*UPDATE* W15QKN-18-X-036H (As of 7 August 2018)
The purpose of this Modification/Amendment is to provide responses to the following questions:
QUESTION 1: Please clarify the required quantity of the PSR-SS prototypes.
RESPONSE 1: Anticipated prototype quantities that will go through ruggedization test are 4 to 10 each.
QUESTION 2: Please clarify which weapon system(s) will utilize the PSR-SS prototypes.
RESPONSE 2: M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle (ESR), M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS), and commercially-off-the-shelf .338NM bolt action guns.
QUESTION 3: Will the PSR-SS prototypes be required to be compatible with the Family of Weapon Sights-Sniper (FWS-S)?
RESPONSE 3: Currently, we anticipate the prototype to interface with INOD and PVS-30, and FWS-S once it becomes available. Center axis of our day and night optical devices when mounted to sniper guns are 1.5-inches above rail.
