A -- PARTICLE-SIMULATION OF NUCLEAR AND EXTREME NATURAL ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS SOL DNA001-95-R-0057 POC Jennifer Seaton, Negotiator, (703) 325-9368, Edward Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5028. This effort focuses on specific nuclear weapon effect (NWE) simulation techniques which are likely to produce data of higher order accuracy for applications to new systems. The intent is to exploit the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA)-developed new codes, called sophisticated hybrid particle simulation (SHYPS), vortex-in-cell, and compressible vortex-in-cell (VIC/CVIC) codes involving vortex-particles to perform numerical simulation of specific NWE environments with enhanced accuracy. The simulation results are to be used for producing higher fidelity models and data sets which are critical to the development of new DoD systems. Specifically, the effort will address the nuclear disturbed environments operability issues of sensors on theater high-altitude air defense (THAAD) interceptors, other theater missile defense (TMD) systems, and the upcoming space-based infrared satellite (SBIRS) system, as well as their communication links. Requests for copies of the RFP must be submitted in writing and include a point of contact, phone number, and fax number. Telephone requests will not be accepted. This procurement will be a small business set-aside. For information contact Jennifer Seaton at (703) 325-9368, FAX (703) 325-9291. Information on DNA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DNA Hotline at (703) 325-1173. Reference Synopsis No. 95-81 (0237)
