A -- WEAPONS EFFECTS ON COMMUNICATIONS (WECOM) CODES IMPROVEMENT/UPDATE SOL DTRA01-00-R-0019 POC Daniel Bertuna, Contracting Officer, ph: 703-325-1197, fax: 703-325-9295 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, daniel.bertuna@dtra.mil. The WECOM codes are a family of eight separate modules that simulate and analyze on computers the operability of the natural and nuclear-stressed military communications systems ranging over a broad frequency spectrum. They were developed in the nineteen eighties to provide C3I systems' performance evaluation tools for military users, DOD contractors, analysts, and warfighters. The codes are PC based and use computationally fast algorithms to simulate the natural and nuclear stressed environments and their effect on propagated signals. The algorithms incorporate a combination of first-principle, database, and analytic model developments to simulate the geophysical and chemical environmental properties, a sophisticated set of propagation models, and a set of system and signal processing models. The algorithms focus on efficiency and provide the user with a complete end-to-end evaluation. This effort will continue to improve the user friendliness of the codes, modify the codes to ensure prediction accuracy, and provide technical and training support for the code users. The solicitation is expected to result in a single award of a cost type contract. The contractor will require a DoD security clearance of Secret. The anticipated level of effort is approximately 3.5 man-years with a 36 months period of performance. Please e-mail requests for copies of the solicitation to daniel.bertuna@dtra.mil, including your company name, point of contact, address, phone, fax and e-mail address. This is an unrestricted solicitation. The estimated release of this solicitation is 13 March 2000. Posted 02/23/00 (W-SN427942). (0054)
