- Description
- This sources sought notice is being performed in accordance with FAR Part 10 Market Research. The Target Defeat task represent a class of military capabilities that leverages chemical and material science based phenomena to adversely impact military equipment and personnel. Non-kinetic vehicle/vessel stopping represent a significant technical area under Target Defeat. Expected expertise includes the ability to perform vehicle/vessel stopping technology investigations involving combustion chemistry which will encompass research and development (R&D) and test and evaluation (T&E). The Contractor shall have the ability to perform vehicle/vessel defeat studies through other chemical means and vehicle/vessel defeat support technology development. The Contractor shall possess the capability to model various antimateriel processes to include combustion process in various engines. The Contractor shall have the ability to conduct research, development and production support to various chemically based antimateriel and non-lethal technologies such as: anti-traction materials, foams, microencapsulation, adhesives, malodorants, tagging tracking and locating technologies, riot control agents and abrasives. The Contractor will provide munition system design expertise to deliver a variety of non-lethal payloads. The Contractor will perform modeling and simulation for transport and diffusion phenomena associated with nonlethal riot control agent and smoke disseminations to determine area coverage, concentration and dosage for system effectiveness evaluation. The Contractor shall perform antimateriel studies designed to decompose, degrade and/or destroy selected military materiel and/or industrial production support equipment. Antimateriel studies can include theoretical review of potential technologies, feasibility determinations at the laboratory bench level, and/or field testing to include the possibility of employing fully operational identified equipment. The Contractor shall possess or have unrestricted access to environmental and field testing facilities, to include vehicle test tracks, pilot plant production support facilities, and firing ranges for small arms and explosives. The firing ranges shall be equipped with ballistic data acquisition systems and high-speed cameras to record the motion of projectiles in flight. The Contractor shall also possess or have unrestricted access to laboratory, field test and demilitarization facilities for conducting weapon and weapon component degradation studies incorporating energetic materials. The Contractor shall possess sensor systems and signal source hardware to be used in triggered delivery systems already available on-site at the government facilities. The Contractor shall provide systems engineering (SE) for system development (i.e., development, design and analysis, and fabrication of limited scale production of prototypes) for target defeat applications. The SE support shall include conceptual and prototype designs including system requirements definition, refinement and functional decomposition. The contractor shall provide Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) support including engineering data analysis support in the review and evaluation of data from all available sources to develop Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) views required to effectively develop systems and enable transition to appropriate Programs of Record. This includes the development of the following: Use Cases, Requirements with full traceability, Operational Views, System Views, Capability Views and Project Views, as well as, production of system and/or performance specifications and other design artifacts. The Contractor shall conduct system and subsystem evaluations to examine how selected technologies and system requirements are met and to determine the need for new ideas and alternatives to fill gaps discovered or analyzed. Knowledge and ability are required to utilize MBSE software and tools such as Vitech CORE Spectrum and IBM Rational System Architect.
