14 -- 14 -- BAA-JAST-J/IST DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM POC Contact, LCDR Mike Zarou, Phone (703)604-6100x3533 The Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) Integrated Subsystems Technology (J/IST) Demonstration Program, SOL JAST 95-3. The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the JAST Program Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 95-3. Proposals are due 1200 hours, Eastern Standard Time, 9 June 1995, addressed to Naval Air Systems Command, 1421 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22243-5120, Hand delivered copies are to be delivered to 1411 Jefferson Davis Highway, Room 136, Arlington, VA 22243-5120, to the attention of LCDR Zarou. Introduction: The JAST Program Office, Washington, DC, is planning to solicit proposals (technical and cost) for the research efforts summarized below. A BAA Information Package provided detailed information on the objectives of the BAA deliverables and proposal preparation and submission requirements. Interested companies who would like to receive the BAA Information Package may contact LtCol Randy Smith via INTERNET at smithr@ntrprs.jast.mil, by FAX at (703)602-0646, or by calling (703)602-7390 x6619. The industry information package will be provided by mail on a 3.5 inch disk in the latest Microsoft Office applications. The disk may also be picked up at the JAST Program Office at 1745 Jefferson Savis Highway, Suite 307, Arlington, VA 22202; only one copy will be provided per contractor. BAA Requirements: 1) Technical Description: The J/IST Suite concept detailed design(s) and technology maturation work awarded in response to this BAA must contribute to significantly lowr\er cost for joint strike aircraft weapon systems, maturation of advanced technologies for affordability, and future demonstration of common/highly common integrated hoint strike weapon systems concepts for the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and our Allies. The objective of the J/IST Demonstration Program is to convince both industry and government decision makers that the J/IST Suite will provide the promised Life Cycle Costs (LCC) reductions and increased availability, Reliability, Maintainability and Supportability (RM&S), and war fighting capabilities and that the technologies upon which this integrated subsystems suite are based are sufficiently mature to enter Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD) in the 2000 time frame. Subsystems must be viewed from an air vehicle level perspective. Improvements to individual components or single-function subsystems, when pursued separately, may not bring about significant vehicle level LCC savings. An integrated approach which exploits the synergistic interactions among the various subsystems, using multi-functional gardware, offers the greatest opportunity to make significant advancements tawards down-sizing the air vehicles reducing Operations and Support (O&S) and acquisitions costs, and improving availability and war-fighting capabilities. 2) Anticipated Period of Performance: 49 months of technical effort fter contract award. 3) Expected award date: 21 Jul 95. 4) The number of contract awards and the amount of each award will be based upon the assessment of the proposal's contributions to the J/IST Dimonstration Programs's objectives. It is anticipated that up to $95.46 Million worth of contracts will be awarded, consisting of one or more awards (cost type). The Government funding profile (in $ Millions)is estimated as follows: FY95 0.3; FY96 26.5; FY97 27.4; FY98 32.3; FY99 8.96. Questions sould be directed to one of the Points of Contact listed below.
