R--Industry Day: Analytical Services associated with Target Descriptions, Vulnerability, Survivability & Weapons Effectiveness Studies for The Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME).

The Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness will conduct an Industry Day for its requirement for analytical services. The purpose of this meeting is to provide interested companies with an overview of the program requirements and an opportunity to gather more information prior to the RFP being issued. Industry Day will provide an opportunity for the following: (1) market research data to facilitate small business determination for anticipated task orders; (2) contractor presentations to market their capabilities to attending JTCG/ME representatives; and (3) interested parties to obtain information from the Government point of contact (POC). The JTCG/ME is a joint service group whose mission is to provide the Services effectiveness data for fielded non nuclear munitions. The U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) supports the Army and the JTCG/ME with studies on the effectiveness of both fielded and developmental munitions. The JTCG/ME prepares and continuously updates Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manuals (JMEM) for air to- surface, surface to surface, antiair and other non nuclear munitions systems (to include Non-lethal, Direct Energy and Information Operations) including management of joint service efforts for associated data bases in target vulnerability, weapon characteristics and delivery accuracy. JTCG/ME is charged with establishing standardized procedures for important test factors such, as kill criteria, weapon lethalities, delivery accuracies, methodologies and data format for reporting new munitions effects into JMEM's. Weapon effectiveness calculations require a number of inputs such as weapon characteristics, weapon delivery accuracy and target vulnerability to specific damage mechanisms.
