SUMMARY:The Sandhills Project - "Future Breaching Experiment"
DESCRIPTION:Description: The Future Breaching Experiment integrates the efforts of leading industry partners\, research and development institutes\, and Service members to address the evolving character of ground combat. The experiment seeks to highlight current breaching capabilities through practice and live experimentation in simulated conditions. Experimentation occurs on realistic and challenging obstacles replicating real-world challenges observed abroad. The obstacles are derived from two operational vignettes: complex obstacles in depth (2-3km) and a dispersed defense network in urban terrain. \nTheme: Innovation and Breaching – leveraging current capabilities for rapid implementation. \nEvent Problem Statement: US and partnered nations must maneuver through an extensive obstacle effort several kilometers in depth. The obstacle effort is under persistent observation\, referenced for indirect fires\, and subject to signal interference. US and partnered nations must also maneuver through dispersed obstacle effort in within dense urban terrain. The obstacle effort is under heightened observation from civilian structures\, referenced for indirect fires\, and subject to enemy and structural signal interference\, increased usage of barriers and structural fires leveraged as weapons. \nObjectives:  \n\nDemonstrate and experiment with current capabilities in: obstacle intelligence\, obscuration\, and obstacle neutralization/reduction\nIntegrate and mesh disparate platforms (e.g. sUAS\, mechanical and explosive reduction) into a functioning capability\nHighlight current capability gaps for future experimentation\n\nRSVP POCs: MAJ Robert Howell (robert.b.Howell22.mil@army.mil) (910-262-7303); MAJ Steven Calhoun (steven.l.calhoun.mil@army.mil).​​

This training is a comprehensive guide to using MatchForce as a tool for finding federal contracting opportunities and doing market research. In this training you will learn how MatchForce can be utilized to: match your business to contract opportunities automatically; effectively search and filter the internal database of federal contracting data; and help businesses (both prime and subcontractors) along with contracting officers do in-depth market research. Additionally\, prime contractors will learn how to use the search function to search for businesses to perform subcontracting tasks\, or to view businesses in an area that can perform work in certain industries. Potential subcontractors will learn how to use the search function to search for prime contractors that they may be able to partner with. Finally\, you will learn how to easily access MatchForce’s internal database of federal contracting opportunities\, government purchase card opportunities and future\, forecast opportunities to always be aware of opportunities for your business. \nRegistration. This is a free webinar; however\, pre-registration is required in order to receive the virtual platform credentials. Credentials will be emailed out a few days prior to the training. \nRegister
