Description

NA The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command's (USASMDC?s) Directed Energy Technology Program Office has a requirement to conduct Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser (MTHEL) Concept and Technology Development (CTD) in conjunction with ongoing THEL Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) testing (which will provide a basis for MTHEL design validation decisions). The MTHEL CTD activities are a follow-on to the development test and evaluation (DT&E) of the THEL Demonstrator. The THEL Demonstrator is a one-of-a-kind system developed by TRW, Incorporated, under a US/Israeli cooperative research program pursued as an Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program. Pursuant to 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), USASMDC plans to award a modification to the existing THEL ACTD contract on a sole source basis to TRW, Incorporated, of Redondo Beach, California. The proposed MTHEL CTD effort will investigate design trades that could allow a follow-on development to the THEL ACTD Demonstrator on a truck-mounted system with performance similar to that of the THEL ACTD Demonstrator. In parallel under the existing contract, TRW will conduct synergistic testing that will be designed to benefit decision makers by aiding the design trade process for MTHEL. This is the next step in a phased program to evaluate the effectiveness of a THEL in negating the threat poised by Katyusha and other short-range artillery rocke ts. These efforts are integral to and are so closely intertwined with the development of the Demonstrator to date as to be essentially non-severable. These efforts build on the prior work of TRW and it has been determined that award to any other source wou ld result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government not expected to be recovered by competition. This effort will be awarded as soon as possible and performed prior to the end of FY2002. A SECRET facility clearance is required for this effort. Written responses must cite this notice and be submitted to the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, ATTN: SMDC-CM-AK/Mr. O. Wayne Koger, P.O. Box 1500, Huntsville, AL 35807-3801. See note 22.
