A -- BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT: NAVAL AIR VEHICLE PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY DUE 093095 POC Commanding Officer, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, (AIR 4.4T), 22467 Millstone Road, Mailstop 3, Patuxent River, MD 20670- 5304, (301) 342-7850, Extension 119. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Propulsion and Power Engineering Department, Science and Technology Office (AIR 4.4T) is interested in receiving proposals for advanced propulsion technologies that will significantly increase the mission performance operational capabilities and affordability of Naval Air Vehicles. Specifically needed are Exploratory Development of advanced gas turbine propulsion component and materials technologies for Fighter/Attack Aircraft Engines, Patrol/ Transport/ Support/ Surveillance Fixed and Rotary Wing Aircraft Engines, Lethal/Non-Lethal Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and High Risk/ High Payoff Innovative Turbine Engine Technologies. The performance, life, and cost goals for these developmental efforts shall be consistent with Phase III of the DOD/NASA Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET) Initiative and the Tri-Service Reliance Science and Technology and Joint Directors of Laboratories Aeropropulsion Subpanel Joint Service Program Plans. Exploratory Development of Navy propulsion component and subsystem technologies applicable to fleet engines and near term upgrades/ derivative engines which reduce fuel consumption. Innovative concepts that facilitate integration of expendable turbo-ramjets into cruise missile airframes (to include inlets, bypass ducts and valves, and nozzles). Development/demonstration of advanced heavy fuel engine concepts/systems for UAVs. Development of fuel coalescence/filtration technology capable of operating in current shipboard and shore station vessels in the presence of coke reducing (+100F) additives; quantitative assessment of impact of coke reducing additives on Navy engine performance and maintenance. Detailed information is provided in the NAVAIR publication ''Guide to Naval Aircraft Propulsion Technology Development Programs for Fiscal Year 1996.'' Requests for this publication should be sent to: Commanding Officer, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, AIR 4.4T, 22467 Millstone Road, Mailstop 3, Patuxent River, MD 20670-5304. This notice constitutes a NAVAIR Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). This announcement will be open for one year after it appears in the Commerce Business Daily. Proposals may be submitted any time during this period. The proposal evaluation and selection for award processes will begin forty five (45) days after the appearance of this announcement. Evaluations will be conducted by a panel of governemnt (0220)
