L -- ELECTRONIC COMBAT INTEGRATED TEST PROGRAM SOL F04611-96-R-0019 POC Sandra Jenkins, Contract Negotiator, (805) 275-9452 Jana Gorden, Contracting Officer, (805) 275-9468. SOURCES SOUGHT for Simulation Support Services in testing automated multi-sensor fusion systems to be used for operational and developmental test and evaluation missions at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC). The United States AF intends to procure on a non-competitive basis from General Telephone and Electronics, (GTE), Electronic Defense Division, Mountain View, CA, technical laboratory (simulation) test services for test planning, testing and evaluating the operational and technical performance of automated multi-sensor fusion systems using GTE's Coherent Signal Simulator (CSS). The CSS is a one-of-a kind system designed by and solely owned and operated by GTE. The CSS is a scenario-coherent simulator that provides a real time coordinated high fidelity sensor environment to the system under test. Requirements include the use of sensitive compartmented information (SCI) to develop realistic, operational threat laydowns which correctly reflect player geometry and events associated with the simulated scenario. The CSS provides scenario coherent C3 and Communication, Navigation, and Identification (CNI) signal environments which can be presented to the RF sensors and also provides a digital environment directly to the data fusion system in which the digital control and digital data output of the sensors is emulated. The CSS was developed expressly for conducting tests in a laboratory that can replicate the free space range test environment. GTE is the only known source capable of creating scenarios and implementing the laboratory testing which can provide the simulation coherency, target density, and scenario flexibility that replicates the free space range test environment. An indefinite delivery contract with a four-year period of performance is anticipated for award in February 1996. Interested contractors must submit clear and convincing documentation that fully demonstrates their capability to meet the Simulation Support Services technical requirements and provide evidence that they possess a top secret facility clearance. Responses for the solicitation which fail to provide the required informatin will not be acknowledged. Send facsimile documentation packages to (805) 275-9452, ATTN: (Sandra Jenkins, AFFTC/PKAH) No telephone requests will be accepted. (0331)
