A -- TACTICAL TARGETING NETWORK TECHNOLOGY TTNT TECHNICAL ISSUE INVESTIGATIONS SOL 00-27 DUE 091100 POC Ms. Kristen Numrcyh, FAX 703/696-2208 DARPA intends to award a sole source purchase order to Southwest Research Institute to conduct investigations for the TTNT program, identifying technology issues and technology opportunities to implement the TTNT concepts. TTNT technical investigations will include: 1. Signal Coexistence Analyses (acquisition as well as track): 2. Nearly instantaneous T2NT link set up (and take down) 3. Transmit power control method/performance 4. T2NT network scalability 5. Transmission Security factors 6. RF terminal/installation factors 7. Terminal Sizing assessment/budgeting It is expected that the investigator shall assess the validity, depth and impact of the issues and provide white papers addressing the risk probabilities and consequences. TTNT is a potential new start program within DARPA Special Projects Office (SPO) to develop and demonstrate robust, affordable, flexible tactical networks for dynamic targeting. Today's tactical data links are static preplanned networks with constrained participation and use.TTNT is envisioned to include Super CDMA technology integrated transparently with legacy systems, zero latency, 100x throughput networking, real-time battle-dependent participation and capacity assignments, flexibility to customize, and dramatically lowered lifecycle cost with ubiquitous use. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Contractors capable of offering their service must respond within 15 days of the date of this notice by submitting specific technical capability to provide this service. All responses received within 15 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
