- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation prepared in accordance with FAR Part 13. No RFQ will be prepared or made available. The Government intends to award, on a Sole Source basis, an order to University of California, Irvine. STATEMENT OF WORK. PARAGRAPH 1.0 INTRODUCTION. The Robust Tracking with a Neural Extended Kalman Filter (NEKF) project is an ONR ILIR sponsored effort at SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego. The project will develop the theory, algorithms, software, and modeling and simulation technologies to improve state estimation of air, land, and sea vehicles during maneuvers. PARAGRAPH 1.1. BACKGROUND. The NEKF project will: Provide an improved state estimation capability for current U.S. Navy tracking systems. Currently tracking systems attempt to model as best they can all types of target maneuvers that may occur. The NEKF is able to determine any maneuver and adapt appropriately the tracking system. The NEKF has been used in the past in control system technology and system identification. During this project the NEKF will be combined with an interacting multiple model (IMM) filter architecture to provide robust tracking capabilities that are currently unavailable. Research for the NEKF project consists of the two interrelated sub-areas listed below. a) Second Order Convergence. b) Choice of Noise Processes. PARAGRAPH 2.0 SCOPE. This task involves research to develop theory or algorithms capable of demonstrating convergence properties of a neural extended Kalman filter (NEKF). The contractor will conduct research to demonstrate bounds on choices of noise processes for the NEKF for different size state vectors and measurement degrees of freedom. PARAGRAPH 3.0 Technical requirements. The contractor shall develop the theory for convergence properties of a neural extended Kalman filter as outlined in the task below. PARAGRAPH 3.1 SECOND ORDER CONVERGENCE AND NOISE PROCESSES. The contractor shall conduct research in the theory to demonstrate that the neural extended Kalman filter (NEKF) has a second order convergence property and to investigate the bounds on noise processes for the NEKF. The contractor shall generate a final report on completion of this task and document the results in CDRL A001. PARAGRAPH 4.0 CONTRACT DELIVERABLES AND SCHEDULE. Contract deliverables and schedule shall be in accordance with the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL). PARAGRAPH 5.0 PLACE OF PERRFORMANCE/TRAVEL. {PLACE OF PERFORMANCE IS AT CONTRACTOR FACILITY 100% -- MEETINGS WILL LIKELY BE HELD AT THEIR FACILITY AND AT SPAWAR SYSTEMS CENTER SAN DIEGO}. Primary places of performance: Contractor plant: 100%. The primary places of performance for this SOW are at the University of California Irvine located in Irvine, CA. Some work will be performed at contractor or government facilities. The travel indicated below is for project coordination. However, all travel will be pre-approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Destination: San Diego, CA; Number of Trips: 3; Number of Days: 1; Number of Personnel: 1; Purpose: Kick-off Meeting ; Interim Review, Final Review . PARAGRAPH 6.0 GOVERNMENT FUNDED EQUIPMENT. None. PARAGRAPH 7.0 SECURITY. THE WORK COMPLETED UNDER THIS SOW WILL BE UNCLASSIFIED. PARAGRAPH 8.0 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE. All deliverables shall be delivered to the SSC SD government technical coordinator and to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) at SPAWARSYSCEN San Diego, CA, for acceptance. Final task completion is due not later than six months after contract award. Technical Coordinator: Mark Owen, SSC San Diego (2725), (619) 553-2041, email address: mowen@spawar.navy.mil. Contracting Officer Representative: Stewart Abelson, SSC San Diego (2721), (619)553-2429, email address: abelson@spawar.navy.mil. Facsimile quotations may be sent to (619) 553-1062. Numbered Note 22 applies, however, all offers received within 15 days (in lieu of 45 days) after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 541990. Note: The full text of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) can be accessed on the Internet at http://farsite.hill.af.mil/. Offerors must complete and submit with their quote, a copy of FAR 52.219-1 Alt I/II, Small Business Program Representation.
