• Having automatic obstacle avoidance and the ability to navigate around obstacles
• Being capable of surviving and navigating all relevant environments and terrains found on U.S. Army live-fire ranges
The contract will be for the development, production, and fielding of the NGTT FOP. The document includes detailed performance specifications for the targets, including requirements for range operation, GPS, deployability, terrain transability, environment, armor plating, charging interface, charging time, battery life, integration with legacy systems, and more.
