A -- ADVANCED DISCRIMINATING LADAR TECHNOLOGY SOL DASG60-95-C-0026 POC Judith A. Staggs, Contracting Officer, SMDC-CM-CN, (256)955-1187 The U. S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) intends to enter into a noncompetitive contract modification for research and development services with Raytheon Missile Systems (formerly Hughes Aircraft Company) for a continuation of the effort currently being conducted on Contract DASG60-95-C-0026 for the "Advanced Discriminating Ladar Technology Program." The contractor will conduct a follow-on reengineering effort to ruggedize and modify for tests the following laboratory-developed components (subassemblies) leading to a brassboard design: pulse burst waveform generator (wfg), laser amplifier, acquisition and track processor (A&TP), and range resolve Doppler imaging (RRDI) processor. The contractor will integrate an upgraded breadboard and integrate a seeker test. Options will be included for (1) spare hardware and discrimination model upgrades and (2) preliminary flight brassboard design. The period of performance for the basic effort will be an additional eighteen (18) months. The options will run sequentially for twenty-four (24) months. This effort is the continuation of a design effort which was initiated by Raytheon Missile Systems (formerly Hughes Aircraft Company) and since significant progress has been attained toward bringing this discriminating interceptor ladar to fruition, including time and the investment of considerable monies, this effort will be continued with Raytheon Missile Systems. This effort requires a SECRET facility clearance. No foreign subcontracting participation has been experienced nor is it expected. Because of the requirement to exploit effort in which the government has invested considerable time and money and the need to position the technology for timely technological infusion into the National Missile Defesne (NMD) on a schedule which meets NMD objectives, the action is directed to Raytheon Missile Systems under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. This notice is not a request for proposals, however, responses received from this notice willbe considered in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(d)(2). All responses should be directed to SMDC-CM-CN/Judith Staggs and must be received within fifteen (15) days after the date of publication of this synopsis. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. See Note(s): 22. Posted 09/15/98 (I-SN250068). (0258)
