A -- KINETIC ENERGY ANTI-SATELLITE (KE ASAT) TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM SOL DASG60-97-C-0039 POC Dianne Trimble, Contract Specialist/Linda N. Bentley, Contracting Officer, SMDC-CM-CN, (256)955-1187 The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) intends to enter into a noncompetitive contract modification to Contract DASG60-97-C-0039. The objective of this effort is to define, develop, integrate, and test the necessary Kill Vehicle (KV) and subsystem technologies to demonstrate performance of the Kinetic Energy Anti-Satellite (KE ASAT) system, with debris mitigation. The purpose of the basic effort is to provide for additional KV development/modification, support equipment, spares, fabrication, integration, test planning, testing, including simulations, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) support, ground testing, and flight qualification to bring three (3) KV's up to a flight qualified readiness status. Option I, if exercised, will conduct two (2) KV system tests. Award of this effort to other than the proposed offeror would result in substantial duplication of costs to the government. Data will be provided through simulation runs and system tests and performance prediction estimates. Static testing of the KV's (non-propulsive) in contractor provided test facilities is to be included. Additionally, the KV's shall be designed and flight qualified to meet safety, environmental, test, and Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMI/EMC) requirements for the optional system testing. The flight qualified KV's shall be capable of meeting all performance requirements for launches from the PMRF, HI, or Kodiak, AK into Kwajalein Missile Range (KMR), Marshall Islands. The contractor will be responsible for all hardware, software, and testing necessary to assure delivery of two (2) KV's to a specified point in space when separated from the STARS third stage. A SECRET facility clearance is required. The proposed effort will not be open to foreign participation. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), Boeing North American of Anaheim, CA, under existing Contract DASG60-97-C-0039, has been identified as the intended source for the above effort. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, responses received from all interested sources will be reviewed by the government and given consideration as an alternate source. All responses should be directed to SMDC-CM-CN/Dianne Trimble and must be received within fifteen (15) days from the publication date of this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Posted 12/09/98 (I-SN278769). (0343)
