- Draft Agenda of Industry Day Special Notice Warrior Injury Assessment Manikin (WIAMan) Program Title: Warrior Injury Assessment Manikin (WIAMan) System. To Interested Sources The Government will host an Industry Day on Monday, 13 June 2016, from 1:00pm to 5:30pm EST at PEO STRI, Partnership II Building, Room 208, 3200 Technology Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32826. The Industry Day will be opened to all interested parties. The intent of this industry day is to provide all available information to industry regarding the WIAMan project. Please see attached draft agenda; a final agenda will be provided in the form of an amendment to this special notice. The Government will not hold one-on-one meetings with vendors at this time and does not anticipate having video or conference lines available for Industry Day. Synopsis: The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) Joint Program Management Office for Medical Modeling and Simulation (JPMO-MMS) will provide information to industry on planning and analysis for the potential acquisition of the WIAMan system. The WIAMan system will provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with a scientifically valid capability to assess the probability that a Soldier will sustain a skeletal injury when seated in a vehicle that experiences the rapid, vertical acceleration caused by an under-body blast (UBB) attack. The system will be comprised of an anthropomorphic test device (ATD) with integrated sensors and data acquisition, improved biofidelity and injury criteria, certification equipment and procedures, calibration equipment and procedures, and sustainment for an anticipated life of more than 15 years. The Government is currently conducting a Science and Technology (S&T) effort to develop and demonstrate elements of the WIAMan system at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 in FY18. This work includes the creation of biofidelity response corridors, human injury probability curves, and the fabrication, test, and evaluation of both a technology demonstrator ATD and a first generation, prototype instrumented ATD. Through market research activities, the Government intends to understand current state-of-the-art capabilities and future directions in all the areas enumerated above to determine the best approach for acquiring the envisioned WIAMan system capability. Background One of the missions of the DoD Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) program is to test and evaluate the survivability of Soldier equipment when it is used in the anticipated threat environment. The LFT&E community has a requirement for a capability for assessing the probability that a mounted Soldier will experience a skeletal injury when subjected to the severe vertical accelerative loads that are caused by UBB. Currently these assessments are being made using the Hybrid III crash test dummy, or ATD, in crew positions of vehicles undergoing UBB testing. The Hybrid III ATD and associated injury criteria were developed for use in frontal crash safety testing of civilian automobiles and do not have the biofidelity or resolution to assess for the particular injuries that occur in UBB events. To resolve the capability gaps, the WIAMan system will be developed specifically for use in the military UBB environment, providing a new capability for test and evaluation of vehicle/weapon system designs and improvements in warfighter survivability, as well as advancing the state of the art in UBB injury assessment. The requirements for the WIAMan system are driven by the unique features of Soldiers and their equipment, military vehicles, the loading conditions associated with UBB, and the scientific, technical, and operational needs of the LFT&E community. The system will be comprised of a new instrumented ATD that is purpose built for the military LFT&E environment, all supporting biomechanics and injury data, analysis tools. WIAMan is currently an S&T program which has been underway since 2010. The S&T program is defining the trade space for the test capability by conducting biomechanics testing and by designing, fabricating, testing, and refining prototypes of an ATD that represent the male Soldier population. The WIAMan S&T effort will culminate in 2018 with a demonstration of the prototype system at a TRL 6 after which a Milestone B decision will be made to determine whether the program will transition to Engineering and Manufacturing Development. Disclaimer Industry Day is not mandatory. Companies can still participate in any future RFP or other solicitations regardless of Industry Day attendance. This Special Notice does not constitute a solicitation. The Government is not requesting written responses nor offers from Industry under this special notice. Registration with main POC is required to ensure conference room capacity. Responders are responsible for all expenses, including travel, associated with responding to this Special Notice and attending Industry Day.
