Representatives from BAE Systems, Thales and Elbit Systems will attend a presolicitation conference for the U.S. Army’s Common Helmet Mounted Display procurement program, Jane’s 360 reported Tuesday.
The Army Contracting Command said in a FedBizOpps notice posted Monday the conference for the CHMD requirement aims to inform industry about the upcoming acquisition, help companies establish teaming arrangements and allow the government to provide preliminary information on the procurement prior to the release of a request for proposals.
The Army plans to integrate the CHMD platform into the Raytheon-built Air Soldier system that works to provide situational awareness capabilities to helicopter pilots.
The system, also known as Aviation Warrior, has a wearable display designed to control aircraft systems and soldier-worn equipment and a data processing computer that works to provide sensor imagery, maps and messaging data.
