Walking unmanned ground vehicle "Spot" with accessories, services and maintenance

To fulfil official duties, and in particular to support the authorities involved in the joint support network (Unterstützungsverbund, UVB) – CBRN, namely the Federal Police (Bundespolizei, BPOL) and the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA), and to support the Länder, a walking unmanned ground vehicle (Unmanned Ground Vehicle, UGV) is to be procured. The walking UGV shall be able to carry measuring devices and transmit their data, thereby carrying out semi-autonomous reconnaissance of hazardous areas. Furthermore, the walking UGV shall have the capability to open doors (using door handles and opening doors by pushing or pulling, including doors that close automatically) and to climb stairs with step heights of up to 30 cm (valid for all common construction materials such as concrete, wood, metal and metal grating) in order to move freely within buildings. The walking UGV must be able to capture its environment three-dimensionally (3D) and to move semi-autonomously within that environment on the basis of this data. To ensure the mandatory technical compatibility with the named partner authorities, the walking UGV must be the model "Spot" from the manufacturer "Boston Dynamics". Only in this way can it be technically ensured that additional equipment (hardware and software), whether acquired or self-made, can be exchanged with the partners. The interfaces (hardware, software, data formats) are to be fully documented for the contracting authority and made available without licence restrictions for the development of its own additional equipment. The procurement of the UGV "Spot" is carried out under application of § 31 para. 6 VgV, with a product specification based on compelling technical reasons of compatibility with the existing systems, adaptations and additional equipment (hardware,
