The Contractor shall provide dynamic robotic targetry services on two (2) separate live fire ranges simultaneously, with two (2) mobile targets employed on each lane.
1.2 Background: Due to limitations in conventional moving target systems currently available, the United States is actively exploring solutions for mobile robotic targetry. Presently, the only viable option involves lateral movement on a rail system that requires excavation and installation. However, due to shortages in the inventory of conventional moving targets and rail systems, alternative approaches are being sought.
1.3 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and maintainance to perform services as described in the PWS and associated contract documents. Contractor shall perform to the standards and acceptable quality levels identified in this PWS and associated contract documents.
1.4 Objectives: The objective of this contract is to improve the realism and difficulty of live fire training scenarios by supplementing current TADS with:
· Remote control/ execution of pre-programmed routes of Robotic Targets (long duration multi-target operation, day & night, beyond the visual range)
· Realistic three-dimensional targets that can be shot from any direction (capable of autonomously exposing limited target around cover / concealment).=
· Reactive to hits: instant target visual feedback (stopping movement, dropping flat) Configurable to tolerate multiple hits, reduce speed, flinch, and produce sound effects. Adjacent targets programmable to react in a coordinated fashion
· Rated to receive impacts of up to 7.62mm ammunition fired from a fully-automatic machine gun.
· Geo-fence capable to ensure Surface Danger Zone can be consistently managed within range constraints
· Targetry killswitch and FSR operator to control multiple target sets in accordance with the Scheme of Maneuver
