Underwater Testing Target
AI Summary
The Department of National Defence is seeking to procure an Underwater Testing Target (UTT) system that will provide autonomous mobile and static targets for the calibration, testing, and evaluation of Line‑of‑Fire‑Augmentation (LFA) sensors already in service and those slated for delivery under future initiatives. The UTT must be realized through the acquisition of proven commercial off‑the‑shelf (COTS) or militarized commercial off‑the‑shelf (MilCOTS) platforms that are already fielded, thereby reducing development risk and ensuring rapid deployment. The system will facilitate the validation of sensor functionality and performance characteristics, supporting the Defence’s broader efforts to maintain operational readiness in underwater environments.
The procurement will involve delivery to facilities in Nova Scotia and British Columbia, with suppliers required to provide the necessary documentation to satisfy Treasury Board policies concerning contracts awarded to former public servants, as stipulated in article 2.3 of Part 2 of the solicitation. While no explicit security classifications apply to this requirement, the UTT must adhere to the mechanical, acoustic, and operational performance requirements set forth by DND in its technical guidelines, ensuring full compatibility with existing LFA sensor suites and projected future systems.
