7. ITAR exemptions under 125.4(b)(1) and 126.4 may apply for contracts resulting from this CALL. Prior to award, if it is determined that an exemption applies, AFRL will be responsible for processing the exemption. Consistent with the ITAR, SAF/IAPD may certify use of license exemptions to approve contractor support for government-to-government programs when the contractor does not have an approved export license.

SAF/IAPD will consider and may certify exemptions to licensing requirements for contractors on a case-by-case basis only. Should the requirement for a license exemption arise, contact the AFRL/RDOS Foreign Disclosure Office to define and implement the best approach

The purpose of this effort is to develop a short pulse electron beam source for electronic defeat research and development.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED

• Development of a prototype electron beam source:

o Develop an electron beam source that produces at least 12 mega-electron volt (MeV) and less than 18 MeV electrons. The electron beam width produced by the source should be less than 2 cm at 20 cm from the source vacuum window.

o Electron beam source shall produce at least 3500 (threshold) pulses per second and has an objective of producing 19000 pulses per second.

Pulse width should not exceed 40 nanoseconds (ns) and should be no less than 20 nanoseconds and the instantaneous current per pulse should be adjustable from 2 to 0.5 Amps. Pulse rate shall be easily adjustable from 1 to maximum pulse rate. Individual pulses will be separated by at least 100 nanoseconds in time. Temporal separation of tightly spaced pulses should be able to be adjusted from 100 to 300 ns.

o The complete electron beam shall be portable on a cart system. Total weight of the system shall not be greater than 170 kg (not including the generator). The electron beam source should be separable into parts for easier transport and should be easily re-assembled in two hours. No individual part of the separated electron beam source should be greater than 110 Kg. The electron beam source shall be built on a cart and completely self-contained on that cart except for the generator and cooling fluid.

o The electron beam source shall have a cooling system integrated into the design to enable operation for at least 2 hours.

o The electron beam source shall be able to powered by a 15 kilowatt (threshold) to 8 kilowatt (objective) portable generator o The electron beam source should be less than 1.2 meters in length and less than 1.5 m tall. The width of the cart and electron beam shall not exceed 60 cm.
