This document, DEF(AUST) 8484 - Artillery Replacement Project Functional Performance Specification (LAND 17), specifies the functional, performance and other technical requirements for Request For Tender (RFT) L17-07-RFT-SPH- Project LAND 17 (Artillery Replacement).

This document is divided into LAND 17 common requirements and requirements specific to each identified sub-system. Tenderers are provided with all common requirements plus those requirements relating to the package of interest. Additional requirements are provided as Advice clauses where necessary to assist understanding.

This Specification has been structured for commercial release and control as specified in the contractual documents.

1.2 System Overview

Project LAND 17 (Artillery Replacement) will assist in maximising the ADF's fighting power through the delivery of a networked, enduring, all weather indirect fire capability that is modular, provides scaleable and precise lethal and non-lethal effects, coordinates all available joint and coalition fires and interfaces with the ADF's networked manoeuvre and Surveillance and Target Acquisition assets. It will be primarily structured and organised to provide close support artillery and also provide the ADF manoeuvre commander with an improved ability to conduct depth/shaping operations through the systems access to organic (to Army) long range precision fires. Close support artillery is the engagement of targets of immediate concern to manoeuvre units and the provision of timely, intimate, offensive and defensive fire to those units. The LAND 17 system shall provide the ability for tactical control and coordination of Joint and Coalition assets. This control and coordination will be performed through data enabled systems.

LAND 17 will be a system of systems. Five sub-systems have been identified in the Indirect Fire System (IFS) -Operational Concept Document (OCD) which was endorsed by the Defence Capability Committee (DCC) in October 2004 and in documentation presented to Government at First Pass. These sub-systems are:- Ammunition,- Target acquisition,- Command and control,- Delivery platforms, and- Combat service support.

These sub-systems will constitute both the Mission System and the Support System, and combine to generate and coordinate indirect fire, and other joint and coalition lethal and non-lethal effects across the land battlespace.

Description

LAND 17 will provide the ADF with an enhanced Indirect Fire support capability through to approximately 2025-2030. The enhanced capability will be achieved by either replacement or enhancement of each existing sub-system (or elements within it).

LAND 17 will seek to achieve a range of contract deliverables including:Precision enhancements for general natures of munitions, offering greater precision at range (specifically Course Correcting Fuses);Provision of a Battle Management System - Fires (BMS-F) that will network the terminal control elements (FO), C2/tactical coordination and fire direction elements (JOSCC and FDCs), and the launcher platforms. The BMS-F will integrate all components of the system into an efficient, networked structure. The BMS-F will tactically coordinate and terminally control land based fires as well as Offensive Air Support (OAS) and Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS);Provision of upgraded or new firing platforms, Able to deliver indirect fire support to ADF manoeuvre units at greater ranges, and with enhanced efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness. Different solutions will be required to meet the deployment and capability needs of different land force formations; and Provision of upgraded or new target acquisition equipment for the FO suitable for the tactical control and coordination of joint fires with the ability to provide targeting data to all ADF response platforms (OAS and NSFS).

3 REQUIREMENTS3.1 Missions

The mission for the LAND 17 system is to establish such fire supremacy in the battlespace that threats can neither interfere with friendly operations nor effectively develop their own. To achieve this mission, the system must complete two essential tasks. Those tasks are to:a. provide protective Indirect Fire to support the close battle; andb. employ Indirect Fire to shape the battlespace.

3.1.1 Support the Close Battle

The LAND 17 system is required to suppress, neutralise and destroy threat targets in support of the land forces in the close battle on the complex battlefield. These are tactical engagements that will occur in close proximity to our ground forces and often with little warning. In these cases, the generation of fire supremacy will need to be responsive, accurate and scalable. Essential to these engagements is the coordination and delivery of Joint and Coalition lethal and non-lethal effects in both time and space against targets that are of immediate concern, and in close proximity, to ground forces. This type of fire is usually protective in nature. Joint and Coalition control and coordination for NSFS and OAS will be via the LAND 17 BMS-F with established protocols.

The offensive support system supporting the close battle must possess similar mobility and protection as the supported force, and have sufficient range coverage (both maximum and minimum) to obviate the need for redeployment in order to support ground forces. This will enhance the manoeuvrecommander's ability to create tempo. Specific types of Joint and Coalition fires required to achieve this task area. Preparatory Fire. Preparatory fire is employed in support of an assault and aims to weaken the enemy's resistance by disrupting, disorganising or neutralising their defence; or by demoralising the enemy so that they will offer little or no resistance to the assaultb. Covering Fire. Covering fire is employed during the attack and counter-attack to protect assaulting troops by neutralising or suppressing enemy direct fire weapons. Neutralisation is achieved when the enemy is prevented from manoeuvring, observing ground forces and using weapons effectively. Covering fire needs to be potentially lethal, intense and continuous.c. Defensive Fire. Defensive fire is designed to disorganise enemy preparations for an attack or counter-attack and to break up their assault.d. Destruction. Through the use of precision munitions, artillery will be Capable of performing destruction of hardened targets in support of the close and deep battle, including those in urban and complex/restricted terrain, while limiting collateral damage. Destructive fires must not only destroy hardened targets, but with minimal adverse effects on non-targets and supported forces. Munitions must provide the needed lethality, as well as the capability to deliver controlled, lethal effects specifically where they are needed. Destructive fires will need to be accurate, responsive, and primarily with an autonomous capability (fire & forget) or terminally guided for additional flexibility and accuracy (Semi Active

