AI Contract Overview

The New Generation Army Targetry System (NGATS) Component Acceptance Test Cell became operational on February 2, 2004, under the oversight of the Army Targets Management Office. This initiative invites manufacturers of target hardware, battlefield effects simulators, and target scoring systems intended for live fire ranges to submit their products for qualification testing. The NGATS program aims to replace existing target systems with families of interchangeable components designed to enhance performance while reducing life cycle costs. The system will be implemented incrementally through blocks, beginning with Block I scheduled for deployment in late fiscal year 2006, with later blocks to follow as determined. The qualification process is governed by Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements, with the government actively seeking products for inclusion in the NGATS qualification program. The prime contract award requiring qualified components is anticipated around mid-fiscal year 2005. Manufacturers must adhere to detailed documentation as outlined in the Interface Control Documents and Specifications before testing begins. The program utilizes a bailment agreement for equipment transfer and commits to timely notification of qualification results. Additional program details and submission requirements are accessible through the NGATS program website maintained by the Department of Defense at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.

This NGATS target system will be made up of families of targetry components that are interchangeable and provide the required performance at a low life cycle cost. Compatible NGATS components will be deployed on Army training ranges in a sequential or blocked program where each block represents increases in performance, reductions in life cycle cost, or both. The N GATS program is scheduled to begin fielding ranges in late FY06 with a Block I NGATS system. The schedule for fielding Block II and subsequent blocks will be set at a later date. Additional background information may be found at http://ngats.redstone.arm y.mil. FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION REQUIRED ANNOUNCEMENTS: FAR subpart 9.204: The Government is seeking additional products for NGATS Qualification. FAR subpart 9.205: The anticipated date for award of a prime contract requiring the use of qualified targetry components is mid FY 2005. The Interface Control Documents and Specification list specific information that is requested of the manufacturer before qualification testing will begin. The Bailment agreement for transfer of the equipment to be qualified contains a statement of the approximate time period following submission of a product for qualification testing within which the applicant will be notified whether the product passed or f ailed the qualification testing.
