A -- MONITORING ATMOSPHERIC NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS USING INFRASOUND POC Brian Wilt, Negotiator, (703) 325-6960, Scott G. Morton, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-1200 The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is seeking support from the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, for research in the field of monitoring atmospheric explosions using infrasound. The work consists of forming an event catalog of natural events, and characterizing these events, for a historical dataset of digital infrasound recording taken at Fairbanks, Alaska, and Windless Bight, Antarctica from 1981 to 1984. The Geophysical Institute is in a unique position to carry out the proposed signal identification and analysis because they have already developed the software for a comprehensive MatLab-based infrasonic data analysis system called DataScan that would be used for signal identification and they have had twenty years of experience in the identification and analysis of coherent infrasonic signals in Alaska, Canada, Sweden, and Antarctica. Note that this is a sole source procurement. See Note 22. Anyone interested in this effort can send information via fax to the attention of Brian Wilt/AMB at fax number (703) 325-9295. Acquisition Management has added "Procurement Opportunities" to the DSWA Home Page available on the World Wide Web. Information will include this synopsis and more.
