NAVSTAR GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) INDUSTRY DAYS Our agency is identifying qualified sources to participate in Industry Days. The Institute of Navigation (ION) is holding its 8th Annual Conference at Palm Springs, California during the period 11 Sep 95 through 15 Sep 95. The NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) Joint Program Office (JPO) is planning to provide qualified prospective vendors an opportunity for technical presentations to members of the GPS JPO staff. The JPO is planning to identify potential commercial solutions to current and future DoD technical challenges, as appropriate, for user applications. Based upon current information on products presently available or expected to be available in the near future the GPS JPO will likely show technical interest in using multiple parallel correlators and/or highly accurate low power timing sources for direct Y-Code acquisition, Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) signal processing, beam steering and null forming antennas for use against multiple, mixed types of high and low power jammers, coupling of GPS with Inertial Navigation System (INS), Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and Multi-Chip Module (MCM) applications, methods to reduce the GPS User Range Error (URE) contribution and more flexible and efficient acquisition methodologies. Those vendors having applicable interest, qualifications, capability, and background must submit documentation that demonstrates their historical ability to design, manufacture, and test GPS user equipment and have physical and functional integration experience in integrating and testing sophisticated GPS avionics. Interested vendors should restrict the size of their response to approximately ten briefing chart pages total. Due to time constraints, presentations will be limited to approximately thirty contractors. All briefings and materials will be unclassified. The interested parties should submit their statement of capability to 1Lt Roger Gonzalez, SMC/CZUE, 2435 Vela Way, Suite 1613, LAAFB, CA 90245-5500 not later than 15 days after publication of this notice. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of information submitted nor otherwise pay for information solicited through this announcement. Contracting Office - Mr. Sid Martin (310) 363-6371.
