A -- MILITARY OPERATIONS IN URBAN TERRAIN (MOUT) PROJECTS COVERED BY BAA NAWCTSD 96-1, PREVIOUSLY SYNOPSIZED SOL NAWCTSD BAA 96-1 DUE 101598 POC TECHNICAL POINT OF CONTACT: Mr. Jim Bostick, (407) 380-4181; PCO: BOB RIDDLE (407) 380-4095 WEB: NAWCTSD home page, Request for Proposal, http://www.ntsc.navy.mil/contract/procure.htm. E-MAIL: robert_riddle@ntsc.navy.mil, jim_bostick@ntsc.navy.mil. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), Program Directorate Marine Corps Ground Programs, U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM), and Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation (AFAMS), all of Orlando, FL, have comprehensive modeling, simulation, instrumentation and training systems responsibilities ranging from research and technology base development through systems acquisition and life cycle support. The missions of these organizations support a broad customer base including all military services, DoD, and non-DoD organizations, and include MOUT-IS ATD. This synopsis seeks the identification of potential Weapon and Target Modeling projects covered by the NAWCTSD Broad Agency Announcement BAA NAWCTSD 96-1, previously synopsized. The topics of specific interest included under Part III (Research Interests) are Topics 1-N (Individual and Small Infantry Training Systems) and 2-E (Weapon Fire Simulation). NAWCTSD is actively seeking proposals for the instrumentation of additional weapons, rotary wing aircraft and smart targetry to be used in the Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) environment located at Camp Lejeune, NC. The newly developed weapons and targets must integrate with the existing instrumentation system. The current system integrates Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, radios, computer hardware and software with Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) equipment. All interested parties are encouraged to contact the MOUT-IS ATD technical point of contact (TPOC) to determine the extent of interest in a specific research project before submitting a white paper. All white papers will be reviewed; only parties submitting acceptable white papers will be invited to submit a proposal. The recommended four-step sequence is: telephone call, informal white paper, proposal, and contract award for selected projects. This sequence allows earliest determination of the potential for funding and avoids contractor and Government time spent on efforts that may have little chance of being supported. The MOUT-IS ATD TPOC is Mr. Jim Bostick, (407) 380-4181. When, and if, invited to submit a proposal, proposals should be sent to NAWCTSD, Contracts Division, Code 25723, ATTN: Robert Riddle, 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826-3275. Proposals received by October 15, 1998 will receive preference in being processed for evaluation. Please refer to NAWCTSD BAA 96-1 for specific information on proposal preparation, proposal evaluation, proposal forms, and other research interest areas. BAA NAWCTSD 96-1 remains unchanged and parties that have already received a copy need not request another. New requests for copies of BAA NAWCTSD 96-1 must be in writing and faxed to the attention of Robert H. Riddle at (407) 380-4495. No solicitation shall be released. Contracts for selected proposals will be awarded no earlier than October 1, 1998 and can be for a period not to exceed two years. Anticipated funding for this initiative for FY99 and FY00 under the BAA is projected to be approximately $3-5M. (0103)
