A -- DISCRIMINATION ANALYSIS AND DESIGN SOL DASG60-95-0141 POC Belinda J. Williams, Contract Specialist, (205) 955-3440. Ballistic Missile Defense Program for participation in ''Ground Based Radar (GBR) Discrimination Analysis and Design (DA&D)'' effort. The proposed contract action is a follow-on to Contract DASG60-92-C-0196 with XonTech, Inc., for supplies and services for which the government intends to competetively solicit and negotiate. The contractor will be required to 1) Deliver to the government, specifications (code and documentation) of advanced radar discrimination algorithms, consistent with the GBR system developer's discrimination architecture and radar resources, 2) For each algorithm, provide the government with the operational requirements and parameters (such as, waveforms, pulse repetition intervals, data sampling intervals) as a function of target size, shape, motion excursions, radar viewing geometry sensitivities, and engagement variations, 3) Develop a discrimination testbed capability at the Advanced Research Center, Huntsville, AL which shall include seeker and BM/C3 models of sufficient fidelity to perform Monte Carlo analysis of discrimination algorithms and architectures, 4) Determine how delivered discrimination algorithms and the GBR system developer's architecture can be leveraged to support the system architecture in such areas as missile system identification, intercept planning, target object map creation, handover, aimpoint selection, and kill assessment, 5) Provide an independent expert analysis on the GBR system developer's discrimination architecture and analyze radar data from flight test experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the GBR system developer's discrimination function, 6) Conduct additional discrimination development as necessary for the TRD advanced threats, pen aids, and countermeasures. A current TOP SECRET facility and storage clearance will be required for performance. Firms that believe they can perform this requirement may submit a capability statement. The statement must include: (a) description of general and specific assets/facilities, (b) total number of personnel and professional qualifications of scientists, engineers, and personnel specifically qualified in this R&D area, (c) list of pas discrimination contracts with a description of specific innovations, or significant products accepted by the discrimination, radar, or test communities, (d) List of radar discrimination algorithms currently available for near term NMD RTD support (e) description of test flight data library/sources available for evaluating discrimination algorithms, (f) description of data processing capabilities for analyzing GBR test flight discrimination performance. The above stated information must be submitted in writing within fifteen (15) days after publication of this notice to U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, ATTN: Belinda Williams, CSSD-CM-CT, P.O. Box 1500, Huntsville, AL 35807-3801 and cite number DASG60-95-0141. This notice is not a formal solicitation. It is anticipated that this program effort will not be open for participation to foreign firms at the prime contract level. Small business firms responding should indicate whether they are a small disadvantaged business, the size standard for which is 1,000 employees (SIC 8731). No telephone inquiries will be accepted.
