K -- MINIATURE-MULTIPLE THREAT EMITTER SYSTEM (MINI-MUTES) MODIFICATIONS DUE 080197 POC Mr Dan Braxton, 850-882-9391 X5069, Mr Roland Baez, 850-882-9391 X5050 The Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center, Range Instrumentation Systems Program Office Contracting Division (ASC/WMRK) plans to contract sole source with Harris Corporation to perform modifications to the AN/MST-T1V, Miniature-Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-MUTES). Modifications include the following: 1) replace current computer with open architecture structure; 2) upgrade current tracking capability to track high speed/maneuvering aircraft in close proximity to the threat simulator; 3) provide automatic reactive threat capability to degrade threat simulator tracking modes based on electronic counter-measures (ECM) received, expendables, maneuvers, and terrain masking; 4) interface three highest priority advanced threats onto existing Remote Emitter Unit (REU) pedestals providing emitter only, full power, and high fidelity waveforms sufficient to stimulate current and future radar warning receivers (RWR); 5) enhance aircrew training feedback with addition of video boresight camera capability, overlaying ECM analysis onto video, transmitting video to data consolidation point, and combining data for enhanced post-mission debrief to aircrews; 6) interface between existing Measurement and Debriefing Systems (MDS) directly to Mini-MUTES REU pedestal(s) in addition to the requirement for the Master Control Group(MCG), allow pointing/controlling directly via MDS, and debrief capability with Range Integrated Instrumentation System; 7) provide remote deployment capability to include carrying video/command data/system status to and from central control point via data link and be interoperable with existing threat simulator infrastructure; and 8) provide remote auxiliary power unit operations. This modification effort is for Research and Development ( R&D) with production options for kits which must be integrated with existing Mini-MUTES hardware and software. This modification is, in part, a continuation of efforts currently under separate contract between the Air Force and Harris Corporation, contract FO8635-90-C-0035, Mini- MUTES. Completion of development of the first advanced threat configuration kit is required by March 2000 with production options beginning in FY01. There are a total of 17 Mini-MUTES REU pedestals (including two R&D REU's) requiring modification to the advanced threat configuration. In addition to the above, the Air Force and Harris are currently under contract to develop a tracking upgrade for the Mini-Mutes REU. Also, a separate contractual effort to design, develop, and test proof of concept for a computer replacement is on contract and scheduled for delivery by December 1998. The number of computer replacements and tracking upgrade kits will be for all 78 REU's (includes the 17 advance threat configuration REU's) and 20 MCG's. Government property currently in place at Harris, including REU pedestal(s) and special test equipment used in the development and production of the Mini-MUTES, has been furnished to Harris Corporation to be used in the execution of the computer replacement and tracking upgrade development efforts. All these development efforts described above will provide a production baseline for the modification efforts described in this announcement. Reprocurement data from these separate development efforts that would allow for competitive interest in this effort will not be available until production kits are procured which is anticipated in FY01. This is not a request for proposal. Contract award is anticipated to be on or about 1 Feb 98. Program Management and Technical questions should be directed to Major Sam Arroyo or Mr. Dave Norris, (916) 643-3590 or Mr. Dan Braxton, (850) 882-9391, Ex 5069. Contractual questions regarding this acquisition should be directed to Mr Roland Baez, Contracting Officer at (850) 882-9391, Ex 5050. Numbered Note 22 applies. (0183)
