Performance Work Statement (PWS)

AUTONOMOUS LIVE-FIRE ROBOTIC TARGET SYSTEM

1.0 INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) requires a dynamic, live-fire training solution to enhance tactical marksmanship and maneuvering proficiency. To bridge the gap between static training and real-world operational demands, the Government requires the procurement of a complete, commercially available autonomous live-fire robotic target system.

2.0 SCOPE

The scope of this contract is to procure a complete, turn-key robotic target system. The Contractor shall provide all hardware, software, control stations, and accessories required for the full operation of the system.

3.0 SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS / MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The system must meet or exceed the following performance specifications:

• 3.1 System Power: The robotic target and its operator control unit must each be capable of a minimum of 8 hours of continuous operation on a single full charge.

• 3.2 Mobility: The robotic target must be capable of reaching a minimum top speed of 10 mph on a flat, even surface.

• 3.3 Command and Control Range: The command and control station must maintain a reliable, secure connection with the robotic target at a minimum Line of Sight (LOS) distance of 100 meters.

• 3.4 Target Material Durability: The target torso/strike face must withstand a minimum of 3,000 cumulative impacts from a mix of 5.56mm and 9mm frangible ammunition before requiring replacement. The torso must be field-interchangeable by the operator without the use of specialized tools.

• 3.5 Environmental Tolerance: The system must be fully operational within an ambient temperature range of 40°F to 85°F.

4.0 SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall deliver a robotic target system that includes the following components:

• Robotic Target Base System (Qty: 1): One armored robotic drive base, one live-fire sensor target (4-zone), one acoustic target (single-zone), charger, and transmitter.

• Command/Control Base Stations (Qty: 2): Non-networked, direct-RF base stations/transmitters, complete with antennas, chargers, and A/C adapters to serve as the C2 hub. Must be capable of point-to-point communication with the robotic targets without requiring external network infrastructure.

• Instructor Tablet (Qty: 2): standalone, non-networked ruggedized tablets or controller

6.0 INSTALLATION AND SETUP REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor is responsible for the full installation and operational verification of the target system on-site at Vandenberg SFB:

6.1 Unpacking and Assembly: The Contractor shall unbox, assemble, and securely mount the target bases and control structures at the designated training range location.

6.2 Calibration and Connectivity: The Contractor shall configure and calibrate the hit-detection sensors and establish a secure, interference-free RF connection between the target and both command stations at a minimum distance of 100 meters.

6.3 Site Acceptance Testing (SAT): The Contractor must conduct a physical, non-live-fire run test demonstrating target mobility, wireless control, and sensor hit-registration feedback to verify baseline functional operability before final Government acceptance.

6.4 Site Restoration: The Contractor shall clean up and remove all shipping crates, boxes, packing materials, and debris from the installation site upon completion.

7.0 Services Summary

Performance Objective

SOW reference Performance Threshold/Standard

Physical Hardware Assembly

6.1 All hardware (base, C2 stations, and target torsos) must be fully assembled, aligned, and physically secured with no loose, damaged, or missing fasteners/components.

RF Connectivity & Sensor Calibration

6.2 The Contractor must successfully establish a direct RF connection at a minimum range of 100 meters, and calibrate all hit-detection zones to accurately register dummy strikes.

Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) Execution

6.3 The Contractor must successfully run a complete operational check (moving the target through its full range of motion and verifying control station integration) with zero system faults.

Site Restoration & Waste Removal

6.4 The Contractor must clean the installation site, completely removing and disposing of all packing materials, crates, straps, and installation debris.
