PdM FTS Topic: Opposing Forces Mechanized Vehicle Replacement (OMVR)

Opposing Forces Mechanized Vehicle Replacement (OMVR)

The OMVR will consist of a common Army tracked platform that uses modular, visual modifications (VISMODs) that will replicate visual, thermal, electromagnetic, and aural signatures. This capability will allow the Opposing Forces to replicate five of the six warfighting functions. This replication will train Army units to synchronize all ISR assets available to the BCT, present threat representative tracked/mechanized vehicles and formations to the RTU across the depth and breadth of the training area and provide the OPFOR for the Army with a sustainable system that is safe for Soldiers to operate and maintain.

PM CT2 is currently pursuing a task award under TReX II for the development, prototyping, and testing of VISMODS. In addition to developing and delivering VISMODS, CT2 will receive ODS-SAs and M2A3s to deliver alongside the VISMODS. The BFVs will be vetted through RRAD in order to reset the vehicles and prepare them for VISMOD installation at the CTCs. 407-384-5252

Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT)

The Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT) includes aviation (RVCT-A) and ground (RVCT-G) maneuver platforms, and dismounted Soldier sets that enable mission rehearsal, gunnery, and collective maneuver training. The RVCT represents a mobile, transportable, modular, and scalable training capability with the minimum hardware necessary to represent form, fit, and function to enable execution of collective tasks and essential training. This design allows RVCT modules to easily maintain concurrency at a cost significantly more affordable than the Army’s legacy collective trainers while also delivering a more realistic virtual training environment that will enhance the Army’s overall readiness. The RVCT architecture and design will support interoperability with the future Next Generation Constructive (NGC) and Live Training Environments, and other Synthetic Training Environments (STE) and operational capabilities.

• The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24), signed into law on 22 December 2023, signals significant changes across the defense acquisition and contracting landscape, and includes the following provisions promoting small businesses.

• Strengthening Subcontractor Payment Protocols (Section 862):

➢The amendment to the Small Business Act within the NDAA focuses on safeguarding subcontractors against delayed payments. Prime contractors are now required to report past due payments within 30 days, which is a significant reduction from the previous 90-day requirement. This amendment expands the oversight capabilities of Contracting Officers, enabling them to rectify unjustified payment delays effectively.

CONTRACTORS SMALL AND LARGE

CONTRACTORS SMALL AND LARGE

• Affiliate Performance Consideration for Small Businesses (Section 865):

➢Amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to factor in the past performance of small business affiliates during evaluations and source selections.
