Canonical: https://abierto.us/opportunities/w91atl01 - Solicitation number: W91ATL01 - Notice type: Special notice - Status: Closed. Deadline was December 17, 2024 at 3:00 PM EST - Department: Department of the Army - Agency: Department of the Army - Contracting office: W4GH CCDC Ground Vehicle Sys (W91ATL) - Place of performance: Warren, Michigan - County: Macomb County (FIPS 26099). https://abierto.us/counties/macomb-county-mi-26099 - City: Warren. https://abierto.us/cities/warren-mi-2684000 - First posted: November 18, 2024 - Last posted: November 18, 2024 - SAM.gov: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/08b6837f809d41a7aa78486ba11ace60/view ## Description The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), in conjunction with U.S. Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center (DEVCOM GVSC) Vehicle Electronics and Architecture (VEA), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the procurement of an Embedded High Performance Computing for Ground Vehicle Edge Processing (EHPCGVEP) solution for U.S. Army Ground Combat Vehicles. A EHPCGVEP is a computing device that balances edge computing and centralized computing. GVSC - VEA is requesting information on all potential Embedded High Performance hardware solutions that address EHPCGVEP. However, VEA is not soliciting enterprise EHPCGVEP solutions at this time. Current U.S. Army Ground Combat vehicles intend to make use of emerging technologies to balance edge and centralized computing. These needs are based upon new features and capabilities to support fused sensor data with enough processing capacity to support additional capabilities including, but not limited to, Aided Target Detection/Recognition (AiTDR), Automated Lethality, Survivability, and Defense. The goal is to take current algorithms for these technologies as well as Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities and evaluate them for true processing needs. The objective of this RFI is to better understand the availability and capabilities of products and the potential of manufacturers in both processor and processing technologies as well as gaining an understanding of total package integration challenges. The goal is to find that equilibrium balance of edge and centralized computing. The information gathered by the U.S. Army through this RFI, along with other market investigation data, is solely intended for use by the U.S. Army and will not be shared with any company. Participation in this RFI provides an important opportunity to influence the U.S. Army’s approach to procuring the EHPCGVEP solution for U.S. Army Ground Combat Vehicles. The U.S. Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. This is a RFI ONLY and is not a solicitation for proposals; therefore, no questions will be taken at this time. A prototype project will not be awarded in response to this announcement. ## Publications - November 18, 2024: Special notice, due December 17, 2024 at 3:00 PM EST.
