AI Contract Overview

The Government has issued a preliminary announcement signaling its intent to release a formal Request for Project Proposals (RPP) for multiple project awards under an Other Transaction Agreement focused on Ground Robotics research and development. This announcement serves solely for planning purposes and does not itself constitute a solicitation or guarantee any contract award. The targeted research areas include advanced capabilities such as Non-Line-of-Sight tele-operation, enhanced depth perception for tele-operation, rapid structure characterization architectures, unmanned sniper detection, force and tactile sensing manipulation, and mapping in complex urban environments. The RPP will be issued exclusively to the Robotics Technology Consortium through its administrative agent, the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, and only consortium members will be eligible to submit proposals. This initiative follows the formation of the Robotics Technology Consortium in January 2008 after the Government's initial announcement of their intent in December 2007. The contract opportunity is managed by the Department of Defense at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, reflecting a collaborative approach with industry to advance ground robotics capabilities in support of defense needs. Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the consortium for membership details and partnership opportunities.

Full Description

This is not a Request for Project Proposals, but for planning purposes only. Aproject award will not be awarded from this announcement. The Government intends to announce a Request for Project Proposals for execution of multiple project awards in support of Ground Robotics related research areas. The purpose of this announcement is to provide members of the Robotics Technology Consortium, and industry in general, advanced notification of Government intent. In December 2007, the Government announce its intent to enter into an Other Transaction Agreement with one (1) consortium in support of Ground Robotics related Research and Development projects. As a result of the Ground Robotics Industry Day in January 2008, one (1) consortium formed, the Robotics Technology Consortium. It is the intent of the Government to make multiple project awards to the members of the Robotics Technology Consortium as a result of member project proposals submitted via the Request for Project Proposals. The anticipated Research Areas for which project proposals will be sought is as follows: (1) Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) Tele-operation, (2) Improved Depth Perception to aid Tele-Operation, (3) Architecture for Rapid Structure Characterization, (4) Unmanned Sniper Detection, (5) Force and Tactile Sensing based Manipulation, and (6) Mapping in Complex Urban Terrains. The Request for Project Proposals will be issued to the Robotics Technology Consortiums Administrative Agent, the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, who will then issue the request to the members of the Consortium.
