1.0 Objective

1.1 The objective of this effort is to support an Urgent Materiel Release (UMR)
and have First Unit Equipped of Trophy installed on an Armor Brigade
Combat Teams M1A2 SEPv2. The United States Government (USG)
schedule is the current baseline/reference for overarching project and is
provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI).

1.2 This WD provides engineering technical services, problem resolution during
integration of a Vehicle Protection System (VPS) onto an Abrams platform,
and test site support during USG testing. The effort takes the initial A-kit

design (developed under WD 2008 on contract W56HZV-17-C-0067) and
refines it to include additional integration, fabrication of A-kits to support
USG testing, logistic products development, and increased capability of the
Trophy integrated software.

1.3 Background: The USG has a Government-to-Government agreement with
Israel. The agreement allows direct interaction with the Israeli Ministry of
Defense whom provide the support from the Trophy system OEM (Rafael).
Rafael support provides the technical expertise to operate the Trophy
system, measure overall Trophy performance, and provide/collect test data.
The awarded WD with GDLS allows for engineering services, problem
resolution for the A-kit, and test site support during the USG UMR phase.
