Acquisition of artillery systems and supporting logistics
The Contract encompasses 2 main contractual agreements — the Acquisition Contract and the Sustainment Contract (Annex Z to the Acquisition Contract). These two agreements are to be seen together as a whole that regulates the contractual relations between the Supplier and DALO.
The Acquisition Contract concerns primarily the delivery of artillery systems and initial logistics, such as documentation, training, support, initial spare parts, etc.
The Sustainment Contract covers the products and services that DALO needs in order to properly operate the artillery systems.
The contents of the Contracts can be elaborated as follows:
The Acquisition Contract:
The Acquisition Contract regards the delivery of 15 artillery systems. DALO has the option to order up to 6 additional artillery systems. The exact mechanism for DALO's use of options will be described in detail in the Acquisition Contract.
The artillery system must be self-propelled. Please note that an artillery system is not considered to be self-propelled by DALO if the artillery system consists only of a smaller transport system for the use of moving the artillery system on to/off a main transport vehicle.
The artillery system shall be able to fire non-assisted high explosives (HE) munitions at a minimum range of 40 kilometres and shall be able to operate all of the following types of 155 millimetre high explosive (HE) and smoke munitions: M107, NM28, LU211, M825, M116, DM45A1, when operating with the following bagged propellants: M4A1, M4A2 and M119A2.
The artillery system (primary weapon system) should be able to fire 6 shots as fast as possible.
The level of protection and armour shall be high with a minimum of level 2 protection against Grenade and Blast Mine threats (M2) and level 2 protection against Kinetic energy threats (K2) — all according to STANAG 4569 Ed. 2 (or later)(or equivalent).
The artillery system must be transportable by sea, cf. STANAG 4062 (or equivalent), by air, cf. STANAG 3400AT, Ed. 4 (or equivalent), by ground (road and railroad), cf. STANAG 2173 and STANAG 4062 (or equivalent).
The artillery system must furthermore be fully operable in the following climate zones: intermediate (A3), mild cold (C0) and intermediate cold (C1).
The weight potential of the artillery system should be over 3 000 kg.
A crew of maximum 5 persons shall be able to operate the artillery system (also under full CBRN protection). The artillery system shall also have the capacity necessary to carry the crew's personal equipment and small arms and shall have an air conditioning system capable of heating and cooling installed.
The artillery system shall 1) warn the personnel if there is a risk of auto ignition in the barrel and/or chamber, and 2) be designed so that the crew can perform an emergency stop of operation of the primary weapon system, and 3) be designed so that the crew carrying personal equipment is able to evacuate the artillery system in the situation where the main entrance is blocked, and 4) safeguard against unintended firing in case of primary weapon system malfunction.
The artillery system's electrical installation shall secure that the necessary starting power is always available.
With regards to the integration of the systems on the weapon platform systems including the fire control system with the Army Tactical Combat Network (ATCN) the following shall apply 1) It shall be possible to have a TCP/IP network connection between the weapon platform systems including the fire control system and ATCN on the weapon platform, 2) WebServices shall be available for the exchange of information between the primary weapon and the ATCN, 3) the Supplier shall deliver an interface description (IDD) for the offered WebServices, and 4) exchange of information between weapon platform systems including the fire control system and ATCN shall use one of the following data formats: APP-11(C) or MIL-STD-6017A (VMF).
The artillery system should — with the engine turned off — be able to power the information and communication facilities for as long as possible, without the use of an auxiliary engine or external power supply.
The artillery system shall be designed so that it is possible to 1) mount IR lighting covering the driver's entire field of view, and 2) operate the artillery system under full CBRN protection, and 3) switch off all sound and lighting signals used for manoeuvring when driving the artillery system.
The artillery system's electrical installation shall 1) secure that the necessary starting power is always available, and 2) be equipped with a main switch, and 3) be secured against electronic interference between the artillery system's respective electronic systems in accordance with MIL-STD 461F and MIL-STD-1275D (or equivalent).
The navigation system of the artillery system shall 1) be able to determine the position of the artillery system with a margin of error (CEP) less than 10 metres, and 2) shall be able to determine shot deflection with a margin of error less than 1 mils.
It shall be possible to adjust the primary weapon system of the artillery system with a total margin of error less than 2 mils in both azimuth and elevation.
The fire control system of the artillery system shall include software for calculation of fire mission that 1) complies with NATO standards for exterior ballistic trajectory simulation methodology, cf. STANAG 4355 (ed. 3) (or equivalent), and 2) is able to calculate TECHNICAL DATA based on autonomous insertion of fire mission data, and 3) incorporates the use of METCM, cf. STANAG 4082 ed. 2 (or equivalent).
The fire control system of the artillery system shall include non-editable log functionality containing as a minimum calculated fire mission data and muzzle velocity data.
The artillery systems shall as a minimum be 1) factory acceptance tested prior to delivery, and 2) site acceptance tested after delivery. The exact requirements for testing and acceptance test procedures will be described in detail in the Acquisition Contract.
In addition to the delivery of artillery systems, the Acquisition Contract includes delivery of an initial stock of spare parts, special tools and test equipment and documentation.
The Supplier shall furthermore train and educate DALO technicians and operators in the use and maintenance of the artillery systems. The contents of the training programme shall aim to produce self directed and problem-solving learners.
The Supplier shall have full system responsibility. This means that the Supplier maintains full responsibility for the fulfilment of the general fit for purpose obligation notwithstanding any changes, upgrades or modifications to the artillery systems made by DALO or third parties of any kind. This is conditioned, however, on such changes, modifications etc. being made in accordance with the Supplier's instructions. The exact terms and conditions for the Supplier's system responsibility will be described in detail in the Acquisition Contract.
The Sustainment Contract:
The Sustainment Contract encompasses core services and non-core services as well as the possibility for DALO to purchase supplies (spare parts, special tools etc.) for a period of 10 years. Core services shall be provided automatically as long as the contract is in force, while non-core services and supplies will be contracted by DALO on a case by case basis.
The services to be provided include:
(1) Meeting and Project Management: The Supplier shall have full responsibility for the overall meeting plan, participate in and report minutes of meetings.
(2) Configuration Management: The Supplier shall ensure optimal logistic support and unimpeded operational readiness through supervision and control of the configuration of the delivered documentation, manuals, components, and artillery systems.
(3) Damage Assessment: The Supplier shall on request perform Damage Assessment investigation on artillery systems.
(4) Training Services: The Supplier shall be able to support DALO with training plans, educational material,instructors and training equipment.
(5) System Integration Service: If the need for introduction of new GFE arises, the Supplier shall on request assist DALO by describing all the requirements that the GFE in question must comply with in order for both the GFE and the artillery systems to function as intended after the GFE has been installed in the artillery system.
(6) Information Management: The Supplier shall in collaboration with DALO set up a web portal for information management of the entire artillery system.
(7) Maintenance and monitoring services: The Supplier is obligated to support DALO with maintenance support when required.
