Space and Missile Systems Center, Air Force Materiel Command, intends to award a four month extension (01OCT95 - 31JAN96) of operations and maintenance (O&M) support under contract F04701-92-C-0054 for Talon Shield/ALERT to the incumbent contractor, Aerojet Electronics for four months ( 01OCT95 - 31JAN96), withSystems (AES), 1100 West Hollyvale Street, Azusa, CA 91702. The extension will include a three-month option to provide transition support for the Talon Shield/ALERT follow-on competitive acquisition which is anticipated to be awarded by 1 Feb 96. Aerojet, 1100 West Hollyvale Street, Azusa, CA 91702, is the incumbent contractor. O&M support will be performed at the existing Talon Shield development and ALERT operational facilities located at the National Testbed Facility (NTF), Falcon AFB, CO on a 24-hours-a- 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week basis. The Talon Shield/ALERT system is based on the Central Tactical Processing Element (CTPE) which is formed around a multiple source (N-source) tracker that combines infrared data from the Defense Support Program with data from other National Assets to produce faster warning capabilities and more accurate tactical parameters in the support of theater attack operations, counterforce operations, active defense, and passive defense. The Talon Shield/ALERT system is an open system, distributed architecture based primarily on Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) hardware. ALERT provides warning to the theater CINCs over Tactical Information Broadcast System (TIBS) and the Tactical Data Dissemination System (TDDS) tactical communications networks. The minimum qualification requirements include: (a) a thorough technical understanding and experience with SGI computer systems, DSP satellites, real time space based early warning ground systems, and tactical communications networks, (b) familiarity with software for SGI computers including the SGI software tools and SGI compilers, (c) thorough knowledge of N-Source tracker processing, tactical parameter estimation, event display for a full range of event data types, operator display and warning message protocols, (d) cleared, trained and experienced hardware maintainers, and software maintainers. This effort requires a Top Secret/SCI facility clearance and applicable personnel with Top Secret/SCI Clearance and current Single Scope Background Investigations (SSBI). No foreign sources may participate due to the classified areas of this effort. Interested respondents should notify Ms Anna Saunders, at (310) 363-2862, no later than 10 Apr 95. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered. See Note 22. Responses should be sent to SMC/MTKG, 185 Discoverer Blvd, Suite 2512, Los Angeles AFB, CA 90245-4695. (0152)
