MILSATCOM TERMINAL TECHNOLOGY AND GROUND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY SEMINAR AND MILSATCOM TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM REVIEW POC: Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, 2451 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22245-5200. William Fizell, (703) 602-2644. Synopsis No. 22. The Milstar Joint Terminal Program Office (JTPO) and the MILSATCOM Joint Program Office (MJPO) announce the MILSATCOM Terminal Technology and Ground Control Technology Seminar and MILSATCOM Technology Program Review. The purpose of the seminar is threefold: 1.) To provide a unique opportunity for the MILSATCOM development community, both Industry and Government, to discuss advanced concepts and ongoing terminal and ground control technology development. 2.) To provide a forum for the MJPO to brief the MILSATCOM Technology Program status and receive Industry comments. 3.) To provide a forum for the Government to obtain terminal and ground control technology development status from Industry to assist the MJPO's MILSATCOM Technology Program. The MILSATCOM Technology Program includes a wide selection of technology projects to meet current and projected MILSATCOM requirements. Seminar: The seminar will be held 2 through 4 May 1995 at Ft. Monmouth, NJ, MITRE Center Auditorium, starting at 8:00 AM. The scope of the seminar encompasses those technologies which are applicable to the terminal and ground control segments of future MILSATCOM systems. Presentations and discussions should address terminal and ground control technologies (UHF, SHF, and EHF) feasible for implementation in 1996 or later. (Satellite bus and payload issues have been previously addressed at the 3 and 4 November 1994 Technology Program Review. However, you are welcome to submit new projects in the bus and payload areas.) Government presentations will include MILSATCOM requirements, changes in the threat, and the MILSATCOM Technology Program Status. Industry participants will present their project(s) with a one page summary, nonproprietary, in the format required by the Request For Information Package. Background information may be in any format and may be proprietary if required. Organizations who wish to suggest projects or otherwise contribute in the terminal technology area, and need the Request For Information (RFI) Package, should contact Bill Fizell at (703) 602-2644 and provide your name, full address, phone number, and request for a Government only audience, if desired. Organizations who wish to suggest projects or otherwise contribute in the satellite ground control area, and need the RFI Package, should contact Lt John Sawyer at (310) 336-4944 and provide your name, full address, phone number, and request for a Government only audience, if desired. Responders are cautioned that only contracting officers are legally authorized to commit the Government. This request is for information only, not a request for proposals, and does not commit the Government to pay for preparation costs. Responders are advised that no contract will be awarded solely on the basis of a response hereto or any follow up information subsequently submitted. The Government is not planning to contract for any particular effort at this time, rather, this information will be used to develop future technology plans and pursue future technology projects. Administrative Details: The seminar classification will be SECRET, therefore, all attendees must possess a SECRET clearance. The seminar is open to US, UK, French, and Canadian citizens. Therefore, presenters wishing to present to all attendees will need to clear their presentation for foreign release. Government only (foreign and US), US only, and US Government only sessions can be requested.
