The overall goal is to capture and compare kinematic responses from blunt impacts for safety research. The outlined requirements underscore the importance of adhering to specific technical standards and regulatory compliance while promoting transparency and competition among suppliers, especially small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned enterprises.
