A -- MODELING EMP TARGETS FROM SOURCE TO THE END POINTS SOL DTRA01-99-R-0021 DUE 052099 POC Nancy McCann, (703) 325-5029; Don Shires, Contracting Officer (703) 325-6684 WEB: NA, NA. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Negotiator, Nancy McCann,, anna.mccann@dtra.mil. ATTENTION: The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has a requirement for Modeling EMP Targets from Source to the End Points. The Contractor shall develop models of sources whose operating frequency lie within 0 to 500 Mhz and are tailored to the specific target characteristics to produce complete functional damage denying the enemy mission and shall develop antenna design for coherent enhancement of EMP power to expose and focus on critical components and equipment of the specified WMD targets. The Contractor shall review existing EMP effects documents, identify targets that could be destroyed by such weapons, develop design concepts for focusing power on target system, determine the pulse power source requirements, evaluate difficulties and other limiting factors in the design and assess impact on the feasibility of the practical implementation of the high power electro-magnetic fields (HPEMF) weapon concept. The Contractor shall perform a system simulation to assess its behavior, develop a preliminary design specification for a prototype weapon system, devise laboratory-scale experiments and plan advanced concept technology and demonstration of the model. The goal of this contract is to provide a framework for practical implementations of the DoD's EMP simulators and pulse power technology into innovative targeting schemes with no collateral effects. THE PROCUREMENT IS A SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE. Any responsible sources will be considered. For further information, contact Nancy McCann at (703) 325-5029. Posted 03/31/99 (W-SN314794). (0090)
