A -- ADVANCED GROUND SURFACE TARGET STUDY SOL 99-05 POC POC: MS. KRISTEN NUMRYCH Tel (703) 696-7579, FAX (703) 696-2208 E-MAIL: knumrych@darpa.mil, knumrych@darpa.mil. DARPA intends to award a sole source purchase order to Information Systems Laboratories, Inc. (ISL) to perform system and concept analysis by assessing the feasibility of advanced sensor concepts like free flying interferometric sensor arrays to significantly enhance the ability to track, ID, and kill moving targets. Each concept examined will be compared with netted monostatic sensors to determine if the concept offers a significant performance improvement. ISL will use and adapt previous designs it originated for precise array calibration, unique antenna configurations, and space-time adaptive processing as building blocks for this effort. The analysis will require use of the SCATS, a validated bistatic propagation and scattering model developed at ISL to evaluate the performance of alternative concepts. ISL's unique designs and capabilities make it the ideal candidate to perform this effort within a reasonable cost and schedule. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Contractors capable of offering their service must respond within 15 days of the date of this notice by submitting specific technical capability to provide this service. All responses received within 15 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
