- Terms of Use Agreement AEODRS Strategy Brief AEODRS SOW Section B Notes AEODRS CLIN Structure AEODRS CLINs This notice is for market research purposes only and does NOT constitute a request for proposal. This notice shall not be construed as a contract, a promise to contract, or as a commitment of any kind by the Government. The Government is NOT seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. This RFI is issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of NAVSEA Expeditionary Missions PMS 408. PMS 408 requires a Prime System Integrator (PSI) to develop, integrate, test, support Government training, test and user evaluations and deliver the AEODRS Increments 2 and 3 variants. The Navy is conducting market research in accordance with FAR Part 10 to assess industry technical capabilities, risks and receive Industry input on the AEODRS Increments 2 and 3 CLIN Structure, Statement of Work (SOW) and Capability Acquisition Strategy (included below). The Government intends to build AEODRS Increments 2 and 3 as separate build with engineering hours for pre-planned capabilities/supply support and production options. In addition, this announcement requests industry comments on how the Government can satisfy its needs, alternative approaches, technology availability and risk, the identification of cost drivers, and suggestions on ways to enhance or sustain competition. This RFI is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as an invitation for bid, request for quotation, request for proposal, or an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Your response to this RFI will be treated as information only and part of market research and will not be shared outside of the Government. When/if the Government issues a Request for Proposal (RFP), interested contractors will be expected to thoroughly address the RFP requirements regardless of the circumstances surrounding this RFI. AEODRS Increment 2/3 Capability Acquisition Strategy: Increment 2 is a Tactical Operating System, with a desired baseline system and associated capabilities integrated on a chassis with sufficient Size Weight and Power (SWaP) margin to enable follow-on capabilities and/or retrofit with desired engineering enhancements. Increment 3 is a Base Infrastructure Operating System that will require a larger unique chassis and associated SWaP. The desired final article should include all Increment 2 baseline and engineering enhancements capabilites, modified as appropriate for the larger vehicle. •· Production Representative Models (PRMs) /First Articles (FA) notional CLINs 0100 and 0300 CLIN Type CPIF AEODRS Increment 2/3 base capabilities •· AEODRS Inc 1 Government Furnished Property for integration into AEODRS Increment 2/3 baseline: •· Inc 1 COM-LINK •· Inc 1 CM-MAS •· Inc 1 CM-VIS (As Secondary VIS) •· Inc 1 Hand Held Control Unit (HOCU) •· AEODRS Government Developed/Configured Government Furnished Property for integration into AEODRS Increment 2/3 baseline : •· Firing Circuit Suite •· OCU-DOCK •· Government Ruggedized Laptop (MOCU Version xx preinstalled) •· Common PSI AEODRS Increment 2/3 baseline capability modules: •· Inc 2/3 CM-AB •· Inc 2/3 CM-VIS (Primary) •· Inc 2/3 COM-LINK •· Inc 2/3 ID/OD •· Platform unique PSI AEODRS Increment 2/3 baseline capability modules: Inc 2 platform unique for SWaP: •· Inc 2 CM-MOB (Mobility Capability with SWaP Margin for Growth) •· Inc 2 CM-PWR •· Inc 2 Primary CM-MAN (7 DoF) •· Inc 2 Secondary CM-MAN (3 DoF) •· Inc 2 CM-EEF •· Inc 2 MAN/EEF Interface (Modular Interchangeable End Effector) Inc 3 platform unique for SWaP: •· Inc 3 CM-MOB (Mobility Capability with SWaP Margin for Growth) •· Inc 3 CM-PWR •· Inc 3 Primary CM-MAN (7 DoF) •· Inc 3 Secondary CM-MAN (3 DoF) •· Inc 3 CM-EEF •· Inc 3 MAN/EEF Interface (Modular Interchangeable End Effector) •· Common critical capabilities required for Increment 2/3 baseline: •· Autonomous Point to Point Navigation - Navigate through unobstructed terrain in a Global Positioning System (GPS) available environment •· Automated Manipulation - System automatically positions end effector to a pre-programmed point relative to the vehicle for further operator controlled positioning •· Standardized User Interface - Common user interface between HOCU and Ruggedized laptop controller •· Reliability - 90% probability that the system will complete an EOD mission (up to three hours) without an operational mission failure •· Information Assurance - Cybersecurity for non-GIG IT •· Operation of Multiple Platforms - Three vehicles can be operated within wireless range at one time without degradation in performance. •· Bi-Manual Tasks - System can perform bi-manual tasks (ex. stabilizing and unscrewing the cap of a two inch diameter cylinder) •· Engineering Enhancements (Increment 2) Level of Effort (LOE) Engineering Services notional CLIN 0500 series CLIN type CPFF to support Pre-Planned Future Capabilities.
