A -- DESIGN, DEVELOP, TEST AND ANALYZE A SENSOR SUITE COUPLING LADAR, MMW AND IR TECHNOLOGIES WITHIN A FUSED ENVIRONMENT DUE 022598 POC Helen Sammon, Contract Specialist, (973)724-5561 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/procacts.htm. E-MAIL: Helen Sammon, hsammon@pica.army.mil. The US Army TACIOM/ARDEC, Picatinny Arsenal, N.J. intends to go sole source for the design, development, test and anaylsis of a sensor suite coupling LADAR, MMW, and IR technologies within a fused environment; integrating selected sensors into mobile testbeds for testing and evaluation in field environments and tactical scenarios; evaluating these technologies to downselect a near optimal candidate for integration into the baseline SADARM system; and conducting various trade studies to look at packaging, weight, cost, performance, and integration issues relevant to the baseline SADARM host sub-munition. Additional trade studies shall be undertaken to look at carrier platforms for the SADARM Block II sub-munition, carrier packaging and configuration constraints, as well as electronic, hardware, and software compatibility issues. Deliverables for this program shall include developed sensor hardware with associated electronic and computer linkages; discriminator algorithms and operational software; field test data and evaluation results in electronic formats; electronic documentation of trade studies completed; and programmatic and administrative reports.
