AI Contract Overview
The Joint Project Manager Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Sensing, under the Joint Project Manager Integrated Early Warning, is conducting a market survey via Request for Information W911SR-26-RFI-VIPER. The objective is to identify industry sources capable of providing development, testing, and platform integration support for the Vehicle Integrated Platform Enhanced RADIAC (VIPER) system. VIPER is a standalone, networked capability designed to replace legacy AN/VDR-2 and AN/UDR-13 systems by providing rapid and accurate monitoring of crew exposure to radiological and nuclear hazards. The system will be integrated into various U.S. Army manned ground and aviation platforms to detect integrated gamma dose rate, total dose, and prompt dose both inside and outside of vehicles, supporting a Common Operational Picture through Army mission command software. The government is specifically seeking robust, non-traditional sensor technologies, such as solid-state sensors or scintillators, to move beyond traditional Geiger-Müller tubes. Technical requirements emphasize survivability in complex military environments, requiring compliance with MIL-STD 810H, 461G, and 464 standards, as well as hardening against nuclear events and electromagnetic interference. While this RFI is for planning purposes and is not a formal request for proposal, interested respondents must provide administrative and business profiles under NAICS code 334519. Access to the restricted Technical Specification Summary requires verification of a Joint Certification Program certification, a current NIST SP 800-171 assessment in the Supplier Performance Risk System, and compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012. Responses must be submitted in PDF format and are due by October 5, 2026.

Full Description
Joint Project Manager (JPM) Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Sensing under the JPM Integrated Early Warning is conducting a market survey to identify potential industry sources capable of providing Vehicle Integrated Platform Enhanced RADIAC (VIPER) development, testing and platform integration support.
VIPER provides rapid and accurate monitoring of platform crew exposure to radiological and nuclear hazards replacing the legacy AN/VDR-2 and AN/UDR-13 systems developed in the 1970s and 1980s. It modernizes the platform mounted monitoring capabilities used across the U.S. Army’s currently fielded manned ground and aviation platforms.
This is a standalone capability designed to integrate into various Army ground-based and aviation platforms. VIPER provides network capable, integrated gamma dose rate, total dose and prompt dose detection and monitoring both inside and outside of platforms.
