A -- COMPACT KINETIC ENERGY MISSILE (CKEM) SOL DAAH01-00-R-RB01 DUE 012700 POC Kyle Samples, Contract Specialist (256) 876-5326; Patsy C. Garrison, Contracting Officer (256) 842-7406 THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF CBD ANNOUNCEMENT FOR -- Title: Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) SOL BAA DAAH01-00-R-RB01. CONTINUED -- ...for determining required missile longitudinal and lateral acceleration, motor performance characteristics, guidance implementation scheme, control actuation system, and flight computer capability, and for achieving a maximum number of stored kills within the constraints posed by the lethality requirements and the alternative launch platforms. The government is also interested in the processes that will be used to define system level performance characteristics such as, system timelines from target detection to missile launch, targeting prioritization, probability of hit, probability of Kill, field of engagement, rate of fire, functional performance requirements for the targeting sensor(s), targeting false alarm rate, and terminal accuracy against stationary ground targets, crossing ground targets, and maneuvering rotor wing aircraft. While these features do not capture all characteristics or trade-offs, offerors should discuss these features in their proposal. PROGRAM FUNDING: Pending Congressional approval, the Army has budgeted approximately $1.5 M of FY 00 funds for up to three CKEM System Concept Definition Study contracts and anticipates approximately $6 M in FY 01 for the exercising of options across all contracts. Total program funds through outyears may approach $125 M for all contractors and all options. Outyear funding is subject to adjustments in the Army Science &Technology program priorities. SCOPE: System support is solicited for the System Development Segment of the CKEM program with each source formulating the system approach and design requirements CKEM missile system during the Phase I System Concept Definition Study effort. This includes clarification of operational requirements, quantification of military benefit, development of new and innovative design concepts, performance of the system trades necessary for a top-level missile system design, and the allocation/flow-down of requirements to the component level. Based on the component requirements, the status of relevant technologies for the recommended concept(s) will be assessed and specific technology and component requirements necessary to achieve the defined level of missile performance will be identified for inclusion in the Technology and Component Development Segment. The key issues will be also defined, together with an evaluation methodology to determine if the resulting technology and component development will satisfy system requirements. A process will be defined for rebalancing system design to accommodate variances in the technology and component developments compared to initial requirements, and constraints imposed by candidate launcher platform designs. Option 1, System Design and Analysis, if exercised, this option is for approximately 24 months and will include detailed system design and rebalancing as required to reflect the emerging results from the Technology and Component Development Segment and to ensure compatibility of the missile and missile launcher with the FCV and other candidate launch platforms. During this option, the sources will define the system concept in detail and perform system trades and assessments (utilizing both 6-Degree-of-Freedom (6-DOF) and Force-on-Force (FOF) models; compatible to Interactive Distributed Engineering Evaluation & Analysis Simulation (IDEEAS), Modular Semiautomated Support Forces (MODSAF), Combined Arms Support Task Force Evaluation Model (CASTFOREM) and/or other HLA simulations). The Army intends that assessments of components may include state-of-the art components from other Government programs as well as those being developed under other Army contracts.
