Industry Day - Soft Kill Active Protection System

Background
The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is hosting an Industry Day for the Soft Kill Active Protection System (APS) as part of their initiative to enhance vehicle protection systems.

The goal of this contract is to develop a system that protects Ground Combat Vehicles (GCVs) from anti-armor munitions by detecting threats and engaging appropriate countermeasures. This event serves to inform industry members about the requirements for the Soft Kill APS.

Work Details
The Soft Kill APS must be capable of detecting incoming threats, identifying suitable countermeasure responses, and engaging or neutralizing those threats.

Key requirements include:
- Modularity: The system should easily integrate future sensor and countermeasure solutions that comply with the Modular Active Framework (MAF).
- Safety Compliance: The design, development, testing, and production must meet rigorous documentation standards for Safety Review Board requirements.
- Expandability: The software and architecture must be modular and capable of evolving with other systems as MAF standards develop.

Additionally, the event will feature a briefing on these requirements, with questions submitted in advance through the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC).

Place of Performance
The event will be held at the Velocity Center, located at 6633 18 Mile Rd, Sterling Heights, MI 48314.
