A -- ENGINEERING AND ANALYSIS SUPPORT FOR HARM Q6DOF MISSILE SIMULATION AND MODELING AND ASSOCIATED SUPPRESSION OF ENEMY AIR DEFENSES. POC Vicky M. Dawson, Contracting Officer, 850-882-4141 The Air Force Development Test Center, 36 ETS/EES is anticipating an award of a sole-source, two year basic and three one year options, firm-fixed-price contract to Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation (BATC) Systems Engineering Operations, 9179 Aero Drive, San Diego CA92123-2411, for engineering and analysis support for High-speed Anti Radiation Missile Queued 6 Degree of Freedom (HARM Q6DOF) missile simulation and modeling and associated Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) test planning and analysis. The source must be proficient in using the HARM Q6DOF Instruction Level Compiler missile simulator to run HARM Block II/III/IIIA/IV/V missile simulations, building Q6DOF Event Description Language (EDL) input files, using CAEWS and various data sources (EWIR. EPL, Sunshine, CIS AA, etc.) to determine the threat operating characteristics into usable EDL input files, using the standard Q6DOF data output files and 53rd Wing developed data extraction programs to analyze HARM performance, buildingHARM Block II/III/IIIA/IV/V avionics handoffs in accordance with avionics (F-16/LAP Phase 2 and 3, HARM Targeting System) capabilities and limitations, and maintaining the 53rd Wing developed VAX/DCL and FORTRAN programs used to process Q6DOF data and e able to modify them as required. The source must be proficient using F-16 MUX, Aircraft/Launcher Interface Computer handoff words (ALIC HOW) and status reports, and HARM telemetry data to analyze F-16/HARM flight test performance. The source must have a working knowledge of HARM and ALIC detailed designs in order to review design changes and recommend the best approach to meet operators' needs. The source must hold a current Top Secret clearance with SCI access. Responses to this synopsis must specifically address each of the screening criteria listed above. BATC has and is currently participating in these activities under contract to the U.S. Air Force. BATC can immediately begin work and perform the desired tasks as a result of their past and current involvement with the 53rd Test Wing HARM simulation, modeling and test planning efforts. A twenty-four month period of performance is anticipated with the potential for three additional one year options. Annual effort each year is one person-year. This contractual action is expected to be executed using "Other Than Full and Open Competition" procedures pursuant to FAR 6.301-1.
