AI Contract Overview

The contract concerns the development of the Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS), which integrates advanced technologies such as a Modular Sensor Suite (MSS) with visible, near-infrared, and long-wave infrared sensors, and a Heads Up Display (HUD) to enhance bomb suit capabilities. The NGABS system includes multiple components such as bomb suit coat and trousers, fused day/night vision on the HUD, integrated head protection with cooling and ventilation, lighting systems, communications integrated within the helmet protection system, a modular scalable vest, ballistic combat shirt, vital torso protection, power sources, ballistic clear visor, tactical communication systems, modular or active cooling systems, mechanical mounting systems, wiring, and the necessary computing and software for system operations. The objective is to rapidly develop, test, and manufacture the MSS and HUD to seamlessly integrate with existing government-furnished equipment and the bomb suit. An Industry Day event facilitated by the Sensors Communications Electronics Consortium (SCEC) took place on February 20, 2019, at Ft Belvoir, VA, aimed at briefing industry participants on the technical and integration requirements of NGABS. Attendance and one-on-one sessions were limited to SCEC members or applicants. The event served as an informational session and discussion forum, without constituting a Request for Proposal or commitment by the U.S. Government. The contract and related activities are authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2371b for prototype development. Interested parties were directed to contact designated personnel for participation coordination. The Department of Defense office handling the contract is based in Alexandria, VA, with specified contract specialists and officers as the points of contact.

Full Description

This is a special notice to announce an Industry Day for an upcoming requirement through the Sensors Communications Electronics Consortium (SCEC). The upcoming requirement is for the establishment of a core solution to achieve the capabilities required for the total integrated Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS) system based around the Modular Sensor Suite (MSS), Heads Up Display (HUD), and the bomb suit (coat and trousers). The objective of this effort is to rapidly develop, test, and manufacture an MSS and HUD that will integrate with existing Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and the bomb suit to be developed alongside the MSS and HUD. The NGABS is comprised, at a minimum, of the following items: - Bomb Suit Coat - Bomb Suit Trousers - Modular Sensor Suite (Visible Color, Near Infrared, and Long Wave Infrared sensors. System can be monocular, binocular, or panoramic) - Heads Up Display - Fused Day/Night Vision Capabilities for the MSS to display on the HUD - Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) - Helmet Cooling / Ventilation - Integrated Lighting (Helmet and Sleeve of Coat) - Integrated Communications System (Situated Within the IHPS) - Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) - Ballistic Combat Shirt (BCS) - Vital Torso Protection (VTP) or Legacy Hard Armor Plates - Power Source (Conformal Battery, or Other) - Ballistic Clear Visor - Tactical Communication and Protective System (TCAPS) - Active or Modular Cooling System - Mechanical Mounting System for the Ballistic Visor, MSS, and HUD - All required wiring and or cabling for the NGABS system - Computing and software required to drive the MSS, HUD, and other systems as required The Industry Day will take place at the Officers' Club on Ft Belvoir, VA on 20 February 2019 from 0800 to 1645. The purpose of the Industry Day is to brief Industry on the technical, integration, and proposal requirements followed by open discussion. This Industry Day and Optional one on-one sessions will be available to only SCEC members and SCEC membership applicants only; requests must be submitted to, and coordinated with, SCEC. One-on-One sessions will be a maximum of 30 minutes. This announcement should not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a commitment by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government does not intend to award on the basis of this Industry Day. This request is issued according to the authority provided under 10 U.S.C. 2371b, Other Transaction Authority for Prototypes.
