents to this market survey should provide information as to whether their shock tube initiation device meets the follow requirements and capabilities. The shock tube initiation device shall have a system reliability requirement of 90% (90% confidence) or higher. The shock tube initiation device shall interface with the RAMS Receiver (electric output) and all U.S. Military shock tube (Army and Navy) with an in-line primer to allow initiation of the in-line shock tube. The shock tube initiation device shall have no internal or stored energy (including spring energy) and shall receive all required energy to operate from the RAMS receiver. The shock tube initiation device shall have a manually operated redundant mechanical safety between the firing pin and the in-line-initiator. The shock tube initiation device shall be durable, reusable and act as its own trainers. The shock tube initiation device shall not weigh more than 1.25 lbs and shall fit into the cargo pocket of the Army Combat Uniform trouser, not exceeding 5.5 inches in any one dimension or have volume greater than 31 cubic inches.
