Next Generation Trackless Targets (NGTT) -- Call for Solutions

The Performance Specification (PRF-PT-00869) outlines the technical and performance requirements for the U.S. Army's Future Army System of Integrated Targets (FASIT) Next Generation Trackless Targets (NGTT). This document, released by PEO STRI, details general requirements for range operation, GPS, deployability, terrain traversability, environmental resilience, armor plating, charging interfaces and times, battery life, and integration with MILES devices. It also specifies unique requirements for both infantry and vehicle variants of the NGTT, covering aspects such as size, transportation, payload, battlefield effects, presentation devices, turning radius, ground clearance, fording capabilities, slope handling, speed, acceleration, braking, shot sensing, and reactive behaviors. The document concludes with verification methods, including analysis, demonstration, and examination, to ensure compliance with all specified requirements.

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Orlando (ACC-Orlando) has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under Call Number CPE-STRI-NGTT to acquire innovative commercial products or technologies for the Next Generation Trackless Targets (NGTT) Family of Products (FOP). This initiative seeks to enhance training realism and Soldier lethality by providing advanced trackless mobile targets that simulate real-world scenarios. Solutions must be compatible with existing Army target operating software (TRACR II), represent infantry and vehicle movements on diverse terrain, and withstand various ammunition types. The solicitation outlines a multi-phase evaluation process, starting with solution briefs due by February 12, 2026, followed by presentations, and finally, full proposal submissions. Awarded contracts will be fixed-price or other authorized agreements, with offerors required to be registered in SAM.gov and comply with NIST SP 800-171 DoD assessment requirements.

The Performance Specification PRF-PT-00869 outlines the technical and performance requirements for the Future Army System of Integrated Targets (FASIT) Next Generation Trackless Targets (NGTT) and associated devices. This document, intended for public release, details general requirements such as integration with TRACR II range control software, GPS tracking, and deployability in various environments (with and without RF infrastructure). It also specifies terrain traversability, environmental resistance (temperature, humidity, salt fog, wind, sand, rain), and armor plating capable of withstanding multiple impacts from various calibers. Charging interfaces, battery life, and integration with MILES devices are also covered. The specification further delineates unique requirements for both Infantry and Vehicle NGTT platforms, including size envelopes, transportability, payload capacity, battlefield effects, presentation devices (mannequins and silhouettes), turning radius, ground clearance, fording capabilities, side grade and traverse/climb angles, speed, acceleration, and braking. Shot sensing capabilities and reactive behaviors to hits and near misses are also detailed for both platform types. The document concludes with verification methods, including analysis, demonstration, and examination, to ensure compliance with all specified requirements.

The Performance Specification PRF-PT-00869 outlines the technical and performance requirements for the Future Army System of Integrated Targets (FASIT) Next Generation Trackless Targets (NGTT). Developed by the U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (CPE STRI), this document details general operational requirements, including integration with the TRACR II range control software, GPS capabilities, and deployability in various environments. It specifies terrain traversability, environmental resistance, and armor plating standards. The document also addresses charging interfaces, battery life, and integration with MILES devices, along with obstacle avoidance features. Unique requirements for both Infantry and Vehicle NGTT platforms are meticulously defined, covering aspects like size, transportability, payload capacity, battlefield effects, presentation devices, maneuverability, speed, acceleration, braking, shot sensing, and reactive behaviors. Verification methods, including analysis, demonstration, and examination, are detailed to ensure compliance with all specified requirements. The document also includes an appendix listing DODIC and standoff requirements for various weapon types.

This government file addresses questions and comments regarding the Next Generation Trackless Targets (NGTT) Call for Solutions. It clarifies evaluation criteria, timelines, and technical specifications for infantry and vehicle target platforms. Key points include evaluation based on cost and technical merit, a Phase 1 evaluation period of approximately 30 days, and a Phase 2 live demonstration within 120 days. The government seeks Government Purpose Rights for technical data and intends for a single awardee to provide both infantry and vehicle models, though this may be re-evaluated. The document also confirms that acceptance testing occurs post-contract award and that the government is open to updating specifications based on innovative industry proposals.

The document addresses questions and comments regarding the Next Generation Trackless Targets (NGTT) Call for Solutions. It clarifies evaluation criteria, timelines, and technical specifications for infantry and vehicle target platforms. Key points include proposals being evaluated on cost and technical merit, with Phase 1 taking approximately 30 days and Phase 2 live demonstrations occurring within 120 days. The government will seek Government Purpose Rights for intellectual property. Technical specifications are being clarified, with corrections to speed conversions and confirmation of 50-meter standoff requirements for 5.56mm rounds. The intent is for a single awardee to provide both infantry and vehicle models, though splitting the requirement may be considered. Offerors are responsible for their own expenses during demonstrations. The government is open to updating specifications if innovative solutions are presented.
