The document outlines a Request for Proposal (RFP) concerning Tactical Fires Radar Technology, with a focus on clarifying power source requirements for contractors responding to the RFP. It includes a series of contractor questions regarding whether they need to supply their own power source or can rely on the host platform, and what the power requirements are to meet performance thresholds. The government's response indicates uncertainty regarding the power source but emphasizes that bidders should presume a power source exists while providing details on their power needs. This information is critical for understanding the overall performance and feasibility of the proposed technology and emphasizes the importance of power requirements in the proposal process. The document reflects typical RFP format and serves as a guide for potential contractors in preparing their submissions, ensuring they address crucial operational parameters related to their technology solutions.
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) is seeking information through a Request for Information (RFI) set to close on September 22, 2024. The aim is to explore industry capabilities for a medium lift ground-based radar system, specifically focusing on small size, weight, and power (SWaP), along with multi-mode, active electronically scanned array (AESA) technologies for short to medium range missions. Additionally, respondents must gain access to a controlled unclassified document (Attachment 01) by being Joint Certification Program (JCP) certified, detailing further technical requirements, including radar specifications, capabilities, and operational concepts.
Submissions must include comprehensive company and technical information along with answers to specified questions by September 8, 2024. Responses should be unclassified, with some confidentiality considerations for proprietary information. This RFI serves solely as a request for information and does not establish any contractual obligations. The Army will use the information to guide potential future procurement strategies while ensuring engagement with industry partners.
