Performance Work Statement (PWS)

To provide the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) with a stand-alone, highly mobile off-road test course and terrain measurement system, referred to as the Profilometer.

This is a non-personal services contract for a system comprising a prime mover with an integrated sensor suite, data collection hardware, and software. The system will traverse ATC test courses (over 1320 hectares) to collect terrain measurements, ensuring they meet specific roughness specifications and providing maintenance recommendations.

• Prime Mover: Rugged off-road capable vehicle, capable of traversing various terrain types (endurance, performance, secondary roads, cross-country, trails) with specific performance thresholds for angles, ground clearance, and speed. Must accommodate operator and trainee in all seasons, be operable on public roads, cleanable, and operable after storage. Must include backup camera and robust recovery provisions.
• Sensor Suite: Minimum requirements include micro-terrain measurement (scanning) instrumentation and an Inertial Navigation System (INS). Additional sensors may be included. The system must compensate for soil compressibility and measure terrain accurately.
• Software Package: Comprehensive package for sensor initiation, configuration, data collection, merging, reduction, analysis, and reporting. Outputs must be readable by MATLAB or Python. Specific outputs include surface scanner data, RMS profiles, INS/GPS data, XYZ points, distance/elevation profiles, CRG point cloud, and feature identification (potholes, washboarding, ruts, water presence).
• System Validation: Includes a Design Review, Initial System Test, and Final System Test to verify performance and robustness.
• Deliverables: The Profilometer system, complete documentation (system, operations, software, maintenance), and 12 months of warranty support.

Not explicitly stated, but implies operation on ATC test courses.

• Testing: System must undergo design review, initial system test, and final system test.
• Training: Vendor must provide system operation and maintenance training.
• Data Rights: US Government owns all rights, title, and interest in data collected.
• Compliance: Software must be Army Golden Master (AGM) Compliant. Sensor signage must comply with ANSI Z136.1 or similar. System mounting must withstand MIL-STD-810H Large Assembly Transport. Environmental resistance (mud, dust) must be IP65 or IP67 compliant.

This document, DD Form 1423-1, is a Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL). It specifies the data items required from the contractor as part of the contract.

• Data Item No. C: Final System Test
• Authority: FAR 9.308-2
• Contract Reference: C.3.2.4.1
• Frequency: One (1) Time
• First Submission Date: To be determined (See block 16)
• Remarks: Details the requirements for the final system test, which will be conducted on ATC test courses. The test will measure system performance across primary, secondary, and cross-country terrain with various obstacles. Results will be compared to existing measurements for accuracy and capturability. The system hardware will undergo 5 laps of ATC vibration courses (MIL-STD-810H Large Assembly Transport) to ensure robustness. Key focus areas include sensor performance, data communications, integration results, user interface operation, data processing tools, and resultant information analysis.

This CDRL outlines a critical deliverable: the Final System Test. Bidders should review the "Remarks" section carefully to understand the scope, objectives, and specific areas of focus for this test. This information is crucial for understanding the performance and validation requirements of the system being procured and may influence technical proposals or pricing.
