A. Objective:

To find sources that are qualified to meet the supplies/services as listed in section 11B. Note that the specific requirements in section C are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation.

B. The Government requires a motion capture system that utilizes technology for optical tracking of actively illuminated markers in an outdoor environment. The Government intends on obtaining the required solution in a two phase system. The first phase will allow the vendors to demonstrate the current capability of their motion capture systems and to prepare a design for extension of that capability to meet the requirements listed below. The Government will then evaluate the proposals that include current systems as well as the designs to refine those systems, selecting the vendor with the highest score for the second phase of the procurement: a contract to fund the production of the refined solution.

The Contractors shall develop a system design to support small scale experiments of swarming projectiles meeting the following requirements:
