REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION:

The Air Force Research Laboratory is soliciting proposals in Space-Suitable Electronic Components and Responsive Systems Elements under subparagraph 2 (CALL 0002A) and subparagraph 5 (CALL 0002B) of Space Electronics Technology Area, TOPIC 3, Space Electronics Components and Responsive Systems Electronics of the Broad Agency Announcement VS-06-05 posted on 22 September 2006. See the following for detailed information;

CALL 0002A

Subparagraph 2 of Topic 3, Space Electronic Components and Responsive Systems Elements.

AFRL is soliciting proposals in Space-suitable Electronic Components and Responsive Systems Elements, subparagraph (2), specifically for radiation hardened embedded microprocessor developments that have:

1.

single event error rates compatible with control processor functions (10-4 errors/day or better for the core circuitry / 10E-4 errors/day or better for the core circuitry), 2.

a commercially supported tool chain, 3.

a reasonable approach for marketing the product to potential users as

Intellectual Property embedded into chips and systems, and 4) portability to various semiconductor processes, to include at least one source in the Trusted Foundry program.

CALL 0002B

Subparagraph 5 of Topic 3, Space Electronic Components and Responsive Systems Elements.

AFRL is soliciting proposals in Space-suitable Electronic Components and Responsive Systems Elements, subparagraph (5), specifically in the area of;
