Advanced EOD Robotic System Draft Documentation Package All interested parties are invited to request the Advanced Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robotic System (AEODRS) draft documentation package which will be available on or about December 15, 2010. The AEODRS is anticipated to be a family of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) that will be used by Joint Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) forces to counter the threat posed by improvised explosive devices (IED) and unexploded ordnance (UXO). The AEODRS family of UGVs is expected to consist of a dismounted operations variant, a tactical variant, and a base/infrastructure operations variant that share a common logical, electrical, and physical architecture and that are all controlled by a common operator control unit (OCU). The draft documentation package will describe the common architecture being used across the family and include performance specifications for the dismounted operations variant. The draft documentation package is being made available as part of continued communication with industry, academia, and other Government agencies regarding the AEODRS program. Requesters should note that the documentation package will be in draft form and is subject to change after the release without notice. The Government anticipates future releases of the documentation package which will be announced separately. To request the draft documentation package provide your name, company/organization name, address, telephone number, and email address to Melody Harvey, e-mail
[email protected], no later than December 1, 2010. This announcement is for information only, does not constitute an invitation for bid or Request for Proposal, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a contract or order. Requesting the draft documentation package is not a prerequisite for ultimately submitting any future proposals. The Government will not pay for any effort expended in making the request or any effort expended after receipt of the package. Instructions for providing comments to the Government regarding the draft documentation package will be included with the release.
