D -- D-GRDCUS SOFTWARE ENGINEERING SERVICES SOL F08635-95-R-0032 DUE 071795 POC Contact: Patricia Ellis, Contract Specialist, or Joyce Hefferman, Contracting Officer, at 904-882-4603. Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC) at Eglin AFB FL contemplates release of a full and open competitive RFP recompete of an existing contract to provide the 96 Communications-Computer Systems Group Software Engineering Services to support the continuing enhancement and maintenance of the Gulf Range Development Upgrade System (CRDCUS) including the GRDCUS Mobile Control System (GMCS), the Multi-Object Tracking and Control System (MTACS), the implementation of Global Positioning System (GPS) into GRDCUS and MTACS A basic contract with 4 option years beginning in FY96 is proposed. GRDCUS includes the command and control of up to four drone aircraft (BQM34A, QF106, QF4 and MQM107E) during launch, single and formation flight and recovery, and the tracking of four shooter aircraft, four misssiles and two other aircraft type. The tracking and/or control of all aircraft will be through ground stations or four airborne relays. The GRDCUS computer hardware system consists of a IBM RISC 6000 workstation network connected via a dual token ring and Data Link Subsystems built by IBM Corp for the ground and airborne stations. MTACS is based on the GRDCUS datalink and is installed and operated at the Central Control Facility at Eglin AFB. MTACS presently utilizes the CCF network of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAX 8600 computers. MTACS has the capability to track aircraft and track and control ground vehicles utilizing the GRDCUS datalink and GPS for position data. MTACS will be ported to the GRDCUS development system which is network of 12 IBM RISC 6000 workstations. This support will require five contract software engineers experienced in the software systems associated with GRDCUS, the Eglin Real Time System, the GMCS and GPS. Specifics of this effort are: 1) develop, install, integrate, test and document GRDCUS and MTACS real time software, analysis software and data reductions software, 2) support MTACS software development, installation, integration, test, operation and documentation, 3) support GRDCUS analysis software development and documentation with emphasis on drone control and distance measuring equipment (DME) navigation, 4) develop real time graphics software using ANSI standard graphics, 5) develop software to test GPS equipment as interfaced to the GRDCUS datalink instrumentation, 6) develop and maintain software for specific QF106, QF4, BQM34A and MQM107E applications for GRDCUS, 7) develop software for the integration of the QF-4 into GRDCUS and Drone Formation Control System at White Sands Missile Range, NM, and 8) develop and maintain software for the GRDCUS Mobile Control System. Contractors responding must indicate whether they are or are not a Small Business concern or Small Disadvantaged Business concern as defined in FAR 52.219-1 and 52-219-2 respectively. The Air Force reserves the right to consider a Small Business Set-Aside based on responses hereto. For information concerning technical aspects contact 96 CCSG/SSAC, Jane Colee, 904-882-2016.
