Background

NSWC Crane, Mobility Systems Engineering Branch (MXPQ) provides project oversight, engineering, and logistics for the DoD, PM-FOSOV and US Marine Corps mobility platforms across life cycle, from conceptual design development, and engineering field support. The scope of this effort shall include integrated prototypes, engineering development models (EDM), testing and low-rate initial production (LRIP). To continually adapt to evolving warfare landscapes and mission scenarios, the Government is in the process of providing the best material solutions for new and legacy ground mobility vehicles utilized by various DoD components and Special Operation Forces.

Requirements

MXPQ supports the engineering and development of mobility platforms from Engineering Concepts derived from Customer Needs to New Equipment Training of Developed and Tested Mobility Systems into the hands of the warfighter operators. The Mobility Prototyping Contract will focus on the initial development, testing, and user evaluations during the Systems Life Cycle of vehicles and mobility components.

The efforts under this contract shall be separated into four Technology Areas in order to gain industry subject matter experts specific to each technology area.

The Technology Areas are:

  • Powertrain Performance Prototyping
  • Advanced Chassis, Body and Mobility Handling Prototyping
  • Mobility Testing Services
  • General Prototype Fabrication and Integration
