Description
SOURCES SOUGHT: UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLE COUNTERMEASURES The Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) is seeking information on the availability and technical capability of all sources to provide countermeasures to the threats posed by Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV). The US Department of Defense has chartered the Stand-Off Weapons Defeat Joint Integrated Product Team (SOWD-JIPT) to support the Physical Security Enterprise and Analysis Group (PSEAG) Counter Unmanned Ground Vehicle Working Group (C-UGV WG) with the mission to study the state of the art in countermeasures to the threats posed by UGVs. MCWL is providing technical subject matter expertise in support of this effort. The working group holds responsibility for assessing current countermeasure capabilities against the threat systems noted. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals or the existence of a firm requirement. Submission of any information in response to this market research is purely voluntary and the Government assumes no responsibility for any costs incurred. Issuance of this RFI will not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the Government to issue a solicitation, other announcement, contract award, or agreement. No feedback may be provided to companies regarding their capability submissions. Any information that the vendor considers proprietary should be clearly marked as proprietary. Required Capabilities: With regard to Unmanned Ground Vehicle threats, the C-UGV WG is assessing countermeasure capabilities against individual and groups of UGV threats. Capabilities sought include total system solutions as well as specific elements of the engagement sequence - Detection, Classification, Localization, Tracking, Engagement, and Assessment (BDA). UGV defeat mechanisms ranging from mission kill/disruption to vehicle damage/destruction/capture are considered. Cross-domain (C-UxV) solutions capable of supporting countermeasures against both UGVs and additional unmanned systems (e.g. unmanned surface vehicles) are especially encouraged. MCWL is seeking detailed information and data on: 1. C-UGV System or Component Description 2. SWAP (Size, Weight and Power) specifications 3. System's sensor(s) and/or effectors range of influence 4. System/component applicability to open terrain and/or geographically constrained terrain 5. System/component applicability to threat UGV - size/mission/other vehicle characteristics 6. System's engagement process (timeline and distance) against UGV threats, to include system power up, data upload, slew, launch, course correction, intercept, and defeat, if applicable 7. Technology Readiness Level or Manufacturability Readiness Level (TRL/MRL) (current), TRL/MRL (projections FY18-FY25) 8. Anticipated/potential residual damage at engagement and/or at impact location 9. Relevant sensor characteristics, modalities and signal processing requirements associated with detection, classification, localization and tracking capabilities 10. Any applicable test data to support provided claims Please note: Provide any additional relevant information or data not listed above. The responses shall include, but not be limited to: Business name and address; Name of company representative and their business title; Size of Business; Cage Code; Facility clearance; (a) An executive summary of the party's experience with counter UGV; (b) A description of the party's C-UGV component technology or system solution; (c) Evidence of current TRL 5 or 6, or what investment would be required to reach TRL 6; and (d) Data on the C-UGV system/component technology performance in different environments - including controlled in-laboratory as well as open water venues. Please provide *unclassified* submissions via AMERDEC at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe/Welcome.aspx. The point of contact is Ms. Suzanne Blagg at suzanne.blagg@usmc.mil. NOTE: This Request for Information is for planning purposes only and is issued in accordance with FAR 52.215-3.
