A -- ELECTRONIC AND TEST DEVELOPMENT POC Genna Wooten, Contract Specialist, (256) 955-3407, Larry Ridgeway, Contracting Officer, (256) 955-5882 This electronic development and testing effort will include Theater Missile Defense CINC Cell (TMDCC) Program support to insure that all CINC Cells are maintained in a high state of readiness to support real-world contingency operations in their respected theater of operations, to include Joint operations and electronic support. This will be done through Common Operational Modeling, Planning and Simulation Strategy (COMPASS) and Distributed Collaborative Planning (DCP) support of legacy systems for technical demonstrations, M&S integration and support, requirements definitions, COMPASS/DCP operational training, and laboratory testing. Efforts will include planning and participating in Fleet Battle Experiments (FBEs) and Joint Theater Air and Missile Defense (JTAMD) exercises to evaluate future technologies and concepts, through operational experimentation, for early warfighter feedback, rapid prototyping and detailed concepts development. Additional electronic and optical development will demonstrate specific applications such as the early detection of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and/or special nuclear material (SNM) to support force protection, intelligence, anti-terrorism, counter-proliferation and treaty verification missions. These key activities are the determination of necessary parameters leading to the development of a prototype sensor capable of detecting fissile materials, the development of a brassboard generic imaging system and the delivery of a user-specific fieldable prototype to be delivered in FY01. Work may also require support of the evaluation of the electronic operational performance of TMD/NMD assets at all levels of integration with detailed independent technical analysis and monitoring to assist SMDC in their role as NMD proponent and TMD integrator. Performance requires a Top Secret security clearance. This acquisition is not open to foreign prime participation.
