A -- MILITARY OPERATIONS IN URBAN TERRAIN (MOUT) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION DUE 011298 POC Point of Contact -- Bing Mak, Technical, 732-532-0371. E-MAIL: MOUT, mak@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. MILITARY OPERATIONS IN URBAN TERRAIN (MOUT) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The defense Science Board 1994 Task Force on Military Operations in Built-Up Areas recommended an Advance Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) to enhance the warfighting cabability in a MOUT environment. As a result, a joint Army/Marine Corps MOUT ACTD was created to improve the operational effectiveness of soldiers and Marines operating in urban or built up areas. The ACTD will leverage ON-GOING technology developments in identifying and experimenting with the best candidates to meet the prioritized MOUT ACTD User Requirements. The MOUT ACTD Functional Areas to be considered here are Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I). The following represent the ten user requirements for C4I. 1. Hands-free Non-Line-Of-Sight communication: small squad radio with communication range of 1-5 km (inside-outside buildings), secure selective hands free (wi! thout taking hands off weapon systems), secure voice and data 2. Produce/update maps: Produce and update maps at squad level, maps are 1:25,000 scale or smaller based on aerial imagery, common datum for joint environments, GPS -- true maps and geographical information 3. Intelligence collection/dissemination: Platoon/Squad intelligence collection and dissemination tool, conducts remote route/area/building reconnaissance, single-man portable, day/night audio/video, accept other sensors, and compatible with higher level communications architecture. 4. Position and location in buildings: position and location data inside buildings based on movement since last GPS information 5. Lightweight Thru-wall sensor: rapidly sense through walls and determine room occupancy by friend/foe or combatant/non-combatant 6. Night vision within buildings: ability to "see" day/night with obscurants 7. Combat Identification Friend/Foe: discriminate friend/foe and combatant/non-combata!nt with obscurants 8. Sniper location: detect location of sniper and small arms fire from stationary and movingsoldiers/Marines 9. Lightweight designator: target designator with the capability to designate and/or transmit digital target data to off-site shooter 10. Powered Optics: magnified optical device for individual/crew served weapons with a desire of depth perception. An organization with a potential solution to any of these ten requirements should submit all information within 30 days of publication of this notice. Desired information would be any detailed technical information, drawings or sketches, existing data supporting performance capabilities, availability and cost. Interested organizations should respond (for items one through four only) to Commander, CECOM, AMSEL-RD-ST-WL-WI (B. Mak), Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703. Interested organizations should respond (for items five through ten only) to Director, Night Vision Directorate, AMSEL-RD-NV-LW-SSB (C. Royal), 10! 221 Burbeck Road STE 430, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060.
