A -- RADIO FREQUENCY CIRCUIT PROTECTION PHENOMENOLOGY RESEARCH SOL DTRA01-00-R-0020 DUE 050100 POC Contracting Officer/Judy Rodgers (703) 325-1182 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer via, judy.rodgers@dtra.mil. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has a requirement for research and development in the area of radio frequency (RF) circuit protection phenomenology. The DTRA High Power Microwave (HPM) program is investigating the development of protection techniques for military electronics against an adversary's employment of Radio Frequency (RF, generic term for HPM) devices. A previous protection effort concentrated on the development of techniques to protect against the use of RF waveforms that are covered by special HPM programs. The potential threat to military and infrastructure targets from various RF sources is gaining increased attention. The purpose of this procurement will be to extend the theoretical understanding of why effects occur and how to minimize them at the circuit level or by use of advanced protection techniques. A cost-type contract is anticipated with a base period of performance of three (3) years with two optional tasks. Contractors must have a secret facility clearance and all contractor personnel will require a secret security clearance. E-mail requests to obtain a copy of solicitation to judy.rodgers@dtra.mil, including your company name, point of contact, address, phone, fax and e-mail address. This is an unrestricted solicitation. The estimated date for release of the solicitation is on or about March 31. ***** Posted 03/08/00 (W-SN432383). (0068)
