SOLDIER SUPPORT EQUIPMENT - AD

Abstract

The Gunshot Detection System (GDS) was identified by the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army for insertion into the Capabilities Development for Rapid Transition (CDRT) process. A Capabilities Production Document (CPD) was approved on 13 Feb 2009. On 3 May 2010 an Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) was approved for 13,424 systems. The system uses passive acoustic and / or another sensor modality for detection, computer-based signal processing, and both aural and visual indications to help troops locate a hostile shooter, by reporting relative shooter azimuth, range, and elevation from incoming small arms fire. The visual data is displayed on a single ruggedized display and the verbal/voice over a speaker. FY 2011 efforts for Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Robotic and Dismounted Equipment - Design, prototype, integration and demonstration in support of the following efforts: Robotic Telescoping Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) Camera; High Fidelity Video Imaging; Bangstick; Improved Laser Sight for Pan Disrupter; Multishot Disrupter for Robot Applications; Ultra Lightweight MK2 EOD Disrupter; and Precision Disrupter Robotic Aiming System. The FY 2013 funds will be used for the development of engineering documentation, generation of an Acquisition Requirements Package (ARP) to support conduct of Source Selection activities leading to a competitive contract award in FY2014.
