59 -- PROGRAMMABLE ADVANCED SYSTEMS INTERFACE SIMULATORS (PASIS) AND SEMI SMART CAPTIVE AIR TRAINING MISSILE (SSCATM)(AMRAAM) SOL F08626-94-C-0029 POC Contact Mr. Verl A. Corley, Contract Specialist at (904) 882-9456 ext 246, or Capt Mark Dillon, Contracting Officer, (904) 882-3954, Ext. 567. 17. The U.S. Government intends to award a sole source contract to Hughes Missile Systems Co. for 20 (ea.) Semi-Smart Captive Air Training Missile (SSCATM) modification kits and two (ea) Programmable Advanced System Interface Simulator (PASIS). The SSCATM is a captive missile that incorporates an electronics module and a specially engineered ballast into a Captive Air Training Missile (CATM) in order to simulate the presence and responses of a live AMRAAM missile. SSCATM is a valuable training device that maintains the same shape, weight, center of gravity, and captive carry characteristics of a live weapon, with the added capability of providing actual AMRAAM communications to the aircraft and pilot. The contractor shall provide modification kits to convert the CATM-120 (-106 configuration) to the Semi-Smart configuration. The kits shall consist of electronics with embedded software to enable the unit to simulate a missile response to an aircraft or test set Built in Test interrogation and necessary cabling to connect the electronics package to the missile umbilical. The modification kit shall also include a replacement ballast capable of housing the electronics and shall maintain the original weight and center of balance of the CATM-120B (-106 configuration). The modification kit electronics shall be capable of being set by a SSCATM Mode Selector to return GOOD, FAILED, or DEGRADED response mode as defined by the latest interface specification (DS-32050-682 with SCNs) approved by the Government when provided a BIT interrogation. The contractor shall validate and verify the integration of the performance of the modification kit prior to initial delivery. This shall consist of a combination of testing and analysis to verify proper execution of BIT cycles, retention of applicable CATM mass properties relevant to a captive carry mission, and durability of the modification kit under the environmental conditions to be experienced during captive carry flight. The Programmable Advanced Sysems Interface Simulator (PASIS) is a tester that is utilized to test the quality of the AMRAAM interface on fighter aircraft. PASIS simulates the presence and responses of up to 6 (ea) AMRAAM missiles while storing all the data transactions related to prelaunch as well as postlaunch data-link information. Upon completion of a test session, PASIS organizes and displays or prints all the resultant data in a variety of formats. PASIS is used to perform engineering tests on developmental and operational aircraft at all levels of deployment. This synopsis is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered an IFB or RFP and is not to be considered a commitment by the Government. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which will be considered by the agency. See Note 22. (0338)
