The United States Army, Office of the Project Manager, Close Combat Systems, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify potential sources having an interest and industry technologies available to support/provide the power sources for future Terrain Shaping Obstacle (TSO) systems.The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement, if a requirement

This is a Sources Sought (SS) notice being issued by the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), Armaments Center (AC), Munitions Engineering & Technology Center (METC), Fuze and Precision Armaments Directorate (FPAD), seeking companies interested in entering into Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) to study the design approach for future Close Terrain Shaping Obstacle (CTSO) bottom attack munitions.

The purpose of this amendment is to update the solicitation, add updated PWS and to publish Contractor Questions - Government Response.

This Agreement is for the development of Close Terrain Shaping Obstacle (CTSO) Increment 1 Common Anti-Vehicle Munition (CAVM) Based Top Attack (TA) System. The Army and Joint Forces require the capability to shape terrain with lethal obstacles across the battlespace. Lethal obstacles are a force multiplier that enable outnumbered joint forces to fight and win against near-peer enemies, while reducing friendly force casualties.

OBJECTIVE: Develop and demonstrate solutions or components of solutions for terrain shaping to delay, deter, and deny enemy forces freedom of movement 70–150km+ beyond the forward line of troops (FLOT). DESCRIPTION: The Army uses "terrain shaping" to impede enemy movement or operations. Terrain-shaping operations also help the mobility and survivability of friendly forces.

Research is also conducted in the areas of advanced construction designs, methodologies, and materials; contingency designs for extreme/austere environments; large scale additive construction; robotic terrain shaping and construction technologies; autonomous characterization and mapping of the environment; machine control and decision-making methodologies for autonomous control of heavy Engineer equipment and multi-platform collaboration and teaming
