NAVSTAR GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) JOINT PROGRAM OFFICE (JPO) USER EQUIPMENT (UE) INDUSTRY DAYS AT INSTITUTE OF NAVIGATION (ION) 8TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE POC Technical Contact Point: 1Lt Roger Gonzalez, (310) 363-6389; Contracting Officer: Mr. Sid Martin (310) 363-6371. CORRECTION: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) USER EQUIPMENT INTEGRATED PRODUCT TEAM (IPT) INDUSTRY DAYS. This is a clarification to CBD Special Notice #80 published 15 Aug 95, same subject. The Air Force is leading a triservice team for the Service Acquisition Executives to develop an integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) User Equipment Installation Plan. Industry involvement is essential to our success, and we are looking for innovative solutions to the challenges listed below to ensure all potential solutions are addressed. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of information submitted nor otherwise pay for information solicited through this announcement. The NAVSTAR GPS Joint Program Office is representing the triservice team by identifying interested potential sources for GPS to participate in Industry Days to be conducted in conjunction with the Institute of Navigation (ION) 8th Annual Conference at Palm Springs, California during the period 12 Sep 95 through 15 Sep 95. The triservice team is planning to provide prospective vendors an opportunity to make technical presentations to members of the IPT team. The intent is to identify potential commercial solutions to current and future DoD technical challenges, as appropriate, for use applications. Based upon current information on products presently available or expected to be available in the near future the team 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, capability, and background are encouraged to 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 a total of approximately ten briefing chart pages. Due to time constraints, presentations will be limited to approximately thirty vendors. All briefings and materials shall be unclassified. Although presentations will be limited to approximately 30 vendors, all interested vendors are encouraged to submit the requested information. Interested parties should submit the requested information to 1Lt Roger Gonzalez, SMC/CZUE, 2435 Vela Way, Suite 1613, LAAFB, CA 90245-5500 not later than 31 Aug 95. This announcement will also be placed in the Federal Register.
