D -- SYSTEM ANALYST SUPPORT SOL DAAH03-96-R-R015 DUE 052096 POC (RDPC) L. Roberts, Contract Specialist, AMSMI-RD-PC-HA, 205/876-1716, or Harold Smith, Contracting Officer. Synopsis No. R049-96. From UNISYS Corporation, renewal of specialized UNISYS 2200/400 system analyst support. Period of Performance is one (1) basic year and four (4) option years - beginning FY97; for one (1) senior analyst at 1728 hrs/yr. The system analyst who provides support for the 2200/400 computer system, must have an understanding of the PATRIOT missile system. A custom built hardware/software interface was used to link together the UNIVAC/UNISYS 1100 series computer and the Weapons Control Computer (WCC). The WCC is a militarized computer that controls all equipment in a PATRIOT Fire Platoon (FP) or an Information and Coordination Center (ICC). An ICC controls and coordinates subordinate FPs, coordinates with adjacent battalions, and receives direction from higher Air Defense headquarters. Raytheon designed, fabricated, and installed the unique interface, which is called an Engineering Development Interface Device (EDID), at their facility and provided a replication to interface the UNISYS 2200/400 computer. This special purpose interface link requires support by one who is experienced with this special link and the UNISYS 2200/400 computer operating system. (0100)
