NEW ATTACK SUBMARINE (NSSN) COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE (C3I) SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT POC SEA 02624, D. Weaver, (703) 602-7703. Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, SEA 02624, 2531 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22242-5160. As part of ongoing work under separate contracts issued under a Broad Agency Announcement, the Navy plans to convene the Open System Critical Item Test (OSCIT) Phase I Demonstration during September, 1995. The work performed under these contracts is part of the New Attack Submarine (NSSN) Program Office's continuing efforts to develop commercial off-the shelf (COTS) and open system (OS) technologies for use in command, control, communications and intelligence systems. This year's demonstration showcases an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based system which consists of 20 separate industry and Government developed projects conforming to COTS/OS standards. Each demonstration day (identical sessions) will involve a combined Navy/industry presentation and demonstrations of the OSCIT system operating in a combat scenario. The results of previous efforts under these contracts contributed to development of open system architecture requirements and a performance specification for the NSSN Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) System Development solicitation (N00024-95-R-6541) which was released on August 2, 1995. A separate identical demonstration will be held on September 19, 1995 (8:30 AM to 5:00 PM) at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Newport, Rhode Island for the benefit of potential offerors, including potential subcontractors, responding to the NSSN C3I System Development solicitation (N00024-95-R-6541). This demonstration may benefit potential offerors by disseminating additional available information on COTS/OS technologies. Nothing in the demonstration should be construed as changing the requirements set forth in this or any other solicitation. Attendance will be restricted to U.S. Citizens with appropriate security clearances on file at NUWC, Newport. Security clearance at the SECRET level is required.
