Objective
This Army SBIR project will develop field-level maintenance and repair of weapon systems electronics that shorten supply chain latency for electronic component repairs. The solution must screen electronic components for no evidence of failure at the source in the tactical unit.
This mitigates the high cost of discovering NEOF at higher echelons of maintenance. The Army wants faster weapon system repairs, faster component turn-around-times, high equipment operational availability and high unit readiness at lower life-cycle costs.
The Army is transitioning to a warfighting doctrine of Multi-Domain Operations in Large Scale Combat Operations. This doctrine emphasizes the vulnerability of contested Logistics supply chains and interdicted network bandwidth in the Tactical Echelon.
Both circumstances emphasize the need to have maintenance capabilities at the point of need on the battlefield without the need for support reach back. This project will significantly facilitate these capabilities.
Description
The Artificial Intelligence and Model-Based Systems Engineering topic will improve the development, operation and sustainment of Test Program Sets for the maintenance of electronic components of weapon systems.
It has direct relevance to all weapon systems and end items across all Army commodities, ranging from ground, air, missile to Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber Defense, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. Current TPS developments can take a year or more with costs ranging from over a million dollars per TPS. The Army needs over a thousand TPS for all types of weapon systems.
Phase I
The Army will only accept Phase I proposals for contracts worth up to $250,000 over a 6-month performance period.
Phase II
TPS hardware and software prototype development, critical design, test, integration, verification, validation and acceptance (per TPS development procedures outlined in DA PAM 750-43).
Phase III
Submission Information
All eligible businesses must submit proposals by noon, ET.
