58 -- THEATER MULTI-SENSOR DATA CORRELATION AND FUSION DUE 032098 POC Mr Steven Cote, Program Manager, ESC/ACP, 781-271-4579; Ms Joan Jenkins, Buyer, ESC/ACK, 781-271-5494; Mr David Conrad, PCO, ESC/ACK, 781-271-8089 WEB: N/A,. E-MAIL: Click Here to E-mail the POC,. This CBD announcement pertains to our previous 24 December 1997 posting (22 December 1997 internet posting on CBDNet), "CBD: 58 -- Theater Multi-Sensor Data Correlation and Fusion". Summary of CBD description: Electronic Systems Center (ESC) is seeking information about existing theater missile defense (TMD) data correlation and fusion algorithms and corresponding software. The overall goal of this activity is improved situation awareness and decision-making through advanced techniques for estimating launch points, trajectories, and engagement opportunities. ESC will host an Industry Day on 2 April 1998 in Building M, Room 0M-503 at the MITRE Corporation on Route 62 in Burlington MA. In the light of responses received to date, ESC/ACP issues the following additional information: The "reports" to be correlated are not raw sensor measurements, but rather track reports, estimated launch point reports, and predicted impact reports, in the form of formatted messages. The candidate system should have the capability of parsing messages in at least one and preferably all of these formats: TADIL A, TADIL J, TIBS TDIMF, or OTH-GOLD. ESC will provide computer files of time stamped messages generated by a simulation, and a computer program (C source code package for Unix) for metering them out at appropriate intervals (per the simulation). The vendor will provide correlation results in the form of a similar file of time stamped TADIL J messages." A TADIL J message encoder program will also be provided to help generate the time stamped TADIL J message file. Details will be provided later. Letter of confirmation. Interested sources are asked to re-evaluate their capabilities and provide written confirmation to the government that their proposed capability is able to process Theater Missile Defense related reports as described above. Submit written responses to the address shown in this announcement by 20 March 1998. Also confirm your plans to attend the scheduled Industry Day and indicate the number and names of individuals who will attend. Include mailing instructions for sending classified diskettes to your facility (classified mailing address, attention to, Cage Code, etc). Send responses to: ESC/ACP, Attention: ISAM, 50 Griffiss Street, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-1625 (can be fax'd to 781-271-4585). (Note: consideration is being given to distributing classified information via SIPRNET. If this form of distribution is implemented, details will be provided at Industry Day). Security Clearances. Industry Day may require discussion of information classified at the Secret level. For Industry Day, fax collateral clearances via visit request by 20 March 1998 to: ESC/ACP, Attn: Marilyn/Brenda, 50 Griffiss Street, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-1625, Voice: 781-271-4628, Fax: 781-271-4585. Government POC for Industry Day is ESC/ACP Mr Steven Cote, Voice: 781-271-4579. Date of the meeting is 2 April 98. Purpose of visit: Industry Day for Improved Situation Awareness for Missiles Program. Except as noted in this announcement, the process andthe objectives described in our previous announcement are still current. In particular, at Industry Day we will overview our requirements for White Paper submittals and demonstration of industry capabilities.
