A -- 3-D SIMULATION OF NEW HIGH ALTITUDE NUCLEAR WEAPON EFFECTS USING HIGH POWER SOL DTRA01-99-R-0025 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 3-D Simulation of New High Altitude Nuclear Weapon Effects Using High Power Computing Capability. The technical objectives of this effort are to develop and enhance the physics accuracy of the DTRA's high altitude NWE codes to predict the deposition and spectral energy distribution of individual debris species after an explosion in the atmosphere; and to account for the non-linear MHD wave and shock wave acceleration of the debris ions and electrons; and to include weapons disassembly at explosion in the atmosphere which will be uncovered by the DOE laboratories' advanced strategic computing initiative (ASCI) calculations. THE PROCUREMENT IS A SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE. Any responsible sources will be considered. Solicitation will be released on or about 4 May 1999. For further information, contact Nancy McCann at (703) 325-5029. Posted 04/09/99 (W-SN318172). (0099)
