A -- DETAILED CHARACTERIZATION OF THREAT SYSTEMS AND THEIR TACTICAL USAGE SOL DASG60-00-R-0013 POC ROBBIE H. PHIFER, Contracting Officer, (256) 955-3441 The Tactics and Specifications Center under the Combat Applications Division of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab, Huntsville intends to award a sole source contract to Delta Research, Incorporated for the development of fully integrated penetration aid suites and high fidelity threat engineering characterizations for threat engineering scenario development to support NMD and TMD defense acquisition programs. The level of detail of these threat engineering scenarios requires a demonstrated expertise and experience to develop these characterizations and the ability to integrate them into an engineering scenario suitable for the NMD and TMD acquisition programs. It is critical to have a seamless integration of these high fidelity designs and characterizations; hence the proposed acquisition is to utilize the incumbent contractor, Delta Research Incorporated. Delta Research is the only known source who has this experience and expertise to perform these requirements in a timely and cost effective manner with out conflicts of interest. This effort requires their in-depth knowledge of on-going NMD and TMD systems and threat systems (consisting of various short to intercontinental range ballistic missiles, submarine launched ballistic missiles, air-breathing missile systems and aircraft). The required high fidelity engineering characterizations for these threat systems will include but not be limited to system performance, manufacturing techniques, 6 degree of freedom motion specifications, target and object signatures, and associated penetration aid designs and performance characteristics. Delta Research has a long history of providing engineering characterizations, and has special expertise to fully integrate these characterizations into threat engineering scenarios. Moreover, they have successfully avoided developing the debilitating conflicts of interest that is inherently attendant with NMD and TMD development efforts. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals. See Numbered Note 22. Posted 08/09/00 (W-SN484205). (0222)
