Weapons Test Facility (WTF) Ballistic Data

The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for systems that provide ballistic data and shot placement for use in small caliber (≤.50 Cal) testing. This preferred data must include bullet flight, muzzle velocity, accuracy, and muzzle energy. The system must be able to function with fully automatic weaponry. The equipment must be simple to use and require less than three personnel to function. The equipment must be able to function in an indoor range up to 50m. Equipment must be capable to export data to Windows computer; common software (i.e. Excel) is preferable. The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined.
