Combat Vehicle Robotics (CoVeR)

Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) intends to issue a Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP) for the Combat Vehicle Robotics (CoVeR) program of record under the Ground Vehicle Systems Other Transaction Agreement (GVS OTA), W15QKN-17-9-1025-RPP18-8. Ground Vehicle Systems Other Transaction Agreement (GVS OTA) W15QKN-17-9-1025 was awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2371b, Section 815 of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, P.L 114-92. The RPP will request proposals for the Combat Vehicle Robotics (CoVeR) program to develop and integrate technologies that enable scalable integration of multi-domain robotic and autonomous systems. Moreover, this program is anticipated to develop the foundational technologies, methods, and interface to mature Weaponized Robotic Platforms. This Special Notice is for informational purposes only. A prototype project will not be awarded in response to this announcement. The purpose of this announcement is to provide members of the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC), and industry in general, advanced notification of Government intent to release the RPP to the NAMC membership. The RPP will be issued to the NAMC's Administrative Agent, the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), who will then issue the request to the NAMC.
