ARTICLE I: SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT
The Government will execute a Middle Tier Acquisition rapid acquisition approach for 3DELRR in accordance with Section 804 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (Public Law 114-92) authority. Section 804 authority allows the Government to rapidly develop, test, and field prototypes that have been demonstrated in an operational environment within five years of the approved requirement.
The principal purpose of this agreement is to conduct a demonstration of operational capability for the fulfillment of 3DELRR requirements. The Government will assess the radar systems performance specifications focusing on system performance, manufacturability sustainability, and maintainability, which is directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and supporting platforms and systems like the Control Reporting Center – CRC (AN/TYQ-23A).
The goal of this OT agreement is for subject Performer to successfully demonstrate operational capability of their system against 3DELRR requirements. Upon successful completion of this Prototype OT agreement, the Government may award a follow-on production agreement or contract for a quantity of up to 35 3DELRRs.
