The notice is clarify that part of the original announcement reading: "While one or more 12 month R&D efforts with phased decision points may be awarded in FY98, the Government reserves the right to award contracts as a result of this announcement for two years from the receipt of proposals.". The intent of this sentence is to put offerors on notice that no awards will be made in FY97, rather multiple awards may be made in FY98 or in FY99. Funding is programed for a 36 month effort with technical/program milestone reviews and funding decision points at 12 month intervals. Contract award(s) may be incrementally funded. The reference to DTIC Form 271 is deleted. Contractor format for the project data sheet is acceptable. Finally, that sentence reading "Both detection and neutralization should occur at standoff distances up to 60 meters." is changed to read "Detection should occur at standoff distance up to 60 meters, but with emphasis on detection between 15 and 25 meters."
