A -- ADVANCED DISCRIMINATING LADAR TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM POC Judith A. Staggs, Contracting Officer, SMDC-CM-CN, (256)955-4059 The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) intends to enter into a contract for research and development services with Raytheon Missile Systems. This effort is the continuation of a research and development initiated by Raytheon Missile Systems. Significant progress has been attained toward bringing this discriminating interceptor ladar to fruition, including the investment of considerable monies. Hence the effort will be a continuation of the effort currently being conducted under Contract DASG60-95-C-0026 for the "Advanced Discriminating Ladar Technology Program." The effort will include component reengineering as necessary to assure the Brassboard design meets the flight performance, weight, and volume requirements for the Advanced Vehicle Concept. Laboratory and field tests on the Compact Breadboard are planned together with the following new integrated components: waveform generator (WFG) with integrated fiber switch, acquisition and track processor (A&TP), VME chassis mounted and range resolve Doppler imaging (RRDI) processor boards. The contractor will design and fabricate a flight Brassboard leveraging from the Compact Breadboard design and integrate a passive sensor for test. The period of performance for this effort will be sixty (60) months. This effort requires a SECRET facility clearance. No foreign subcontracting participation has been experienced nor is it expected. Because of the requirement to exploit effort in which the government has invested considerable time and money and the need to position the technology for timely technological infusion into the National Missile Defense (NMD), the action is directed to Raytheon Missile Systems under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. This notice is not a request for proposals, however responses received from this notice will be considered in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(d)(2). All responses should be directed to SMDC-CM-CN/Judith Staggs and must be received within fifteen (15) days after the date of publication of this synopsis. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. See Note 22. Posted 07/21/00 (W-SN477480). (0203)
