This includes: (1) a critical analysis of physical phenomena; (2) an estimate of the energy accumulated in and released from isolated small particles and the ensembles; (3) search for ways of increasing the energy stored and released. DSWA believes that the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute is the only responsible source having the resources and experience to accomplish this work within the required time lines. Any firm desiring consideration must fully identify their capability to perform this effort. See Note 22 (substitute 15 day proposal receipt period in lieu of 45 day period). Information on DSWA solicitation, already released, can be obtained by calling the DSWA Hotline at (703) 325-1173.
