THIRTY YEAR NAVAL AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY PROJECTION Due 043096. Point of Contact: Kenneth Sherman, Code 212, (215)441-1559. By this announcement, the Naval Air Warfare Center, Warminster, PA is soliciting interest in participation, on a non-cost basis, in a Naval aircraft technology assessment to develop a thirty (30) year projection of technologies and technical trends which may be applicable to manned and unmanned Naval aviation in the year 2025. This two-year study is entitled ``Future Aircraft Technology Silhouettes (FACTS). Thrust areas of interest include; aircraft structures; aircraft machinery; integrated avionics; cockpit technology; aircraft dynamics; sea based support and aircraft propulsion. This effort will be an unconstrained, technology-driven look at ideas, concepts and trends which could form the basis for future research and exploratory development programs supported by the Office of Naval Research and the Naval Air Systems Command. The ideas and concepts generated by this announcement may be integrated with inputs provided by in-house Navy personnel to produce future systems projections and technology trends which will be presented and discussed at a Naval Aircraft Technology Workshop, to be held in early fiscal year 1997. The workshop, with industry participation, will refine the information developed during this study phase and help to identify key research and development programs to enable the realization of the future system concepts. Anything submitted can potentially be given wide distribution to both government and industry. Therefore, no proprietary or classified information should be submitted. Each submission should clearly indicate the thrust areas of interest. The government does not intend to award any contracts on the basis of this solicitation. Participation is totally voluntary and will be uncompensated. Industry's ideas and concepts should be received by the S&T Office no later than 30 April 1996. Responses should be directed to the Naval Air Warfare Center (Aircraft Division), Science & Technology Office, Code 40000CR/MS70), ATTN: Mr. David B. Bailey (Mgr, Technology Programs), Warminster, PA 18974-0591.
