B -- SPECIAL STUDIES AND ANALYSIS TO SUPPORT NAVSTAR GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM SOL F04701-95-R-0026 POC Barney Klehman, Director GPS Contracts, (310) 363-6396; Cathy Purnell, Deputy GPS Contracts, (310) 363-2941. The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) Joint Program Office (JPO) anticipates the release of an RFP for studies and analyses of GPS Block IIR program-specific support tasks related to specific areas of the GPS program, including areas related to the Nuclear Detonation Detection System (NDS) program. This contract will emphasize the analysis of existing GPS Block IIR and NDS technologies, hardware and software to meet future military and commercial navigation and NDS requirements and applications. Interested qualified sources are invited to submit an unclassified Statement of Capabilities (SOC), not to exceed ten pages in length, within fifteen days of publication of this synopsis. The SOC must clearly demonstrate the source's ability to cover substantially all of the following areas and tasks. Interested sources must clearly show relevant GPS IIR and NDS experience, with potential application to the subjects covered below. Topics anticipated to be included in the scope of the contract include the following: GPS navigation payload applications, including navigation system architecture, analysis and design, and space and ground system interface, High orbit navigation systems using GPS IIR crosslinks, Augmented GPS navigation applications, including system architecture, design, performance and analysis, Precision Timing Systems, L-Band Systems, Auto-navigation with ensemble processing, Real Time Processing Systems, Constellation simulation and analysis, Total system emulation, Reprogrammable system design, Custom COMSEC designs, Specialized test systems for checkout of navigation systems, and systems for on-orbit monitoring of spacecraft navigation. Release of the Request for Proposal (RFP) is anticipated in July 1995. Due to the sensitive and/or classified nature of many of the potential topics covered by this acquisition, a Top Secret facility clearance (SI/TK) will be required. The estimated period of performance for this contract will be up to five years. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal.
