Kurdziel, Engineer, at (401) 832-5529; FAX (401) 832-7346 WEB: Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport, http://www.npt.nuwc.navy.mil/contract/. E-MAIL: Patricia Kurdziel, NUWC Engineer, kurdzielpj@npt.nuwc.navy.mil. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is seeking sources for commercially available buoy systems for submarine use. Candidate buoys should be capable of being used in "cast and drift" operation vice towed. Also, they must be recoverable and include a fiber optic tether for link back to the submarine. The ideal buoy system would include either a communications or electronic surveillance capability or could be reconfigured for U.S Navy specific payload. The maximum acceptable diameter is 24 inches. For further information, please call Patricia Kurdziel at (401)832-5529. Posted 03/26/99 (W-SN313166). (0085)
