- Description
- The objective of the AWDI Program is to develop, demonstrate and implement advanced Manufacturing processes and practices that markedly reduce cost and accelerate technology insertion associated with the transition of emerging weapon data link systems into munitions SDD/LRIP/FRP programs. Focus will be toward the pursuit of aggressive product and process technologies that can dramatically lower WDL acquisition costs from their current baseline toward an ultimate production cost goal below $5000/datalink by FY13. The primary transition target for this effort is Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB-II). However, solution applicability to multiple systems is a premium and interim transition onto other Precision Guided Munition (PGM) systems (i.e. Joint Air to Surface Stand-off Missile (JASSM)) prior to FY10 is also highly desirable. A successful program will result in commitment to fully implement the developed processes and practices as well as a transition plan with System Program Office buy-in to incorporate the improved WDL product and processes onto their respective system(s). The total period of performance for the basic effort is 44 months: 40 months for the technical effort and 4 months for completing the final report. Reports are the primary deliverables on this contractual action. Some prototype hardware may be developed as process test articles, deliverable to the Government at the end of contract.
