- Description
- (A) On 11 Jan 06 at 1:00 pm, interested parties are invited to attend an Industry Day Conference conducted by the government study program representatives to address the goals and contractual objectives of a candidate new space system to perform overhead non-imaging infra-red (ONIR) missions. The purpose of this study is to assess alternative system concepts for new ONIR capabilities. The government study is chartered to assess Wide Field Of View (WFOV) telescopes, which can view the entire earth from geo-synchronous altitude, and large format Focal Plane Arrays (FPA), capable of imaging the entire earth. The study team is interested in gaining industry perspectives on both of these technologies either separately or as a combined system capability. The study team is interested in gaining industry insights into any other system concepts or design trades relevant to performing current ONIR missions with reduced costs or with lower technical risk. The results of the study are intended to support an acquisition program to be submitted to OSD/AT&L for approval in FY08 for a planned Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in FY15. (B) The study team will recommend which long-lead technology items should be initiated in FY06-07. The team also is chartered to undertake system definition activities as a precursor to the Key Decision Point B (KDP-B) event in FY08. (C) The contractors will receive briefings from the Government on 11 Jan 06 at 1:00 pm. The contractors will be given an opportunity to brief the Government team for one hour during 25-26 Jan 06. The government will accept white papers from industry on this topic at any time through 26 Jan 06. The Government will conduct final briefings to industry subsequent to the evaluation of industry inputs. (D) The schedule for the Industry Days Conference is as follows: 1) Registration 2) Study Lead Welcome 3) Study and overview 4) Question and Answer Session. The conference will take place at Los Angeles Air Force Base, CA. Seating is limited; therefore, each contractor will be limited to five (5) representatives. The conference will be held at the SECRET level. Parties planning to attend should email their reservations by close of business 9 Jan 06 to, Lt Nathan Mitchell at Nathan.mitchell@losangeles.af.mil or fax them to 310-363-2511. Information for the reservation should include the name(s) of each person attending, citizenship, clearance level, phone number and company name.
