The Department of Defense is initiating a spiral development effort to counter both the existing threat posed by radio controlled Improvised Electronic Devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the long-term worldwide IED threat. The Naval Sea Systems Command is planning to execute procurements to address these combined threats. The DoD will first award one or more contracts to design, develop, fabricate, and test both man portable (dismounted) and vehicle mounted (mounted) Counter Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (CREW) systems. By incorporating technical advances over existing CREW systems, these systems will address both the urgent requirement for dismounted CREW systems in Iraq and Afghanistan and initiate development and demonstration of the next generation dismounted CREW systems. These next generation dismounted and mounted systems will provide a technological bridge leading to an integrated system of systems. The final procurement will integrate dismounted, mounted and fixed CREW systems into a single system of systems capable of addressing the future worldwide CREW threats. The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to initiate procurement of the dismounted and mounted systems with a release of a Request for Procurement RFP in 1st GFY07 followed by contract award early 2nd Quarter GFY07. Industry will have approximately a seven month development period leading to a one year Government test cycle. The Government anticipates awarding production contract in 3rd Quarter GFY 08, requiring initial delivery late the same quarter. Contract award for the integrated system of systems procurement is planned for 4TH Quarter GFY08 with initial delivery planned for 2ND Quarter FY12. The DoD will provide specific details of these acquisition strategies during the industry day on 26 September 2006. The Department of Defense is developing detailed program requirements and specifications for each of these procurements. Basic requirements will include increased portability (smaller/lighter dismounted systems, reduced vehicle impact for mounted systems), reduced power demands, increased frequency coverage, increased modularity, increased interoperability with other CREW systems, and improved compatibility with other DoD systems. Specific details of these requirements will be presented during the industry day on 26 September 2006. The information provided herein is for information only and is not a Request for Proposal or announcement of a solicitation. This synopsis does not constitute an invitation for bid or Request for Proposal, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a contract or order. The Government will not pay for any effort expended or any material provided in response to this announcement nor will the government return any data provided.
