Sources Sought for Robotic Solution to Modernize the ABMC’s Robotic Headstone Program

The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) is seeking a Robot Integrator to assess and improve its current headstone engraving program. The program involves engraving headstones for 26 permanent American burial grounds on foreign soil, with a current capacity of approximately 2,000 headstones per year. The ABMC is looking for a comprehensive solution that includes a robust, industrial-grade robotic engraving system, software platform, and infrastructure upgrades. The solution should be able to sustain the agency's headstone replacement and refurbishment program over the coming decades. Some key points to consider: • The ABMC has two existing fixed 3D robotic systems and is looking to replace or upgrade them. • The agency is considering adding a new fixed 3D robot installation and infrastructure upgrades at Manila, Philippines. • The ABMC is also exploring the development of mobile robotic re-engraving systems designed to work directly in the cemetery plots. • The agency is open to innovative solutions to meet its needs.
