E-MAIL: Contract Specialist for Sources Sought N00178-99-Q-1005, jonessm@nswc.navy.mil. Provide support through test and analysis to determine the vulnerability/ survivability of foreign and domestic air and surface targets and their vital components to various damage mechanisms including: Fragments, projectiles, continuous rods, discrete rods, shaped charge, reactive fragments, and blast through test and analysis. Provide Hydrocode capabilities to model warheads and fragment mass distribution during explosive tests. Determine the vulnerability of cased and bare High Explosive (HE) and solid propellants up to 4,000 pounds in weight to single and multiple impacts from projectiles, fragments, continuous rods, discrete rods, reactive fragments and shaped charge. Design, fabricate, explosively load, static fire, reduce and assess data for experimental fragment/blast warheads and rocket motors. Perform melt/cast pour of explosive targets up to 2,000 pounds. Perform Insensitive munitions tests. Perform UNDOT test for classification of explosives. Provide single shot firing tests for target vulnerability accuracy and plate penetration at ranges of up to 3,000 meters. Muzzle and striking velocities will be required at all chosen target areas. Must have capabilities to provide radar data for the full flight path, breech, down bore, Image Motion Compensation, and down range camera coverage. Provide support in the design, fabrication, and testing of reactive fragments and reactive fragment warheads. Must have capabilities of compressing such materials as aluminum and Teflon powder together and installing into explosive fragments. Perform tests with light gas gun equipped with a sobot separation/gas expansion chamber and separate target chamber. Perform tests that accelerate the projectile to velocities greater than 15,000 feet per second. Perform penetration phenomenology or target vulnerability tests with light gas gun firing projectiles/fragments at explosive filled targets and bare charges containing up to 200 pounds of explosive per test. Provide complete test instrumentation required for data acquisition including but not limited to: Flash x-ray up to 1 Meg, Doppler RADAR capabilities, high speed camera coverage which must include 16mm HYCAM and both 16mm and 35mm FASTAX with a capability of up to 40,000 FF/sec, ultra-high speed camera coverage with a capability of up to 14 million frames/sec, documentary photographs with digital capability and video cameras with recorders, oscilloscopes with digitizing capability, pressure-time diagnostics for the near and far field utilizing both piezo-electric data sensors, temperature-time, 16 channel magnetic recorders, and Image Motion Compensation photographic coverage for both gun-launched and explosive launched fragments and projectiles. Provide complete machine shop services. Provide storage for up to 500,000 pounds of High Explosives and propellants. Storage must be approved for Categories 1 4 of Sensitive Arms, ammunition, and explosives. Perform detonation testing for up to 20,000 pounds of high explosive in one test. Perform tests using sled track. Possess Radioactive Material License for testing of depleted uranium and BATF license.
