- Description
- Map to Applied Science Building at Pennsylvania State University The Naval Sea Systems Command, Program Manager for Undersea Defensive Systems (PMS 415) within the Program Executive Office Submarines (PEOSUB), will host an Industry Day Conference in support of the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defense (ATTDS), Countermeasure Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (CAT) program on Thursday, November 13, 2014 at the Pennsylvania State University Applied Science Building (ASB) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A map detailing the exact location of the ASB is attached to this Industry Day announcement in FedBizOpps. Parking is available at the ASB public parking lot for a flat fee of $5.00. Upon arrival at ASB, attendees must check-in at the coat room area of the auditorium on the first floor where visitor IDs will be issued. All attendees must submit a Visit Authorization Request Form (VAR) to the Applied Research Laboratory of Pennsylvania State University (ARL/PSU) by 03 November 2014 for unescorted access via JPAS and SMO 6D012. VARs can be addressed and faxed to David Howard at 814-865-3738. All visitors and their security personnel can contact David Howard at 814-865-9584 or dkh19@arl.psu.edu to check receipt of their VARs. For any questions or to resolve any problems for attendance to this Industry Day, please contact Nicholas Minovich at nicholas.minovich@navy.mil and/or Daniel Georgiadis at daniel.georgiadis@navy.mil. Check-in will occur between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Attendance is limited to no more than four individuals per organization, and it is encouraged to include at least one Chief Engineer or Technical Lead. All attendees will be required to present a Government issued photo identification to obtain the visitor IDs. The CAT Industry Day Conference will be UNCLASSIFIED. At this time, national policy does not support participation in this Industry Day Conference by foreign sources. Please RSVP no later than 03 November, 2014 to nicholas.minovich@navy.mil. RSVPs received after 03 November 2014 will not be accepted and attendance will be denied. There is no registration fee for attending this Industry Day. Attendees with the appropriate clearance will be given the opportunity to attend an ARL/PSU tour of the Engineering Development Model (EDM) development facility. This tour will be classified at the SECRET level and is only open to U.S. citizens with a current U.S. SECRET clearance. Shuttle transportation to and from ASB to the EDM development facility for the tour will be provided. The PMS 415 ATTDS Industry Day will provide industry a general technical overview on the All-Up Round Equipment (AURE), the high level requirements, and the five subsystems of the CAT. The intent for this Industry Day is only to familiarize industry with the program and is strictly technical in nature. Details pertaining to the specific procurement actions such as the acquisition strategy and the Request for Proposal will not be provided at this Industry Day. PMS 415 has been tasked to develop a surface ship anti-torpedo hard-kill capability for High Value Unit platforms (Carriers and Combat Logistics Force ships). This capability will be developed through two separate but associated programs: the Torpedo Warning System (TWS) and the CAT. The TWS will serve as a standalone detection, alert and tactical control system, and will provide the detection capability necessary for the ship to evade, decoy, or defeat the torpedo using existing or future tactics and countermeasures in addition to the CAT. The CAT will be developed separately as a hard-kill countermeasure. TWS and CAT are associated but independent acquisition programs, each with its own defined mission. The CAT will continue development as a common counter-measure for all platforms. The CAT consists of the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT) and the AURE. The ATT is a small-diameter, quick-reaction hard-kill torpedo countermeasure used to disable incoming threat torpedoes. The ATT will search, home, terminal home, and fuse on its target using technology developed under sponsorship of the Office of Naval Research. It consists of the following 5 major sections: Nose, Warhead, Command & Control, Powerplant and Tail. The ATT is housed in an AURE, which consists of a thin-walled composite canister, electrical cabling to enable communication between the ATT and fire control, and energetics for launching the ATT and the ATT canister. The resultant capabilities of the ATTDS family of systems will be integrated into an open architecture designed system leading to the demonstration of an anti-torpedo detection and track for TWS and hard-kill engagement for CAT. The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept proposals as a result of this Industry Day Conference. This notice shall not be construed as a promise to contract or commitment of any kind. The Government will not award a contract resulting from this conference. There will be no opportunities for questions or discussions between individual industry representatives and Government technical Program Office representatives during the conference. However, the Government will provide industry the opportunity to document UNCLASSIFIED questions that arise during the conference on forms supplied at the conference. The Government will collect all index cards prior to the conclusion of Industry Day. In addition, electronic mail questions received prior to and after the Industry Day will be accepted by the NAVSEA Contract Specialist Lisa Sherman at lisa.sherman@navy.mil. Responses to written questions will be provided via follow-up electronic posts to FedBizOpps. The Government is not committed to respond to any questions. Please note that industry participation is voluntary and the Government will not reimburse attendees for any efforts expended as a result of or in response to this notice.
