A -- SHORT RANGE MISSILE DEFENSE WITH OPTIMIZED RADAR DISTRIBUTION (SWORD) INTERFEROMETRIC RADAR VALIDATION PROGRAM (IRVP) POC Astrid C. Lahiere, Contract Specialist, 256-955-3755, Linda N. Bentley, Contracting Officer The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command intends to enter into a non-competitive contract with Technovative Applications, a small business, to develop test plans to conduct an interferometric radar accuracy field test and a 1-Gh single channel receiver/processor benchtest. The contractor shall establish the radar accuracy test procedures in a manner to determine system and operational errors and identify analytical approach to evaluate effects on the interferometric system. The contractor shall design and fabricate a 1-GHz single channel receiver/processor brassboard and test brassboard interferometric radar in the Interferometric Radar Validation Program. The objective of the contract is to further exploit the interferometric radar developed under a prior contract through further design and testing; and determine the effects of system and operational errors. In performing the prior contract, Technovative Applications established the technical feasibility of the concept through design, breadboard fabrication, and critical components tests, including miniaturization of a flight unit component. It has been determined that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The highest level of classification pertinent to this effort is SECRET/NOFORN/ WNINTEL. Under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), intended service is Technovative Applications, 2821 Saturn Street, Suite A, Brea, California 92821. This acquisition is not open to allied participation at the prime or subcontractor level. See Note 22. Posted 04/17/00 (W-SN445840). (0108)
