W-- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON WEAPONS ENHANCEMENTS. POC G. Smith, Code 1162NC, Contracting Officer, (812) 854-3698. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane) has been named the Technical Development Agent for the US Special Operation Command (USSOCOM) Maritime Weapons Program (MARWEPS). This program is executed through the Office of Special Technology (OST) of Fort Washington, Maryland and is centered around enhancing the capabilities of Naval Special Warfare (NSW) weapon systems. The enhancements being sought are primarily being focused on conventional NSW weapon systems but may also include other weapons/systems not currently being employed in NSW. Enhancements may include, but are not limited, to sighting systems, power driven and/or stabilized gun mounts, missiles, smart munitions, torpedoes, flame launchers and/or remote controls for weapon systems. Those areas of technology that are considered to be of benefit to NSW weapon systems will be looked at for exploitation and integration into new or existing OST projects as funding becomes available. Considerations will be made for capability demonstrations for existing hardware that has technical credibility for enhancing NSW assets. For existing hardware, provide as much information, (brochures, technical documentation, VHS format videos, ...), as necessary to describe the systems and its capabilities and the availability of hardware for demonstrations. For proposed hardware, submit brief white papers describing the proposed systems and capabilities as well as developmental times and cost. In submitting responses, cost, size, weight limitations, manpower and electrical power demands must be considered as no maritime NSW assets greater than 82 feet in length are being considered for weapons enhancements related to these proposals. Contract awards stemming from this proposal will be done on a competitive basis as funding permits or through use of Cooperative Research and Development Agreements between respective contractors and NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane. Submission of proposals originting from other government organizations describing new or on-going weapons enhancement efforts are also encouraged. Written responses are requested to be made within 30 days from the publication of this notice. Extensions will be granted upon written request.
