HOT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

This RFI is seeking to refine and clarify Soldier Virtual Trainer (SVT), Joint Fires Trainer (JFT), and Use of Force (UoF) requirements/statements of needs, as well as to understand industry capabilities and potential vendors better.   The Government anticipates this RFI will lead to a future Request for Solutions (RFS) release that may result in one or more Other Transaction (OT) Agreement(s) prototype system solution(s). 

SVT seeks to develop a training system that supports three training capabilities through the SVT Core. The SVT Core is centralized common hardware and software supporting three training capabilities: Weapons Skills Development (WSD), JFT, and UoF SVT will provide Soldiers the ability to pre-qualify and certify with WSD, UoF, and JFT tasks.  SVT will increase the quality and quantity of realistic training task repetitions, accelerate and sustain Soldier skill target acquisition, and increase Soldier lethality and unit readiness.

The goal for SVT Core is to integrate into the Synthetic Training Environment Software (STE-SW). STE-SW consists of Training Simulation Software (TSS), Training Management Tool (TMT), and One World Terrain (OWT). SVT Core and WSD have been previously awarded and are currently in development.  The focus of this RFI is JFT and UoF only.

The Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation, Project Manager (PM), Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, seeks information on currently available UASs. The PM will assess the responses to determine which vendors are deemed the most likely to fulfill a Replicator initiative or future competition successfully and may invite those vendors to participate in a demonstration of their proposed capability. 

UAS Information sought:  PM UAS seeks information on currently available, low-cost UAS to support unit training and operations.  Desired capabilities include day/night visual capability (electro-optical and infrared), flight endurance of 30 minutes, and a range of 1-5 kilometers.   The desired system cost is less than $3,000 each.  The UAS must be eligible for the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Blue List (2020 NDAA Sec 848 and 2023 NDAA Sec 817 compliant) or demonstrate a path to compliance. 

The definition of a complete uncrewed aircraft system includes the air vehicle with day/night visual capability and ancillary equipment.  This ancillary equipment includes a command and control solution, batteries, cabling, spare parts, operator/maintenance manuals, and packaging.

The Strategic and Operational Rockets and Missiles (STORM) Project Management Office (PMO), Program Executive Office Missiles and Space issued a Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) to ascertain the level of interest vendors desiring to contract for the development and production of a new Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Munitions (MFOM) Joint Reduced Range Rocket (JR3). The Government is interested in a JR3 that is a representative model or prototype system in an All-Up Round configuration, which can be tested in a relevant environment in preparation for rapid development or fielding, qualification, and production. This solution must be suitable for integration on currently fielded M270 MLRS or M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) variants launchers.  The solution must achieve production-level maturity by Fiscal Year (FY) 2028.
