Description
1. This is an announcement of intent for a proposed demonstration of Robotic, Artificial Intelligence, and Autonomy technologies at Fort Benning Georgia, in September, 2020. Participation in this effort is strictly voluntary with no obligation incurred by the United States Government (USG). The USG will in no way be bound to this information if any solicitation is issued. However, this presents an important opportunity for Industry to participate in US Army small tactical unit Robotics and Artificial Intelligence efforts which will culminate in a demonstration of integrated technologies to US Army Senior Leaders in September 2020. Participation is strictly voluntary and the U.S. Government will not reimburse contractors directly for any cost incurred for its participation in this event. The US Government does intend to fund selected contractors, through the Defense Mobility Enterprise (DME), to mature technologies for integration into the demonstration. There is no requirement for any information to be submitted directly to the Government based on this FBO announcement. 2. Purpose -Robotics Requirements, Maneuver Capabilities Development Integration Directorate, Futures and Concepts Center, U.S. Army Futures Command, in concert with the Maneuver Center of Excellence, herein after referred to as the United States Government (USG), is alerting industry to two opportunities: a. Propose, mature, and prototype robotic technologies that will show a path towards an Army capability that will provide a robotically equipped dismounted Infantry Platoon that is 10 times more effective than the current dismounted Infantry Platoon. Infantry Platoons will integrate - through Manned-UnManned Teaming (MUMT) - robotic ground, air, water, and virtual systems that increase the Infantry Platoon's lethality, mobility, protection, situational awareness, endurance, persistence, and depth. b. Propose, mature, and prototype Artificial Intelligence tools that show a path to enabling Platoon leaders and Soldiers to observe, orient, decide, and act 10 times faster than their current capability. Artificial Intelligence tools will take disparate streams of information from organic robotic and Soldier worn sensors with higher echelon mission command, intelligence, and sensors; weave them into a coherent picture using Artificial Intelligence; and then provide that picture in an intuitive way. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (04-MAR-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
