- Description
- The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM), PM Light Tactical Vehicle (PM-LTV), Warren, Michigan, invites your comments on the attached Market Survey Questionnaire. This market survey is for information and planning purposes only an d is not to be construed as a commitment by TACOM, Warren. The Government is conducting this survey to gain knowledge of technologies either developed and mature or near term, with respect to possible drive train upgrades for the current HMMWV fleet and/or future production light tactical vehicles. The final requ irements for HMMWV re-power are not yet fully defined. The purpose of this survey is to help define HMMWV re-power requirements which are aligned with readily available commercial and military products. The current HMMWV fleet contains many vehicles which have reduced capabilities and are nearing component service life end due to mission profile changes or component obsolescence. The PM is tasked with developing a near term solution for re-powering the H MMWV platform. This effort will likely include changes to the entire driveline, cooling and electrical systems and will be based upon the M1097 chassis and suspension. The Government intends to identify, test and package a complete kit to enhance HMMWV performance while also reducing maintenance costs and maintenance repair times. It is requested industry answer the below questions as they pertain to your particular product(s) and services. Please send your responses electronically to Mr. Chester Ray at rayc@tacom.army.mil by 14 May 2004. You may fax your response to (586) 574-8636 if you do not have electronic capability. You are allowed to mark any document or information submitted as conf idential. Please mark your information 'Proprietary', as you feel appropriate. Any product literature that cannot be emailed may be sent to Mr. Ray at: Commander U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command ATTN: AMSTA-AQ-ATBA/MS 416 6501 E. Eleven Mile Road Warren, MI 48397-5000 Your input is voluntary and no compensation can be made for your participation in this survey. We appreciate your cooperation in answering these questions and thank you in advance for your participation. MARKET SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE HMMWV Re-Power Components 1. General Information: a.
