The ''PRDA and BAA Guide for Industry'' can be found on the Internet at address: http://www.wl.wpafb.af.mil/contract/hp.htm. B-REQUIREMENTS: (1) Technical Description: The purpose of this effort is to define/develop detailed interfaces and both design and operational Measures of Performance (MOPs) and Measures of Effectiveness(MOEs) for an avionics fusion architecture. The Avionics Directorate (WL/AA) Information Fusion Integrated Product Team (IPT) has defined an open object-oriented avionics information fusion architecture. Copies of this functional definition may be requested from WL/AAAS-3, Mr. Victor Clark, telephone (513) 255-6974. Under this effort, the contractor shall design and develop an open avionics fusion architecture based on the functional definitions defined by the WL/AA Information Fusion IPT. The resulting architecture will implement containers or objects for each functional area, as well as the detailed interfaces between each component. This fusion architecture shall be based, to the greatest extent possible, on industry standards to facilitate community acceptance. In addition, the contractor shall develop MOPs/MOEs for each component contained in the WL/AA Information Fusion IPT functional definition and for the overall fusion architecture. (2) Deliverable Items: The following deliverable data items shall be proposed: (a) Scientific and Technical Reports, Final Report, DI-MISC-80711/T, (Draft and Reproducible Final), (b) Contract Funds Status Report (CFSR), DI-F-6004B/T, quarterly, (c) Performance and Cost Report, DI-FNCL-80912/T monthly, (d) Funds and Manhour Expenditure Report, DI-FNCL-80331/T monthly, (e) Scientific and Technical Reports, Contractor's Billing Voucher, DI-MISC-80711/T monthly, (f) Presentation Material, DI-ADMN-81373/T, as required; (g) Data Accession List, DI-MGMT-81453/T, semi-yearly, (h) Software Test Plan (STP), DI-IPSC-81438/T, (i) Computer Software Product End Item, DI-MCCR-80700/T, (j) Conference Minutes, DI-ADMN-81250A/T, as required, (k) Software Design Description (SDD), DI-IPSC-81435/T, (l) Interface Design Description (IDD), DI-IPSC-81436/T, (m) Database Design Description (DBDD), DI-IPSC-81437/T, (n) Software User Manual (SUM), (Draft and Reproducible Final), and (o) Computer Software as generated is deliverable. (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 (ITAR) apply. End of Part 1. (0071)
