A -- WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS MODEL (WMD) SOL DSWA01-97-R-0029 POC Thomas L. Cox, Negotiator, (703) 325-1196, Scott G. Morton, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-1200. The objective of this effort will be to develop a WMD analysis module which will be usable in theater level engagement models including the Integrated Theater Engagement Model (ITEM), Joint Tactical Level Simulation (JTS), and Joint Warfare System (JWARS). There is no simulation which currently can adequately model the operational impact of WMD weapons, to include use, effects, defense, and counterforce, at the theater-level. This capability is essential for the analysis, development, and evaluation of military plans, tactics, and doctrine. The primary task under this effort is the modeling of operational effectiveness of military units, equipment, and personnel given a specific WMD environment. The operational effects of WMD is an important consideration for planning, development of tactics, and exercises, especially as these weapons proliferate throughout many third world countries. Because of the very large potential impact these weapons may have, the ability to accurately model them and their operational impact is critical. Contractor personnel will require a DoD security level of SECRET RD CNWDI. Contemplated period of performance is 25 months. Information on DSWA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DSWA Hotline at (703) 325-1173. As of 31 May 96, Acquisition Management has added "Procurement Opportunities" to the DSWA Home Page available on the World Wide Web. Information will include this synopsis and more.
