Description
1. Objective: This Request for Information (RFI) is issued to request information from private entities (academic, non-profit and commercial) regarding capabilities related to passive applique Mobile Camouflage Systems for military combat vehicle platforms.

There is no disadvantage to a respondent focusing only on one subsection: the Government values insight into a respondent-s capabilities even limited to only one focus area.
2. Background: Ground combat vehicles are increasingly vulnerable to a wide range of modern threats, including sophisticated multi-spectral sensors, satellite and ground-based radar, precision-guided munitions, and unmanned aerial systems. Traditional static camouflaging methods are not applicable when vehicles are moving or operating in dynamic environments, leaving them susceptible to detection and engagement. The Army requires a robust Mobile Camouflage System (MCS) to significantly reduce vehicle signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum - from visual and infrared to radar - enabling enhanced survivability, mission effectiveness, and freedom of maneuver in contested operational spaces. This capability is critical for mitigating risks to soldiers and maintaining a decisive advantage on the battlefield.
Beyond paint, the current methods of protecting combat vehicles on the move, or in hasty halt positions, include affixing either organic material, like freshly-cut branches, or scraps of Ultra-Lightweight Camouflage Net System (ULCANS) netting to the top and ...
