A -- SCAMP BLOCK II PRE-MARKET SURVEY SOL DAAB07- POC Mr. Lawrence A. Asch, Contracting Officer or Ms. Jo-Ann Lee, Contract Specialist, (908)532-5486. Upcoming SCAMP Block II Market Survey. The CECOM Acquisition Center and PM, Milstar (Army), in preparation for the Single Channel Anti-Jam Manpackable (SCAMP) Block II Program, are preparing a Market Survey Questionnaire for industry. This questionnaire will be released on or about 19 Mar 1996 on the CECOM Acquisition Center Electronic Bullentin Board. Background: The Department of Defense has been developing Extremely High Frequency (EHF) Satellite Communications Terminals since the mid 1980's as an element of the Milstar satellite communications system. These terminals provide enhanced low probability of intercept, low probability of detection, and anti-jam performance capabilities required for world-wide critical command and control communications. One of the key objectives of the Milstar program is to provide this capability to special operations and rapid deployment forces in a small, manpackable configuration, otherwise known as the Block II Single Channel Anti-Jam Manpackable (SCAMP) terminal. To achieve the objective Block II SCAMP terminal, various technology efforts have been undertaken by the Army, ARPA and other DOD agencies in an effort to facilitate the achievement of a smaller and lighter EHF terminal. The successes achieved in these engineering feasibility efforts lead to the next step in the program; the development of the Block II SCAMP. The questionnaire will address expected capabilities of the Block II terminal, reflecting the existing Milstar Advanced Satellite Terminal (MAST) Operational Requirements Document (ORD) and the concept of Cost as an Independent Variable (CAIV). Responses are expected the week of 29 April 96. The Government will support one-on-one meetings between Industry and the Government. POC's for this action are Mr. Lawrence A. Asch and Ms. Jo-Ann Lee, CECOM Acquisition Center, Phone: (908)532-5486.
