AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army's Targets Management Office is developing the New Generation Army Targetry System (NGATS) to modernize and replace current target systems used on live fire ranges. This new system will consist of families of interchangeable target components designed to deliver the necessary performance while minimizing life cycle costs. After reviewing industry responses to a Request For Information issued in March 2004, the Government has decided to streamline communication protocols by exclusively adopting Ethernet (TCP/IP) as the physical communication medium, eliminating the previous dual use of both Ethernet and RS-485 (HDLC). The Government plans to update the relevant Interface Control Documents (ICDs) to reflect this change, with postings expected within two weeks on the NGATS website, where interested parties can access them once announced. This notice serves as an informational update and does not obligate the Government to procure any products or services. The solicitation is linked to NAICS code 334519 and is managed under the Department of Defense from Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Contact points for further information include Steve Wright and James Fletcher at the provided Army email addresses.

Full Description

The U.S. Army's Targets Management Office (TMO) is developing a New Generation Army Targetry System (NGATS) to replace existing target systems on live fire ranges. 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. The Government has evaluated the responses provided by Industry on it's Request For Information (RFI) issued 24 March 2004 regarding the method of communication to be utilized. The previous design method for communication utilized both the Ethernet (TCP/I P) and the RS-485 (HDLC) physical media (protocol). The Government has decided to use only the Ethernet (TCP/IP) physical media and protocol. The Government will update the appropriate Interface Control Documents (ICDs) within two weeks. They will be po sted on the NGATS web site, http//ngats.redstone.army.mil. An announcement will be issued when the ICDs are posted. POC is: contact@example.gov or contact@example.gov. This announcement does not constitute an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services.
