14 -- TEST MISSILE KIT POC Michael J. Poitevin, (408) 742 -- 0294 E-MAIL: mike.poitevin@lmco.com, mike.poitevin@lmco.com. PART: U. S. NAVY PROCUREMENTS SUBJECT: POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT POC: M. J. POITEVIN (408) 742 -- 0294 Purpose: Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space Company invites all interested sources to participate in the redeisgn and/or production of the Test Missile Kit utilized in the TRIDENT II (D5) Missile Flight Test Program. Description: Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space Company, 1111 Lockheed Martin Way, Sunnyvale, Ca. 94088 intends to solicit for the replacement of obsolete and or out of production Test Missile Kit Components. Total quantity of kits is approximately 135. The Test Missile Kit is composed of three subsystems, tracking, telemetry and flight termination. Tracking incorporates components required to acquire missile location utilizing GPS and to perform on board processing or translation to a telemetry subsystem compatible input. The telemetry system incorporates components that compile analog and digital data from remote locations through out the missile into two digital data links (1.2 mega bits each) which are transmitted via RF to ground stations. The flight termination system incorporates a destruct radio frequency unit, power control components and ordinance initiation units. All three systems require dedicated batteries. Updated components utilizing state of the art technology are being considered as candidate replacements for all present components. Modification of system architecture is being considered to accommodate cost effective commercial off the shelf components(COTS). Optional ordnance initiation concepts are being considered to protect against unavailability or unacceptable cost for duplicating present high voltage design. Alternate concepts and or high voltage piece parts are being solicited. However, in all instances low cost is a significant issue in technology and component selection. Schedule: Initial evaluation will be completed first quarter CY1999 with submittal of a proposal. Contracts may commence last quarter CY 1999 with first production units available 2002 with continuing production. Support of this schedule and cost definition require final system architecture, package definition and piece part selection completion in CY 1998. Information: For a listing of candidate components and systems and to receive additional information on the procurement please contact Michael J.
