- Description
- 2016 United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS) five minute solution sessions. A. INTRODUCTION: This notice is NOT a Broad Agency Announcement, solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. USSOCOM will host 2016 USSOCOM TALOS technology solution sessions during the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) in order to rapidly assess and provide feedback regarding the potential for the demonstrated technologies as they relate to the technical challenges of TALOS. TALOS is a USSOCOM Science and Technology (S&T) thrust to advance the state of the art in warfighter protection and augmentation. The primary objective of these sessions is to identify new technologies applicable to the TALOS technical challenges. The May 2016 USSOCOM TALOS technology solution sessions will be unclassified. B. EVENT SPECIFIC INFORMATION: Vendors will present technical solutions to panels of SOF operators and subject matter experts. The vendor's presentation should be no longer than five minutes in length; presentations can include, but are not limited to, visual presentations, technology demonstrations or videos. The panel will ask questions and provide unclassified feedback on the presented technology addressing the tactical relevance and applicability to TALOS. The sessions will be conducted in an open forum with the limited opportunity for the SOFIC attendees in the audience to provide comments on the technology solution. Technology solutions should address the following areas: 1. Man portable power supply 2. Biomechanical modeling and simulations 3. Flexible, rifle-protection armor solutions 4. Narrow wavelength near-eye projection display systems 5. Wired/Wireless/Wired real-time data & low-rate video transitions for cable snag recovery 6. See-through day Heads Up Display (HUD) capabilities 7. High-rate camera video through asynchronous Read Out Integrated Circuit (ROIC) response C. PRESENTATIONS: All applicant presentations may not be selected to attend based on the following criteria: • Limited capacity and session time • Maturity level of proposed technologies • Relevance of technology to the TALOS system • Presentation of a technology solution at a previous TALOS event D. ATTENDEES: Presentation team must include a highly qualified engineer, scientist, designer, or technician. The following documents shall be submitted for consideration via email to TALOS@socom.mil: • Power point quad chart of the technology solutions • Presenter Résumé or curriculum vitae • Once your registration has been submitted, those officially selected to attend will receive a confirmation via email on or before 1630, 29 April 2016. Non-Government participants who fail to provide documentation by closing on 22 April 2016 will be disqualified from registration. Registration and receipt of documentation will officially close 1800 hours EDT on 22 April 2016. Attendees are responsible to coordinate their lodging and transportation requirements. Attendees must coordinate SOFIC attendance. Additional administrative requirements and other event details shall be disseminated, to all those confirmed to attend, via e-mail no later than 29 April 2016. If notified that they have been selected to present, attendees must send their final presentations, or detailed explanations of their demonstrations, to TALOS@socom.mil no later than 18 May 2016. E. All participants shall assume that IP they release during their session is in the "public domain." The Government will make all efforts to ensure Government personnel do not misuse Intellectual Property (IP) that is clearly and appropriately marked in writing. F. Per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.215-3 Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes (Oct 1997): The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice. All participation and responses associated with this collaboration event will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal from the participants, but may be provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI) in subsequent acquisition efforts. As such, participation in this event may subject participants to Organizational Conflicts of Interests (OCI) in future TALOS efforts. Participants should consider OCI mitigation plans for such future efforts pursuant to FAR subpart 9.5. Questions: Please email the USSOCOM TALOS Team at: TALOS@socom.mil ------------
