13 -- LONG STANDOFF WARHEADS SOL DAAE30-97-R-0320 DUE 101697 POC Louis J. Sylvain, Contracting Officer, (973) 724-3965 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/procacts.htm. E-MAIL: Allan Heller, aheller@pica.army.mil. U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC intends to evaluate Long Standoff Warheads that might be developed to become potential insertion candidates for "hit-to-kill" anti-armor missiles. This will be accomplished by procuring and testing six to eight (6-8) warheads at very long standoffs. Interested contractors will submit designs of their warheads, and warhead test data at long standoffs, for evaluation. The selected warheads will be built in accordance with submitted designs. Research and development efforts will not be considered. The warheads should have an outside diameter of up to 175mm. In addition to the normal packaging constraints, i.e. diameter, length, and weight, the Government may specify that the warheads be filled with the explosive LX-14-0 or an HMX based equivalent. The body material should be aluminum with a minimum thickness of 0.13cm (1.30mm). The Government will favor candidates that do not contain materials (other than explosives) that present environmental, safety or health problems. In order to receive a copy of the RFP, a SECRET Facility Clearance is required. (0261)
