Gun Tube Analysis Program Software Design

NAICS Code: 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey, on behalf of U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command - Armaments Center (CCDC AC), at Benet Laboratories, Watervliet, New York is conducting market research to determine the capability of businesses to provide mission-critical updates-upgrades to the Army's Gun Tube Analysis Program (GTAP) software design, development, and evaluation tool. This software tool is used for computational thermochemistry, interior ballistics, fluid-dynamics, heat- transfer, bore-deposition, bore-degradation, bore-wear, and bore-erosion. These will enable Benet Labs to meet critical future gun, charge, and projectile system program goals and is the Army's sole enabler to model, design, optimize, and field new important advances in gun system technology as gun systems continuously evolve. These critically supported gun design models include structure, finite element analysis, recoil, impulse, muzzle brake beta, muzzle blast, flash, signature, heat transfer, fracture, fatigue, bore degradation, bore wear, and bore erosion. In addition, these models provide critical support to over a half dozen ammunition design models. DISCLAIMER - THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
