- Description
- MARKET SURVEY: Mobile Optical Augmentation Systems. The U.S. Army, Army Contracting Command, CECOM Contracting Center-Washington (CCCE-W) on behalf of the U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications and Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Ground Combat Systems Division is conducting market research to identify companies having Mobile Optical Augmentation (OA) systems (A mobile OA system is defined as an OA system that will be mounted on a military vehicle, and be able to search a predetermined area of interest, surrounding the vehicle and while moving). The NVESD will host Market Survey vendor briefings at NVESD, Ft Belvoir on 21 and 22 October 2009. The purpose of this Market Survey is to invite vendors to exchange information with NVESD on any Mobile OA systems that are currently under development and at or close to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5. The definition of TRL 5 is a system with the basic technology components integrated with reasonably realistic supporting elements so that it can be tested in a simulated environment. At the market survey briefing session NVESD will provide an overview of the governments interest in Mobile OA systems and the potential path forward for equipping our forces with a near term solution. Each vendor will be allowed 30 minutes to present its mobile OA system via power point and/or hardware demonstration and 30 minutes for a question and answer session. Vendor briefings may be presented either via CD/DVD or from their lap top computer or from paper copies on an overhead projector. Vendor briefings should include production capability, production cost estimate and delivery schedule. An advance copy of the vendor's briefing should be provided with the request to participate to marilyn.shortle@us.army.mil. The company shall be responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses for this market survey and participating in the actual briefing at NVESD. The briefing should be kept unclassified; questions related to security classification guidance should be directed to George Fahlsing, 703-704-1593.
