A -- RESEARCH SERVICES SOL W26238 8149-4001 DUE 070198 POC Bonita Zander, Purchasing Agent, 410-278-6515, Jean Craig, Contrcting Officer, 410-278-6517 The Army Research Laboratory intends to negotiate with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab to perform a system study to examine the feasibility of a full bandwidth GPS translator as a highly accurate time, space, position information (TSPI) source for the test and evaluation (T&E) of high flight dynamic projectiles and missiles. This effort supports The Hardened Subminiature Telemetry and Sensor System (HSTSS). The feasibility study must also provide a plan for "commercialization" of such a system providing estimates of the funding profile to establish a commercial source for such a complex measurement system. Experience with post processing of GPS and inertial measurement instruments (IMU) to provide TSPI and angular position data must be demonstrated so as to assess the establishment/transfer of this ability to the government. Demonstrated experience in all of these areas by a single source is required. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability. Information received will be considered only for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Capabilities statements referencing W26238 8149-4001 may be faxed to (410) 278-6522. No telephone requests will be honored. See Numbered Note(s):22 ***** (0161)
