Shires, Contracting Officer, ph: 703-325-6684 WEB: Click here to access the DTRA Current Solicitations, http://www.dswa.mil/dswaproc/curproc.htm. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contract specialist via, daniel.bertuna@dtra.mil. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency has a requirement to develop and enhance the EMP (high altitude and source region, known as, HEMP & SREMP) environments and their coupling calculations to the regime of target field parameters of interest to the warfighters and battle planning analysts. This will require modifying the existing codes for calculating EMP environments and coupling to targets of interest to DTRA customers. 2-D and 3-D calculations by DOE laboratories for the weapon outputs caused by asymmetry in weapon disassembly at explosion in the atmosphere will also impact the EMP environments and coupling codes calculations. The asymmetry in the outputs release will produce new results for the EMP effects calculations which need to be optimized for specific target geometry and locations. This will be a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The subject solicitation will be provided on the DTRA Homepage ONLY at www.dswa.mil/dswaproc/cont_act.htm. No hardcopy will be provided. All amendments to the solicitation (including questions and answers) will also appear on the home page. It will be your responsibility to view the home page frequently to note any changes or updates. The solicitation for this effort will be issued on or about 8 March 1999. For information, contact Dan Bertuna, via phone (703) 325-1197; fax (703) 325-9295 or e-mail: daniel.bertuna@dtra.mil Posted 02/19/99 (W-SN300106). (0050)
