A -- NAVAL AIR UNDERSEA WARFARE/MARITIME PATROL SUPPORT SOL N00421-95-R-5288 DUE 111595 POC Denise A. Manross, Contract Specialist, (301) 342-1830 x129. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division has a requirement to evaluate Naval Air Platforms and Sensors, their tactical use, and future tactical and system concepts. This tasking includes detailed quantitative analyses and evaluations of current and future Navy Air Undersea Warfare (USW) systems to allow for an assessment of systems modifications, system employment tactics and associated performance improvement. Overall program objectives are to use methods of operations research to examine subsystems and entire air weapon systems under operational conditions, identify the critical and risk areas, perform effectiveness tradeoff analyses and prioritize design concepts which will enable the weapon system to meet its operational requirements. This support will be required at both the Patuxent River, MD and Warminster, PA sites. It is estimated that there will be a requirement for approximately 18,800 man-hours per year. A breakout of the estimate per labor category (per year) is as follows: Technical Manager/Senior Technical Rep. - 1880 hours, Senior Engineer - 3760 hours, Senior Analyst - 3760 hours, Engineer - 3760 hours, Analyst - 3760 hours, and Clerical Support - 1880 hours. The tasking under this requirement falls into three major categories: (1) systems analysis (includes threat definition, scenario description, mission analyses, operational concepts development, effectiveness tradeoffs, military worth evaluations, tactics development, technology prioritization, system assessment and performance evaluation), (2) analysis data base (includes concept testing, simulation, demonstration and validation programs), (3) testing and quality assurance of USW platform processor software. A Cost Plus Fixed Fee type contract is contemplated. The period of performance is estimated to be from March 1996 through February 1997, with an additional four (4) one-year options. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered. Requests for the solicitation must be in writing and can be faxed to the attention of Denise A. Manross at (301) 342-1853.
