Shires, Jr., 703-325-6684, Contracting Officer E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, carol.dickerso@dtra.mil. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has a requirement to develop and demonstrate system hardening technologies for space, missile, and interceptor systems which are necessary to recover from prompt ionizing radiation and SEE effects. This includes analysis, assessment, technology development, and test and evaluation. The objectives are to support the implementation of Testable Hardware methodologies by ensuring the availability of technology for the hardening of systems which must circumvent and recover. This effort will support the development of two technologies in two phases: Phase I -- a macro library(s) addressing circumvention and recover function which can be implemented on a hardened line; Phase II -- a contractor-proposed technology which will reduce the impact of recovery on system performance following prompt ionizing radiation or SEE. Additional objectives are to encourage teaming arrangements to ensure expertise, product users, and applicability to multiple systems; develop products on a one-two year timeline; support technical assistance to users through task order options; and demonstrate technology solutions through cooperative efforts between DTRA and system program offices. A forty month period of performance is contemplated. Contractor personnel will required DoD security clearances at the Secret level. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered. See numbered Note. 26.
