- Description
- Agency/Office: Army Contracting Command � Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) Title: Special Notice � Ground Vehicle Systems OTA, W15QKN-17-9-1025 RPP 21-05, Combat Vehicle Robotics (CoVeR) Increment 3 (Inc 3) Description: The Government intends to issue a Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP) for Combat Vehicle Robotics (CoVeR) Increment 3 (Inc 3) under the Ground Vehicle Systems (GVS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), W15QKN-17-9-1025. The GVS OTA was entered into between the Army Contracting Command (ACC) and the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) on 26 September 2017, in support of Ground Vehicle System related Research and Development prototype projects. The Government will utilize the GVS OTA to award this effort. The intent of the CoVeR Inc 3 program is to develop and integrate technologies that enable scalable integration of multi-domain robotic and autonomous systems. These capabilities will be teamed with Army formations and support all combat warfighting functions, such as close combat, reconnaissance, targeting and acquisition. This RPP is soliciting Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) proposals for the research and development of prototypes that will support the CoVeR Inc 3 program. The proposals must demonstrate the ability to: develop and integrate technologies to enable autonomous system capabilities to assimilate with Army formations and support all combat warfighting functions (close combat, reconnaissance, targeting and acquisition), develop Manned/Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) Behaviors using the Soldier-in-the-loop, develop the Soldier Machine Interfaces to intuitively interact and control robotic systems, and develop the methods and protocols to operate and assess these systems safely. The Period of Performance is anticipated to span three (3) years. The acquisition approach for the CoVeR Inc 3 project will be completed in two stages.� The first stage is Request for Technical Paper and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM).�� The second stage is a Virtual Pitch Day (VPD) tentatively scheduled for June 2021. The Government does not intend to pursue a Follow-on Production effort under the authority of 10 USC 2371b(f) for this effort. NOTE: This Special Notice is for informational purposes only. A prototype project will not be awarded in response to this announcement. The purpose of this announcement is to provide industry advanced notification of the Government�s intent to release an RPP to the NAMC membership. For information on the NAMC and/or how to become a member, visit the following website: www.NAMConsortium.org. The Government point of contact for this effort is Judith Kwon, Agreements Specialist judith.y.kwon.civ@mail.mil
