Description

The Defense Supply Service-Washington intends to award a contract, on a selected source basis, to Hudson Institute, for a research effort titled, "Long-term Net Assessment of US Nuclear Weapons Position and of Balance with Third World Threats." This is a follow-on effort to a research effort provided by Mr. Max Singer, the Principal Researcher. The primary scope of this project will be further work on the Mission Approach to Net Assessment and to Force Planning with special attention to new concepts of the role of mission defenses in future patterns of world armaments. The work requires analysis of political, military, technological, and regional factors relevant both to midterm (5-15 years) and longer term considerations affecting force planning and operations in a full range of contingencies, taking account of existing Pentagon structures and requirements and the need for dealing with changing technologies, contexts, and operational concepts. The contractor will be required to create contexts and models and to apply contexts and models provided by the government. The work will involve consideration of the strategic perspective of various types of enemy powers and rogue groups in all regions with potential enemies, now and in the future. It will also include analysis of how various democratic forms of government affect potential threats to the U.S. The award of a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order is anticipated.
