- Description
- This is a modification to the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) N00024-10-R-4215 posted on 1 February 2010. This modification extends the date for receipt of white papers and full proposals to 9 February 2012. Priority for selection for full proposals, if any, will be given to white papers previously submitted or submitted within 45 days of this announcement. Any white papers that have already been submitted do not need to be resubmitted. This modification also makes changes to the Section 4 Research Opportunity Description under GENERAL INFORMATION of the original announcement. The following is paragraph is substituted: Power Load Module (PLM): A Power Load functional element is a user of electrical power received from one or more Power Distribution functional elements. The area of interest for NGIPS in the Power Load is the load interface definition and the provision of specialty power to optimize that load interface. Among the special load interfaces that would require development are support for pulsed power weapons and sensors such as radar power supplies, electromagnetic launchers (for example EM Railgun), and advanced laser systems, all of which would benefit from optimized integration with the shipboard power system. This would enable real time data and asset management and reconfiguration based on demand. The Navy has an interest in initiating the development of a capacitor based rep-rate pulsed power system with similar capabilities to that described in Office of Naval Research (ONR) announcement 10-RFI-0001. Concepts that align with the technology development required for the Electromagnetic (EM) Railgun and also support shipboard energy storage needs will be considered by both the Electric Ships Office and ONR for award. As an update to the industry caucus on December 2, 2009 under ONR solicitation 10-RFI-0001, the nominal module rating of 250 kilo-joules (kJ) and an energy density of 1.3 mega-joule-per-cubic-meter (1.3MJ/m^3) is contemplated. The energy density goal for the pulsed power component (excluding bus-work to launcher) is 1.3 MJ/m^3 or better. Reducing system volume is important, but this has to be balanced with system fault tolerance and cost. The Electric Ships Office (PMS 320) in conjunction with ONR is interested in both near term solutions that have the potential for rapid transition to a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) as well as longer term technology pushes that advance the science and would enable a future compact shipboard system. Risk reducing technology prototype demonstrations in the near term are encouraged. The following is paragraph is added: Energy Efficiency Enabling Technologies (E3T): Improving energy efficiency and energy management aboard ship by application of advanced electrical distribution and propulsion system related technologies is a Navy priority. E3T submissions may include technologies, modifications, and/or new components to existing and future ship systems that will increase the efficiency of electrical systems or facilitate the utilization of renewable energy sources to lower fuel and energy consumption on US Navy Ships. The areas of interest include but are not limited to propulsion, electrical distribution systems, electrical equipment, power conversion, and power generation. The Navy will consider approaches that modify systems and/or operations to affect quantifiable energy conservation in the Fleet. Emphasis is placed on technologies with an identified transition path capable of making near-term, measurable improvements to Navy energy conservation. This effort will be in conjunction with the requirements provided in the Naval Surface Warfare Center announcement N00167-11-BAA-01, which looks at similar technologies for application to Military Sealift Command vessels, and ideas will be shared with sponsors in both applications. All other information contained in the original announcement remains unchanged.
