E-MAIL: Bruce Wells, wellsb@plk.af.mil. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/VSDD), Kirtland AFB, NM, is interested in receiving proposals (technical and cost) on research to advance and demonstrate a state-of-the-art advanced technology vehicle system design, the technologies required to enable such a system, and other related Ballistic Missile technologies. The research areas of interest are 1) Advanced Technology Vehicle System design; 2) Hyper sonic materials required for long glide re-entry bodies; 3) High speed penetrators including the case, desensitized ordnance and layer counting fuses; 4) Re-locatable target sensors; 5) Re-entry plasma effects; 6) Miniaturized anti-jam GPS receiver; 7) GPS antennas, antenna arrays and windows; 8) Post boost and terminal navigation and control; and 9) Missile aging and surveillance testing. Proposals which either enable future ballistic system modernization to demonstrate and meet performance, reliability, maintainability, supportability, and affordability goals or which enhance performance or significantly reduce cost, schedule, or risk of existing technologies are of interest. Offerors are advised to contact the technical point of contact to verify interest in the effort to be proposed and funding availability PRIOR to committing resources to the preparation of proposals in response to this announcement. Interested offerors may view and download the full Ballistic Missile Technology Demonstration Program Research and Development Announcement 00-VI01, that includes, a complete description of the research areas of interest, technical points of contact, and proposal preparation instructions by accessing the GSA Electronic Posting System at www.eps.gov, USAF Material Command, AFRL, Phillips Research Site. Proposals are due by 17 March 2000, 4:00 PM MST. Proposals are to be submitted to Det 8 AFRL/PKVI, Attn: Ms Tammie Johnson, 2551 Maxwell Ave SE, Building 592, Kirtland AFB NM Posted 12/09/99 (D-SN407252). (0343)