Laser). Accurate and responsive are adequate requirements for the balance of conventional munitions in service through the use of add on course correcting fuses. In many scenarios, external designation (like lasers) to guide precision munitions - requiring eyes-on-target - is not feasible. In those situations, autonomous munitions (GPS/INS, MMW, IR, etc) are necessary. In other scenarios, particularly in close support where close-in effects are needed, externally designated munitions (like SAL) to provide pinpoint effects will be beneficial.

3.1.2 Shape the Battlespace

In shaping the battlespace, the LAND 17 system must be Able to destroy point targets such as air defence systems and headquarters, and area targets such as massed forces, individual armoured vehicles and hostile indirect fire units. This task requires the coordination and delivery of precise and discriminate Joint and Coalition lethal and non-lethal effects that can be generated beyond the immediate battle. The specific types of fire required to achieve this task are:a. Reinforcing Fire. The aim of reinforcing fire is to supplement the fire delivered by fire units in direct support of the ground force. Joint or Coalition assets can provide reinforcing fires.b. Harassing Fire. Harassing fire is delivered on positions and lines of communication in order to interfere with movement and preparation, to force early deployment and to interrupt or prevent rest. It is normally planned and coordinated at task force or joint force headquarters level.c. Interdiction Fire. The aim of interdiction fire is to isolate the battlefield through the destruction of reserves, routes, bridges and supplies. Interdiction fire is delivered to deny unrestricted use of an area or point. It may be combined with harassing fire and is normally planned and coordinated at Brigade or Joint Force headquarters level. Interdiction fire must be responsive and coordinated to achieve the desired effect at the desired time and place.d. Counter Fire. The aim of counter fire is to destroy, neutralise or force the redeployment of enemy IFS. Counter Fire links efficient target acquisition systems with responsive delivery systems and is controlled at the highest appropriate headquarters level to ensure the timely engagement of hostile IFS.

Description

3.4.11.2.8.5 Meteorological Data

Meteorological (Met) data is promulgated in standard message formats which have been adopted by American, British, Canadian, and Australian (ABCA) armies as a Quadripartite Standardisation Agreement (QSTAG) and are frequently based on the equivalent NATO Standardisation Agreement (STANAG).

The format used in the RAA is the Standard Artillery Computer Meteorological Message (SACMM). The SACMM is based on QSTAG 1166 and STANAG 4082.

The future format of meteorological messages will most probably be the NATO Standard Gridded Data Meteorological Messages (SGDMM) in accordance with Annex A of STANAG 6022.

The standard ballistic atmosphere used by the RAA for default/firing table Met is defined in STANAG 4044.

Registration Met is correction data derived from firing registration missions in the absence of any other, up-to-date, Met data. Registration Met has a life of no more than two hours.

3.4.11.2.8.6 Operational Defaults

The default 155 mm Operational Safe Distance (i.e. safe splinter distance) for friendly forces is 350 metres. Missions are considered to be Danger Close (i.e. the use of Danger Close procedures must be considered) if they are within 600 metres of friendly troops.

3.4.11.2.8.7 Execution of Fire Missions

Not used. All content specified in the individual BMS-F sub-system elements.

3.4.11.2.9 Management of Reports & Returns

3.4.11.2.9.1 Positional Reporting

3.4.11.2.25 Communications

3.4.11.2.25.1 Interfacing

The BMS-F will transmit and receive messages between Nodes of the Network. These messages will be transmitted via CNR or LAN, and will be either automatically or manually generated by the BMS-F application software using its own internal format. The BMS-F(FCS) must also be Able to generate, transmit, receive, interpret and respond to messages in common military formats (e.g. Australian Standard Text Message Format (ASMTF), Variable Message Format (VMF)).

The BMS-F Network will consist of C2 Nodes at JOSCCs and FDCs, FO Nodes at JOSTs and Terminal Attack Controller (TAC) locations, and FCS Nodes on weapon platforms. Nodes may be either mounted or dismounted and shall communicate in data using a digital, secure CNR bearer system or LAN. FO Nodes shall also have a voice capability.

VMF utilises K-Series messages and is a sub-set of the Link 16, J-Series family of Tactical Data Links (TDLs).

VMF by itself is not a data link; it is a message format used over a data link. VMF messages were initially developed as digital ground communications for exchanging tactical and Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) data on the battlefield. Ground communications are made up of multiple VMF nets and sub-nets that contribute to an overall Joint Task Force (JTF) architecture. The VMF suite of standards are upgraded on a fixed two-year cycle in accordance with the ADF CIR that must be supported by all VMF products.

