A -- RESEARCH IN TARGET VULNERABILITY AND WEAPONS LETHALITY SOL N00178-99-Q-1008 DUE 062599 POC Patricia A. Canciglia, Code SD112, (540)653-7478 WEB: NSWCDD Dahlgren Laboratory Procurement Division Web, http://www.nswc.navy.mil. E-MAIL: Contract Specialist for N00178-99-Q-1008, cancigliapa@nswc.navy.mil. By 23 December 1998 CBD notice, NSWCDD identified program requirements related to Research in Target Vulnerability and Weapons Lethality (N00178-99-Q-1008). This action modifies said CBD notice and announces NSWCDD's requirement for white paper submissions to address a specific imminent requirement within a set timeframe. First, it provides for the expansion of paragraph (6) Program Objectives as follows (changes are bolded and italicized): PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is interested in proposals in target vulnerability and weapons lethality. Specific areas of interest are as follows: (1) Research, analysis, characterization and modeling of the vulnerability of target components to non-nuclear weapons damage mechanisms including explosive blast overpressure, (2) research, analysis, characterization and modeling of warhead fragmentation penetration and damage effects against air or surface targets, (3) research in advanced computer techniques (hardware and/or software) to assist in endgame analysis tasks including modeling of target response and weapons system damage mechanism deployment, (4) research, analysis, characterization and modeling of the reaction of damaged air targets, (5) research, analysis, characterization and modeling of the weapons effects on ballistic missile threats including payload response to direct hit and near miss effects of warhead blast and multiple fragment barrage, (6) other general areas of target vulnerability (including fabrication and delivery of high fidelity, full scale replicas of selected threat ballistic missile warheads per applicable drawings and payload reference documents, and design development of instrumentation and data acquisition systems to collect lethality data) damage mechanism lethality, and endgame effectiveness modeling. WHITE PAPER SUBMISSION: This BAA modification provides for white paper submissions on or before close of business 25 June 1999 in response to an urgent program requirement related to TBMD Test Articles for Flight Testing within the set parameters identified in paragraph (6) above. Offerors shall submit white papers summarizing each proposed concept, including a rough order of cost magnitude and schedule to perform the proposed work, to obtain an indication of potential NSWCDD interest. Any questions regarding this announcement should be addressed to the attention of Patricia Canciglia on (540) 653-7478 or via telecopier (540) 653-7088. White papers submitted in response to the TBMD Test Article for Flight Testing Requirement shall be submitted by close of business 25 June 1999 to the following address: Attn: SD112, Room 102, N00178-99-Q-1008 Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division 17320 Dahlgren Road Dahlgren, VA 22448-5100 All others conditions of subject BAA Announcement remain unchanged.
