The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the development of Rapidly Deployable Base Fortification Systems. The objective is to create improved base fortification systems that provide rapid defense for personnel in austere environments. The technology should be transportable on aircraft with minimal footprint and utilize readily available resources in the field to minimize transportation weight, deployment time, and destruction for withdrawal time. The current method of using sandbags is time-consuming and increases personnel fatigue. The DOD is interested in technologies that can reduce the employment time of sandbags or completely replace them with a comparable system that provides equal or better levels of protection. The systems should be minimal in size and weight to reduce cargo size and weight for transportation. The project will be conducted at the unclassified level for Phase I and II. Phase I awards will not be made for this topic. Phase II will involve in-depth research and development, resulting in a full-scale prototype package that demonstrates the capability of the product and the time to deploy compared to standard fortification products. Phase III will focus on exploring and pursuing paths for military and commercial applications, as well as evaluating the performance of the developed capability in operational environments. Potential users may include the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security, Border Patrol, and local governments.
