14 -- AGM-130 RANGE EXTENSION KIT POC Anthony Williams, Contracting Officer, (904) 882-7979, ext 253. For technical information contact Ken Koval, (904) 882-7979, ext 272. This is a request for information. The AGM-130/GBU-15 Program Office is exploring methods to increase the range of the AGM-130 to improve the weapon's stand-off capability. The desired approach to achieve this improved performance is to develop a kit which will provide additional aerodynamic lift thereby extending missile range. The missile, when configured with the kit, will be carried and released from F-15E, F-111F, and B-52 aircraft. The kit should be modular and easily installed without special tools. Firms interested in this program must demonstrate knowledge and experience in the fields of weapons, aerodynamics, airfoil design and development, folding and deploying lifting surfaces, guidance and control, and aircraft integration. Firms must also demonstrate the ability to fabricate test assets, perform integration, support flight test activities, and manufature the kit. Potential contractors having these capabilities and experience are invited to submit a description of general and specific work currently and previously performed in the areas listed, describe facilities available, and provide any other pertinent descriptive literature and qualifications. Submit information within 20 days of this notice. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only, does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the government. A sources sought synopsis may be issued at a later date based upon the government's defined requirement. (0080)
