E-MAIL: Terri Brown, brownte@eglin.af.mil. The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Systems Program Office, Air Armament Center (AAC)/YU, Eglin AFB, Florida, intends to issue a contract or contract modification for the JDAM Product Improvement Program. AAC/YU is currently in Concept Exploration (CE) Phase II of a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance performance and tactical employment of the JDAM baseline weapon system. To expedite this effort, the JDAM program office requires technical support in the following areas: 1) Analysis and evaluation of precision guidance technologies for potential JDAM use 2) Analysis and evaluation of extended range concepts for potential use by JDAM 3) Analysis of alternate [JDAM] concepts of use/employment 4) Analysis and evaluation of means/technologies to counter system threats to JDAM operation In order to perform these efforts, a contractor must be very familiar with the JDAM weapon system and modes of operation, and must have access to the JDAM weapon system technical data package (TDP), including allof its sub-components, and the JDAM 6 DOF model. This is necessary to understand the JDAM performance characteristics and weapon system interfaces in order to determine if potential precision guidance technologies can be integrated with the JDAM weapon system design. At this time, the Government does not own/possess a TDP for the JDAM weapon system nor will the Government provide one to complete this effort. The TDP is currently owned by The McDonnell Douglas Corporation, A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Boeing Company, PO Box 516, St Louis MO 63166. The contractor must be able to complete the effort by approximately 31 May 2001.
