[superstartup]

Following ITT successful field test of the joint contaminated surface detector (JCSD), here is the next stage details (released in May 09) (with minor additions from me with DD from other US Army websites):

–Effort Description:
•Transition CUGR ACTD (COMPLETED) to Acquisition in FY09
–Schedule: FY10-FY15
–Acquisition Approach:
•Full and Open Competition
•Multiple Prototypes Leading to EMD (Engineering and Manufacturing Development)
•Program Acquisition Strategy
–Market Research Ongoing (Jun / Jul 09)
–RFP 4QFY09

Joint Contaminated Surface Detector (JCSD)
–Prototypes with Options for EMD (Engineering and Manufacturing Development) & Production
4QFY09

If i'm not wrong, 4QFY09 is 1 Jul 09 to 30 Sep 09 (summer 09). No wonder Bob Battis keeps indicating he expects to deliver the smaller-sized prototype to ITT / US Army in summer 09 (for the Acquisition Programme?).

Looking great! If the ITT / LNGT JCSD is accepted under the Acquisition Programme in 4QFY09 (now), the next stage would be production, and then installation into the various military vehicles.
