COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JUNE 7,1996 PSA#1611US Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, CSSD-CM-CN, PO Box 1500,
Huntsville, AL 35807-3801/106 Wynn Drive, Huntsville, AL 35805-1990 A -- DASG60-96-0056 - ANTI-RADIATION MISSILE COUNTERMEASURE EVALUATOR
(ACE) REQUIREMENT POC Kenneth L. Bragg, Jr., Contract Specialist,
CSSD-CM-CN/Linda N. Bentley, Contracting Officer, CSSD-CM-CN, (205)
955-1187. The U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command (USASSDC),
Missile Defense Battle Integration Center, is seeking industry
capabilities for the development and continued operation of the
Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM) Countermeasure Evaluator (ACE) facility
located in the Advanced Research Center (ARC) of the USASSDC. The ACE
facility is a hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM)
countermeasure electronic warfare (EW) test bed/simulator which is
used to develop radar survivability features to defeat and or mitigate
the ARM threat. The objective of this effort is to continue the
development of the ACE Facility to allow the integration of all known
anti-radiation missiles/platforms; to conduct ARM Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) countermeasures for radar
development, to develop radar receiver/signal processing capabilities
within the ACE employing actual ARM receivers/signal processors; to
provide the ACE facility with displays and controls so that it can
serve as a training aid for radar operators; to provide multiple ARM
engagement capability; to provide ACE with a multi-mode ARM seeker
capability and to provide ACE with a capability to be Distributed
Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant such that it provides a seamless
simulation to higher Synthetic Battlefield Environments (SBE)
simulation and Battle Labs virtual prototyping systems. This effort
also includes operations and support measures to include logistics,
test, maintenance, calibration, repair, and security necessary for a
government owned-contractor operated facility. This effort will require
extensive research into radar signal processing, electronic warfare,
Electronic Countermeasures/Electronic Counter Counter Measures
(ECM/ECCM), information theory, antenna theory, aircraft kinematics/
aerodynamics, microwave radars transmitters and receivers. It will also
require extensive knowledge and experience with large scale simulations
and DIS/Virtual Prototyping technology. The period of performance will
be 36 months, plus two (2) twelve-month options. A bidders library
will be established to provide representatives of interested firms with
an opportunity to familiarize themselves with this system. A SECRET
clearance will be required for this effort and for access to the
bidders library. It is anticipated that foreign participation will not
be allowed. Interested firms should submit a summary of their
qualifications and a letter indicating their intent to submit a
proposal within fifteen (15) days of the publication date of this
notice. Such letters should be addressed to USASSDC, ATTN:
CSSD-CM-CN/Kenneth Bragg. Firms responding are requested to include the
necessary security information regarding their facility clearance and
indicate whether they are a small business, small disadvantaged
business, educational institution, other non-profit institution, or
large business. The applicable SIC code and size for this acquisition
is 8731 and 1,000 employees. This synopsis is an advance notice for
information and planning purposes only and is not a formal solicitation
for proposals. (0157) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0017 19960606\A-0017.SOL)
