A -- DEVELOPMENT OF DOD VIRTUAL UNDERGROUND TEST (VUGT) TOOL SOL DTRA01-99-R-0037 DUE 082799 POC Carol Dickerson, Contracting Officer, 703-325-1193, fax: 703-325-9295 E-MAIL: ERROR --, carol.dickerson@dtra.mil. Development of Department of Defense (DoD) Virtual Underground Test (VUGT) Tool. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has a requirement for investigating the potential to create an updated tool and integrated modeling tool for system developers to enable virtual evaluation of system response in a nuclear environment to help offset the loss of the UGT process which was available prior to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The scope of this effort is a feasibility study using RV/RB modeling in a nuclear environment as the test case. The tool will include first principles and engineering based codes; ability to use user-provided computer-assisted-design (CAD) digital files of test components; ability to run on parallel and distributed High Power Computing machines; and abilty to use AGT/UGT databases of material/component properties and response updated by computational chemistry and/or above ground radiation simulator experiment where required. It must leverage and be compatible with other modeling and evaluation tools of DTRA, Services, and SPOs to the maximum extent possible wherever appropriate. An eight-month period of performance is contemplated. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered. Requests for copies of the solicitation must be submitted to Carol Dickerson, AMS, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 6801 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22305-3398, fax: 703-325-9295, or email: carol.dickerson@dtra.mil.