The BMS-F shall be capable of exchanging data with BMS-F and non-BMS-F message originators and recipients using VMF, as specified by the following standards:a. MIL-STD-6017 - Variable Message Format;b. MIL-STD-2045-47001 - Connectionless Data Transfer Application Layer Standard; andc. MIL-STD-188-220 - Interoperability Standard for Digital Message Transfer.

Non-BMS-F message originators include:a. TBMCS (OAS);b. GCCSM (NSFS);c. BCSS;d. BGC3;e. BFT;f. I-TAC;g. JCSE; and h. Coalition C4ISR.

4 PRECEDENCE & CRITICALITY OF REQUIREMENTS

Requirements in this Specification take precedence over requirements specified in any referenced document. Essential requirements take precedence over all other requirements.

All requirements in this Specification have been categorised to define the relative criticality of each requirement to the ADF. The set of categories used is as follows:a. Essential;b. Very Important;c. Important;d. Desirable;e. Advice; andf. To Be Determined.

Essential and ESS. An Essential requirement annotation indicates that the stated requirement shall be met by the tenderer’s proposal. Tenders assessed as not complying with one or more essential requirements will normally be excluded from further evaluation.

Very Important and VIMP. A Very Important requirement annotation indicates that the stated requirements should be met by the tenderer’s proposal. While there is some latitude in meeting the requirement, a major departure from one or more requirements, or a substantial number of minor departures, will represent a significant divergence from the Commonwealth’s requirement. This divergence will reduce the prospect of a proposal being selected as the preferred or compliant tender.

Important and IMP. An Important requirement annotation indicates that the stated requirements should be met by the tenderer’s proposal. While there is some latitude in meeting the requirement, a major departure from one or more requirements, or a substantial number of minor departures, will represent a significant divergence from the Commonwealth’s requirement. This divergence may reduce the prospect of a proposal being selected as the preferred or compliant tender.

Desirable and DES. A Desirable requirement annotation indicates that the stated requirement is perceived by the Commonwealth as beneficial, provided it represents value for money.

Advice and ADV. An Advice annotation indicates that the clause provides advice or information to suppliers. An advice annotation clause does not effect the tender evaluation process.

5.1 General

5.2 Methods of Verification

Test and VT. A test is the operation of the system, or a part of the system, or equipment using instrumentation or other special test equipment to collect data for later evaluation. The Commonwealth often collects verification test data through the performance of trials. Trials shall be conducted in accordance with the appropriate Test and Evaluation Management Plan.

Demonstrate and VD. A demonstration is the operation of the system, or a part of the system, or equipment, that relies on observable functional operation not requiring the use of instrumentation, special test equipment, or subsequent analysis.

Analyse and VA. Analysis is the processing of accumulated data obtained from other qualification methods or calculations. Examples of analysis include reduction, interpolation, or extrapolation of test results.

Inspect and VI. Inspection is the visual examination of system components, documentation etc.

Conformance Statement and VCS. A conformance statement is a certification issued by either an independent testing authority or a government user, which confirms adherence/compliance to one or more specific requirements and/or standards. This is often done when other methods of verification are not practical, very expensive or not safe to be verified in a realistic environment.

Special and VS. Special means of verification may include the use of special tools or facilities, application of special techniques, procedures, acceptance limits, use of standard samples, pre-production or periodic production samples, pilot models, pilot lots or use of jury panels.

7 NOTES

7.1 General

Provision has been made for the tenderer to indicate their response to individual requirements in the Compliance table provided on the RFT CD (Excel workbook DEF(AUST) 8484 - FPS Compliance Table. xls). The tenderer must select the appropriate value from the options provided (Complies (C), Does Not Comply (DNC) or Exceeds Requirement (ER)) to indicate the way in which their offer satisfies each specific requirement.

"Complies" in relation to a tenderer's statement of compliance means:a. in the case of a clause which imposes a contractual condition, that the condition is agreed;b. in the case of a clause which specifies a characteristic or performance to be met by the Supplies to be provided, that the tenderer meets the requirement as specified;c. in the case of a clause which is of an information nature only that the clause has been read, understood and is agreed; ord. in the case of a clause where information has been requested that the information has been provided in the required level of detail and in the required format.

"Does Not Comply" in relation to a tenderer's statement of compliance means that the contractual condition, characteristic or performance requirement of the clause is met by the tenderer. Where a tenderer does not comply with a particular clause, the extent of non-compliance is to be stated. The tenderer shall include a specific proposed amendment or alternative and reason for that approach.

"Exceeds Requirement" in relation to a tenderer's statement of compliance means the Supplies offered exceed the specified requirements. Full details of the extent of variation from the specified requirement are to be stated.

The provision of responses in the format supplied does not relieve the tenderer of any obligations stated in the tendering documentation.
