E-MAIL: LTC John Sarakatsannis, john.sarakatsannis@losangeles.af.mil. 17. This notice amends sources sought synopsis dated 7 May 1999 and 9 June 99, same subject, to announce and invite industry to an informational briefing detailing the Engineering, Analysis Design and Development II (EADD II) requirements and inviting questions and comments from Industry prior to any request for contract proposals. Industry Day will be on Friday, 24 September 1999 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Aerospace Corporation, 2350 E. El Segundo Blvd., Bldg. A-1/ Room 1062, El Segundo, CA 90245. To ensure access, all interested parties must fax a list of attendees to (310) 336-6983 attn: Louise Chavis by 22 September 1999. Signs directing conference parking will be located in the Aerospace parking lot. Further information will be posted at www.eps.gov (USAF Offices, AF Material CMD Locations, SMC). This synopsis is for potential sources sought only and does not constitute a commitment on the part of the Government to purchase or acquire systems or services. The government will not pay for data or time expended in response to this synopsis. Firms that have already submitted a Statement of Capability (SOC) are not required to amend their SOC. The technical work anticipated to be accomplished under EADD II involves highly specialized engineering and technical skills/experience that are needed to create new DoD space mission concepts, roadmaps and architectures, develop and acquire new DoD space programs, and effectively exploit the commercial and international space sectors. Offerors must have skills/experience in the full spectrum of national security space planning, architectures, systems engineering, modeling & simulation, experimentation, rapid prototype development, and have current insight in all emerging space technology areas and space operations missions including national space systems. Knowledge and experience in military space mission areas_space force enhancement, space forces support, space control, and space force application is required. Specific support capability areas include, but are not limited to:  reusable launch vehicles, space maneuvering vehicles, space operation vehicles, and satellite recovery vehicles to enhance, support and ensure space access;  air & space integration and global multi-mission service platforms to facilitate space mission modernization;  space based moving target indication, target extraction using hyper-spectral imaging, and OPELINT concepts to optimize battle space awareness;  space surveillance, space protection, and associated technologies to enhance and support the space control mission;  space based interceptor and space based directed energy concepts to support ballistic missile defense;  space based moving target indication, target extraction using hyper-spectral imaging, and OPELINT concepts to optimize battle space awareness;  partnership and joint venture concepts that enhance and support military exploitation of the commercial space and support information operations/warfare capabilities;  aerospace operations center concepts that enhance and support the integration of air and space command and control capabilities;  various concepts that enhance and support information operations/warfare capabilities;  develop, maintain, and use space modeling & simulation tools to provide analytic insight to enhance and support high level acquisition and force structure decisions;  compile, research and recommend operational and system requirements for space mission application areas;  develop integrated trade studies on capabilities of existing and emerging systems, technologies, and data from all sectors [government, commercial, international] to support tactical military applications;  interface with a broad spectrum of on-going DoD, National, and Battle-Lab efforts including support to the development of doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures;  support real-world contingencies, exercises and demonstrations to include deploying and operating hardware and software systems, establishing communications capabilities, and applying new tactics, techniques, and procedures;  develop, integrate, test, and evaluate prototype systems and software across a broad spectrum of DoD air and space assets to include development of CONOPS for subsystems and various INTs [e.g. SIGINT, IMINT, MASINT, ELINT _];  provide logistics, sustainment, and transition support to systems/software to include property management, maintenance, sparing, training, documentation, data/license rights, configuration control, and transfer of systems/designs to offices/agencies;  support acquisition security management functions including system security management planning, software risk assessments, system certification and/or accreditation packages, and related information protection functions including multi-level and TS-SCI environments Posted 09/03/99 (D-SN376382).
