A--INTRODUCTION: Wright Laboratory (WL/AAKD) is interested in receiving proposals (technical and cost) on the research effort described below. Proposals in response to this PRDA shall be submitted by 96MAR20, 1500 hours Eastern Time, addressed to Wright Laboratory, Directorate of R&D Contracting, Building 7, Area B, Attn.: (Ms. T. Kristina Hansman, WL/AAKD) Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7607. This is an unrestricted solicitation. Small businesses are encouraged to propose on all or any part of this solicitation. Proposals submitted shall be in accordance with this announcement. Proposal submission after the cutoff date specified herein shall be treated in accordance with restrictions of FAR 52.215-10, copy of this provision may be obtained from the contracting point of contact. There will be no other solicitation issued in regard to this requirement. Offerors should be alert for any PRDA amendments that may permit subsequent submission of proposal dates. Offerors should request a copy of the WL Guide entitled, ''PRDA and BAA Guide for Industry''. This guide was specifically designed to assist Offerors in understanding the PRDA/BAA proposal process. Copies may be requested from WL/PKO, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7607, telephone (513)255-6969. B--REQUIREMENTS: (1) Technical Description: The objective of this effort is to develop and test new Electronic Warfare (EW) concepts and algorithms based on the results from in-house and previous contractual programs and adapt/implement these algorithms/concepts in a software simulation to develop specifications for developing future and modifying current EW threat warning systems and ELINT threat analysis tools. The simulation will be a mechanism for evaluating new concepts applicable to EW and ELINT processing systems. Current operational systems have highly integrated Deinterleaving, identification (ID), and signal analysis software. This program will investigate new and innovative deinterleave techniques which utilize and exploit correlation, new independent signal type declaration software, probability analysis in ID generation, pattern recognition, unintentional modulation on pulse, frequency modulation on pulse, artificial intelligence, and signal tracking algorithms. As part of this effort, the contractor should consider the appropriateness of a Joint Modeling and Simulation System (JMASS) interface. Additionally, the program will implement/integrate simulations of aircraft flight path, inertial navigation system (INS), global positioning system (GPS), interferometric, frequency and time Doppler passive ranging, and broadband, superheterodyne, and channelized receiver types into the simulation. The results of these investigations will be used to modify/enhance the software tools developed in previous programs, Range Angle Analysis Program (RANGLAN), Precision Location and ID (PLAID) Program, RAD Insertion Programs, Electronic Warfare Processing Elements II (EWPE) Program. These developments will be coded in a high order language, such as ADA or C++, for demonstration on the WL/AAWP-1 Digital Alpha Workstation running OSF UNIX. The major milestones of the program are: Software Modeling Development (3Q97), CDR (1Q98), Software Model Validation (1Q99), Software Model Acceptance on Laboratory Alpha Computer (3Q99), Final Report (3Q99).(2) Deliverable Items: The following deliverable data items shall be proposed: (a) R&D Status Report, DI-MGMT-80368/T, monthly, (b) Funds and Man-hour Expenditure Report, DI-FNCL-80331/T monthly, (c) Project Planning Chart, DI-MGMT-80507A/T monthly, (d) Contract Funds Status Report (CFSR), DI-F-6004B/T, quarterly, (e) Presentation Material, DI-3024A/T, as required, (f) Informal Technical Information Contractor's Billing Voucher, DI-S-30593/T, bi-monthly, and (g) Scientific and Technical Reports, DI-MISC-80711/T, (Draft (3 cpys) and Reproducible Final (1cy)), (h) Software Development Plan, Contractor Format determined at PDR, (i) Software Users Manual, Contractor Format determined at PDR, (j) Software Programmers Manual Contractor Format determined at PDR, and (k) Software Design Document, Contractor Format determined at PDR. (3) Security Requirements: TEMPEST requirements will apply. Generation of classified material for this solicitation effort is authorized only on equipment approved for classified processing by Air Force TEMPEST authorities. (4) Other Special Requirements: International Traffic in Arms Regulations apply. END OF PART 1 OF 2 PARTS (0011)
