The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to award a sole source modification under Contract N00024-99-C-5106 to Raytheon System Company, Control and Communication Systems, 1501 72nd Street North, St.Petersburg, Florida, 33733-2248, to install a Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) AN/USG-3 suite of equipment already procured by the Navy and Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Avionics Development Laboratory (ADL) in preparation for a Joint Theater Air and Missile Defense (JTAMD) assessments in FY02. This program will define the system interfaces with the AWACS systems in the ADL and develop the Cooperative Engagement Processor (CEP) adaptive layer and kernal function to support the assessment. This effort also supports laboratory testing and demonstrations. The AWACS/CEC integration will be undertaken by Raytheon System Company, Command, Control and Communication Systems and Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics lab (JHU/APL), working as a team. JHU/APL will perform as the Techical DirectionAgent and Raytheon as the Design Agent for CEC 2.0 application integration. This approach was developed based on the teams' cumulative experience in other CEC 2.0 integration programs. See Numbered Note(s) 22.*** Posted 12/22/99 (A-SN410880). (0356)
