E-MAIL: Dawn Ross, Dawn.Ross@wpafb.af.mil. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Special Projects Office, and Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Sensors Directorate will be Co-hosting an Industry Day on 13 July 2000, at the Sensors Directorate Auditorium, Bldg 620, 2241 Avionics Circle, Wright-Patterson AFB OH.The purpose of the Industry Day is to familiarize industry with the Advanced Tactical Targeting Technology (AT3) program and the associated technology needs in the areas of advanced algorithms and simulation. A Program Research and Development Announcement (PRDA) solicitation will be released shortly after the Industry Day. The objective of AT3 is to develop and demonstrate technologies to enable very accurate, extremely rapid, passive emitter geolocation for lethal tactical targeting of fleeting enemy assets. The AT3 program is an ongoing activity with a contractor currently developing a data collection and demonstration platform. This industry day will discuss a new parallel effort to develop and demonstrate, through simulation and data analysis, a range of innovative approaches to the most stressing multi-ship tactical target acquisition and geolocation problems. The emphasis in this parallel effort is innovation and not application of legacy techniques. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: multiship deinterleaving, resolved and unresolved multipath mitigation, polarization exploitation, multiplatform Time Difference of Arrival/Frequency Difference of Arrival (TDOA/FDOA) algorithms, and counter-countermeasure approaches. Multiple awards are anticipated and joint program reviews will be conducted. Attendance at the Industry Day is not a prerequisite for submitting a proposal. However, it will provide a valuable opportunity for questions and answers. A web site will be maintained at http://www.pixs.wpafb.af.mil/ that will provide more detailed information and material to be presented during the Industry Day, as it becomes available. Seating is limited. Request a maximum of two (2) representatives per offeror. Badgingand sign-in will begin at 0830 hours and the government briefing will begin at 0900 hours and conclude at 1100. The briefing will be UNCLASSIFIED, however discussions may be conducted at the SECRET level. One-on-one sessions will be available from 1100 to 1200 and 1300 to 1630; these sessions will be twenty minutes and will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Request attendees register for the Industry Day and the one-on-one sessions, providing Name, Company/Organization affiliation, Address, Telephone number, and E-mail address not later than 7 July. Registration data must be faxed to (937) 656-4339, attn: Capt James Sikra (James.Sikra@wpafb.af.mil, voice (937) 255-4794 x 4316). Security clearance information also needs to be sent to Capt Sikra not later than 7 July. Any advance questions pertaining to the solicitation may be e-mailed or faxed so that they could be addressed at Industry Day. Points of contact for contractual type questions may be addressed to either Dawn Ross via email at dawn.ross@wpafb.af.mil or Rick Chance, Contracting Officer, via email at richard.chance@wpafb.af.mil. This Industry Day is for informational purposes only. Participation is totally voluntary, and the Government will not reimburse the attendees for any cost associated with participation and is under no obligation to award any related contract associated with this event. Please note that AT3 information will be made available on the ASC/SYG PIXS website (http://www.pixs.wpafb.af.mil/) and interested parties are advised to check this site periodically for program status and solicitation documents.
