AI Contract Overview

The contract concerns the United States Marine Corps’ Light Armored Vehicle Command and Control (LAV-C2) Upgrade Program aimed at modernizing the vehicle’s communications suite to enhance digital and voice connectivity for intelligence, fire support, and maneuver elements during amphibious and subsequent operations ashore. The upgrade will employ an open communications network architecture utilizing existing legacy equipment while allowing the integration of advanced technologies, such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) expected to be fielded in fiscal year 2009. The acquisition strategy emphasizes using non-developmental, tested, or near-ready sub-systems to minimize risk and ensure seamless future upgrades through an open architecture. Key components targeted for upgrade include the intercom, radio suite, server, and workstation systems, selected through detailed user input and analytical decision-making processes. To support this initiative, an Industry Day event was scheduled for September 22, 2004, at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Georgia. This event, sponsored by the Program Manager’s Office for Light Armored Vehicles, provides defense contractors and vehicle integrators the chance to familiarize themselves with the LAV-C2A1 vehicle and the upgrade program. Attendees can inspect and take measurements from an existing vehicle and obtain comprehensive information regarding the upgrade requirements and solicitation process. The program seeks full and open competition for proposals to integrate the selected upgrades into prototype vehicles, fostering innovation and ensuring the delivery of cutting-edge command and control capabilities to the Marine Corps.

Full Description

LAV-C2 UPGRADE INDUSTRY DAY - SEPTEMBER 22, 2004 - ALBANY, GA. The United States Marine Corps Light Armored Vehicle, Command and Control (LAV-C2) is a tactical vehicle that provides the necessary voice and data connectivity to intelligence, fire support, and maneuver elements in support of the Light Armored Reconnaiss ance (LAR) battalion or independent LAR company units during amphibious operations and subsequent operations ashore. The LAV-C2 Upgrade Program will address the modernization of the communications suite in order to provide digital and voice traffic. It w ill result in an open communications network architecture using legacy equipment while allowing for the drop-in of advanced, affordable communications technologies as they are matured and fielded (e.g., the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) to be fielded in FY09). The LAV-C2 acquisition strategy will focus on integrating non-developmental sub-systems. The candidate sub-systems have either been tested and fielded or are under development and will meet the required technology readiness level in order to mi nimize program risk. Open architecture will allow seamless integration of next generation sub-systems. The intercom, radio suite, server, and workstation upgrades to be included in the LAV-C2 upgrade program have been selected utilizing user surveys, Qua lity Functional Deployment (QFD), Pugh concept selection process, and trade studies. A full and open competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) will specify that the selected upgrades are to be integrated into the prototype vehicles. An industry day sponsore d by the Program Managers Office, Light Armored Vehicle (PM-LAV) will be held at the Crossroads Restaurant, Building 7450 on Radford Blvd, Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia. The industry day will commence at 0900 on 22 September 2004. This in dustry day is designed to provide defense vehicle integrators with an opportunity to become familiar with the LAV-C2A1 vehicle and the C2 upgrade program. Participants will have an opportunity to inspect and measure an existing LAV-C2A1 vehicle. Addition al information on the C2 Upgrade Program and Industry Day can be found on theLAV-C2 Upgrade Program webpage at http://contracting.tacom.army.mil/majorsys/C2/C2.htm.
