Request for information (RFI).

Posted on September 4, 2018 via Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) under W56HZV-18-R-0190, informs the EHETS Analysis of Alternatives Study.

The purpose of a RFI to industry is twofold:

Solicit feedback from industry on potential design trades (cost, schedule, performance) given EHETS vehicle characteristics needed by the US Army.

Gather technical performance data needed to perform system level analysis and inform operational effectiveness analysis, cost analysis and schedule risk analysis.

In order to address these two purposes, the study team developed the RFI.

EHETS Industry Day Workshop Request for Information

The companies registered for a session two, 30 minute company specific meeting shall be prepared to brief the USG on possible EHETS solution(s) and address the following:

Identify whether or not industry can offer a solution or solutions capable of performing to the vehicle characteristics depicted in the EHETS RFI (W56HZV-18-R-0190) Identify whether solutions are commercial or need to be modified to meet the vehicle characteristics.

Identify which EHETS vehicle characteristics may require development. What changes to these vehicle characteristics would be recommended in order to achieve them with commercial or modified commercial solutions?

Identify which vehicle characteristics may make it more difficult to provide three prototype assets within 6-12 months of a prototype contract award.

Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHETS) Vehicle Characteristics Brief

Background The EHETS operates worldwide on primary and secondary roads in all climatic conditions Its primary mission is to transport an M1 series Main Battle Tank (MBT) and other tracked, and wheeled vehicles The system will provide line haul, local haul, and maintenance evacuation of heavy tracked and wheeled equipment and equivalent cargo loads during tactical operations both on primary and secondary roads worldwide Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS) are currently located in Component; I-Active Army, II-Army National Guard, III-United States Army Reserve and US Army Prepositioned Stock, CONUS as well as the OCONUS locations such as Europe and Korea Current HETS payload is rated for 70 tons Upgrades to the MBT, increased weight to 78.5 tons combat configured (FY20 First Unit Equipped)

Support Starts Here!

Operational Mission Profile

Mission Profile:

To transport, deploy and evacuate MBTs Primary Roads – 70% Secondary Roads – 30% Operate CONUS and OCONUS across a range of Military Operations Speed on Grade:

Compatibility of EHETS with Highway Transport Highway is the most common transport mode and is essential for both strategic and tactical deployment as well as day-to-day operations Major EHETS design considerations for highway transport in CONUS and OCONUS EHETS has the challenge to obtain road permits/road credits worldwide The EHETS dimensions, total weight, and axle loads exceed worldwide legal limits

**Germany has stated tractor axles under 10 metric tons and trailer axles under 12 metric tons with axles spacing of 1.3m – 1.8m can get permits

Examples of Highway Legal Limits

Compatibility of EHETS with Highway Transport

Obtaining permits is generally a case by case process because:

Allowable axle loads vary by location and route Axle loads and spacing affect loading on bridges and overpasses Routine versus one time movement can weigh into the decision Turning radius needed to negotiate highways, intersections, and traffic circles

Distribution A: Approved for Public Release: distribution is unlimited

Compatibility of EHETS with Rail Transport Rail transport is essential for the movement of oversized and overweight equipment Avoids timely process for obtaining road permits and/or road credits Generally cheaper than highway transport when shipping many items Major EHETS Design Considerations for Rail Transport EHETS needs to fit and be secured on wider railcars worldwide Wider railcars are shorter to meet rail clearances due to car swing in and swing out issues Wider railcars vary from 68 feet down to 49.2 feet long EHETS needs to consider if minimum amount of wheels are supported by railcar deck Existing HETS, 8 wheels per axle line, has 2 wheels exceeding the width of all railcars.

US Railroads require 75% or more of tires be supported by rail deck Wider railcars vary from 125 inches down to 122 inches wide

Compatibility of EHETS with Ship Transport During strategic deployments, most military equipment will be transported by ship The type of ships that will be used include breakbulk (general cargo), container, roll-on/roll-off (RORO), and barge-carrying Lighter Aboard Ship (LASH) and SEABEE ships

Major EHETS design considerations for Sealift Break over angles to clear main RORO ramp and interior ship ramps Turning radius to position on decks and navigate interior ship ramps Fit within ship holds and decks Fit within hatch dimensions for lifting operations

(U) Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHETS) BREAK – submit 3x5 question cards Question and Answer Forum
