AI Contract Overview
Advanced Technology International (ATI) has issued a Request for Solutions under the Training and Readiness Accelerator II (TReX II) initiative, seeking innovative prototypes for Small Arms Orientation Devices and STE LTS Indirect Fire systems. This effort aims to enhance military readiness by developing devices that improve the accuracy and effectiveness of small arms engagements through advanced modeling, simulation, and training technologies. The targeted weapon orientation device must be compact and lightweight, comparable to existing laser small arms transmitters, with a battery life of at least 72 hours, capable of penetrating concealment and obscurants (excluding cover), and supporting precise ballistic engagement at ranges up to 1000 meters for human targets and 5000 meters for vehicles. The device should function accurately regardless of environmental interferences and allow for easy calibration, including engagement in low or no-light conditions and the ability to fire multiple-round bursts. For the STE LTS Indirect Fire system, the training device must efficiently capture all necessary firing information and integrate with digital gun data to replicate indirect fire effects during training exercises. It should minimize setup and teardown efforts and provide real-time, highly accurate feedback to forward observers using various targeting devices like binoculars or the Joint Engagement Targeting System (JETS), enabling impactful adjustments on the fly. The prototyping will be conducted over 12-month periods with mutually agreed objectives between vendors and the government. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense’s Orlando office with a solicitation deadline of July 9, 2026, and targets industry members capable of advancing these critical capabilities to increase warfighter readiness and mission effectiveness.

Full Description
This Special Notice is to advise interested members of the Training and Readiness Accelerator II (TReX II), as well as other interested members within the U.S. technology base, that a Request for Solutions (RFS) has been issued by Advanced Technology International (ATI) for Small Arms Orientation Device and STE LTS Indirect Fire.
The purpose of the Training and Readiness Accelerator II (TReX II) is to spur innovative development, demonstration, and expedited delivery of prototypes to increase Warfighter readiness via modeling, simulation, education/training, experimental validation, and military readiness focused projects. A consortium has been established to develop prototypes directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by the Department of Defense (DOD), or to improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the Armed Forces.
The end state is a weapon orientation device sufficiently accurate to support a ballistic model-based engagement for small arms. The device will penetrate concealment and obscurants but not cover) The device will have no more weight or size than the current laser small arms transmitter. The device will last at least 72 hours between battery changes. The prototyping will occur in 12-month Periods of Performance. The vendor and Government will agree on a set of objectives.
Desired Objectives
The weapon orientation device critical objectives include: accuracy to engage a human target at 1000 meters out to engaging a vehicle at 5000 meters; accuracy is not affected by training conditions such as metal or electromagnetic interference; easy to calibrate the system and infrequent re-calibrations required; ability to lead and elevate over a target; and ability to engage in low light or no-light conditions. In addition, the following are objectives providing trade space in the prototyping efforts: size and weight less than the current laser small arms transmitter, a 72-hour battery life, ability to engage through concealment and obscurants, and the ability to fire multiple round bursts.
Desired Objectives
At the firing unit (howitzer or mortar), the training device must collect all information needed to correctly replicate a firing event in the instrumentation system. The device must require minimal setup and tear down effort on the part of the unit.
The instrumentation system requires a tap into the digital gun data. The instrumentation system can use gun data to replicate indirect fire effects in a training event.
The forward observer must see the “notional” round impact near real time and with sufficient accuracy allowing the forward observer to adjust round impact. The forward observer may use different devices such as binoculars or Joint Engagement Targeting System (JETS).
