A -- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRON GUN AND COLLECTOR DESIGN TOOLS SOL N00014-97-R-JR04 POC Jerry Riles, Contract Specialist, Code 3220.JR (202) 767-6541, Wayne A. Carrington, Contracting Officer E-MAIL: Click here to forward a request via e-mail, synopsis@contracts.nrl.navy.mil. The Naval Research Laboratory(NRL) conducts research and development on both high power fast wave and slow wave amplifiers. Further progress in these programs require improvements in the accuracy, fidelity, speed, and user-friendliness of electron gun and depressed collector design. Contractor support is required for these investigations. The goal of this program is to develop new techniques that will allow simulation design tools to approach first-pass design success in the development of electron gridded and ungrided guns and collectors. Individual tasks are as follows: Task 1- Develop a basic two-dimensional gun/collector electrostatic design tool using unstructured numerical grid model; Task 2- Develop an advanced two-dimensional gun/collector electrostatic design tool using unstructured numerical grid model; Task 3- Develop an advanced three-dimensional gun/collector electrostatic design tool using a structured numerical model; Task 4-Develop an advanced three-dimensional gun/collector electrostatic design tool using a deformable or an unstructured numerical grid model; Task 5- validation of gun and collector design tools; Task 6- Transition, Training, and Support. The period of performance for the Base effort is 24 months with two(2) 12 month options. Request for information to this notice should be submitted in writing to the Naval Research Laboratory, Attn: Code 3220:JR, 4555 Overlook Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20375-5326, or by forwarding a request to SYNOPSIS@CONTRACTS.NRL.NAVY.MIL. Facsimile requests may be forwarded to (202) 767-5896 or (202) 767- 6197. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. Solicitation closes thirty (30) days after issuance. See referenced numbered Note 1.
