Trade Agreement: Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid Attachment: None Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall Proposal Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: TITLE: Design and fabrication of a bench mount test fixture for recoil measurement

Scope of the work

The Statement of Work (SOW) describes the services required by Defence R&D Canada - Valcartier (DRDC Valcartier) aim at carrying out the following objectives :

The objective of this work is to develop, fabricate and test three (3) bench mount test fixtures for recoil measurement and a test fixture to characterise the components of these recoil test fixtures. The three recoil test fixtures will be designed and built sequentially with increasing levels of complexity. The first recoil test fixture will only have translation motion in the x-axis (one-degree-of-freedom). The second test fixture will allow rotation in the vertical and horizontal planes about the end of the butt stock in addition to the x-axis translation (three-degrees-of-freedom). The third test fixture will add more degrees-of-freedom to the previous test fixture for an appropriate representation of the hands, arms, cheek and body of the shooter. The same data acquisition system and computer must be used for all test fixtures. The test fixtures must be usable by DRDC to analyse recoil force, displacement, and acceleration as function of time and frequency.
