A -- COMPACT KINETIC ENERGY MISSILE (CKEM) SOL DAAH01-00-R-RB01 DUE 012700 POC Kyle Samples, Contract Specialist (256)876-5326; Patsy C. Garrison, Contracting Officer (256) 842-7406 THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF CBD ANNOUNCEMENT FOR -- Title: Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM), SOL BAA DAAH01-00-R-RB01. CONTINUED -- ..This option will include execution of interface control documents as required, conducting a Preliminary Design Review (PDR), defining the technical risk and developing a risk reduction plan, developing cost breakouts for all elements and developing objectives/thresholds for key performance parameters and the various elements of program life-cycle costs for incorporation in a cost as an independent variable (CAIV) strategy, further define investment strategies for critical technologies, and support quarterly technical reviews. Option 2, Critical Issue and Risk Assessment, if exercised, this option is for approximately 18 months and will consist of subsystem fabrication, including component integration; and subsystem and system testing, to resolve missile system issues, determine performance and assess risk. This option will demonstrate critical components such asbut not limited to propulsion, guidance/navigation units, lethality mechanisms, and other key components, including the components developed in the Technology and Component Development Segment. Testing will include hardware in the loop simulation, and testing under flight representative conditions when required to assess risk. During this phase, a Critical Design Review (CDR) will be provided and all components will be demonstrated in a series of increasingly integrated tests culminating in testing of at least six CKEM subsystems/systems. If pursued, the Phase II effort, System Development and Demonstration, will be re-competed among the successful Option 2 contractors. This phase is for approximately 18-24 months and will include the development and demonstration of the complete CKEM system in full-up integrated flight tests against designated targets. Throughout the entire effort, the source will provide all required test support, and will host a series of cost and technical performance review meetings approximately quarterly. For each stage -- Phase I Basic, Phase I Option I, Phase I Option II and Phase II- a final technical report and briefing will be delivered covering all aspects of system design, analysis, and experimental results.
