-- MARKET SURVEY TAR-R 2006-09 FOR TACTICAL WHEELED VEHICLE SURVIVABILITY

The U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) is undertaking a market survey to explore advanced technologies aimed at improving the survivability of Tactical Wheeled Vehicles (TWVs) for the period between 2010 and 2017. This initiative seeks to identify cutting-edge developments in crew, passenger, and overall vehicle protection technologies within the industry. The goal is to utilize these innovations to create integrated survivability solutions that effectively meet both current and future operational requirements of TWVs. The survey, identified as TAR-R 2006-09, was posted in August 2006 by the W4GG Headquarters US Army Tacom, under the Department of Defense, with efforts coordinated from the Detroit Arsenal, Michigan. Although specific set-aside types or NAICS codes were not indicated, this market research effort is crucial for understanding available technologies and guiding further development in vehicle protection. The Army aims to leverage industry advancements to bolster soldier safety and vehicle resilience during tactical operations.
