-- SURVIVABILITY FOR TACTICAL WHEELED VEHICLES MARKET SURVEY TAR-R 2006-09

The U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) is conducting a market survey aimed at identifying emerging technologies to improve the survivability of Tactical Wheeled Vehicles (TWVs) within the 2010-2017 timeframe. This initiative focuses on advanced protection systems for the vehicle crew, passengers, and the vehicles themselves, seeking innovations in armor, blast protection, signature management, crew safety, non-lethal defense measures, sensors, electronic countermeasures, and enhancements such as laser vision protection, driver vision improvements, and threat detection technologies. The goal is to integrate these developments into comprehensive survivability suites to meet both current and future operational demands of the Army’s TWV fleet. The market survey, posted by the U.S. Army TACOM at Detroit Arsenal, invites industry participants to contribute knowledge of relevant advancements. The effort is managed under the solicitation number USA-SNOTE-060824-002 by the Department of Defense, specifically the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom office. The survey serves as a foundational step in leveraging cutting-edge technologies to enhance protective capabilities and situational awareness for tactical vehicles, ensuring increased safety and mission effectiveness for military personnel operating in diverse and potentially hostile environments. Interested parties are directed to review the survey details and submit questions via designated contact channels.
