PM Intelligence Fusion, 1616 Anderson Road, McLean, VA

58 -- SINGLE SOURCE PROCESSOR -- SIGINT SOL DAAB07- POC Mr. Gary Brain, SSP-S System Manager, (703) 275-8085. The Project Manager, Intelligence Fusion is interested in locating sources who are capable of performing specialized upgrades to the All Source Analysis System (ASAS) communications subsystsems. ASAS is a tactical intelligence system that is currently fielded to 24 operational Army units. It operates System High in a Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) environment. Half of the communications subsystems are housed in S-250 shelters using Version 3 of the Communications Support Processor (CSP) software on PDP-11 computers. The other subsystems are in transit cases using the CGS-100 software on rugged PC computers. These subsystems contain a year 2000 software problem and must be upgraded. The upgrade will consist of hardware and software modifications to provide secure communications for both multi-level record traffic and system high network connectivity with file transfer. Hardware upgrades will make maximum use of the Army's Common Hardware/Software (CHS) products. A mature Version 5.X of the CSP software will be provided by CECOM but with new communications protocols that cannot be fully engineered or tested until an initial fielding under this procurement. Upgrades and training will be performed at each deployment site on a non-interference basis with personnel cleared to the Top Secret (TS)/SCI level and are expected to be a significant schedule driver. The required tasks are: design upgrades for both shelter and transit cased versions; provide full documentation of the changes; develop test plans and procedures; upgrade training materials; conduct training for government tester and TRADOC personnel; implement the systems integration test program; provide modification kits for all operational systems; install the hardware at each site; coordinate with CECOM for software installation; and assist or supplement TRADOC personnel to conduct operator training. Due to the tight schedule, the government will only consider organizations that possess SCI approved facilities, SCI cleared staff, and direct relevant experience in most of the following areas: CSP V5.x software, shelter modifications, Intelligence and Electronic Warfare (IEW) tactical communications (including MSE circuit, MSE packet, NRP, Autodin, TYC-39, Trojan, NEWSDEALER, JWICS and SATCOM), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) security accreditation testing, TRADOC approved training programs, ASAS, CHS and DMS. Written responses must be received not later than 15 days from date of initial publication. (0354)
