Award Notification: W900KK-11-C-0037, Differential-Mode Optically-Based Current-Sensing System (DOCS)

Added: Apr 13, 2010 4:00 pm Modified: Nov 02, 2011 10:49 amTrack Changes This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded (FAR 16.301-2).

Contracts awarded in response to this BAA are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the use of competitive procedures IAW FAR 6.102(d)(2)(i). Proposals received in response to a BAA are evaluated IAW FAR 35.016 and the terms and conditions of the BAA through a peer review process.

Under the PEO STRI Broad Agency Announcement for the Test Resource Management Center, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Test and Evaluation/Science and Technology (T&E/S&T) Program Office, has a requirement to research, develop and verify innovative test and evaluation (T&E) systems for the advanced development of the technologies required to support T&E for the Directed Energy Test (DET) Science & Technology (S&T) Test Technology Area. As part of a survey of its T&E infrastructure, the Department of Defense (DOD) has identified the need for a Small Autonomous Data Acquisition (SADA) system that can be easily employed as a data logging witness within a test article without substantial cable routing and mounting needs. The proposed technology would consist of an interface for currently employed probes, a pulse processor to down convert the signal, a high speed electronic analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a high-speed Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a memory chip, batteries and power conditioning, and extensive shielding.

As part of a survey of its T&E infrastructure, the Department of Defense (DOD) has identified the need to develop, validate, and design a high-energy laser (HEL) Hazard Assessment Methodology (HHAM), to develop methodologies and software to quantify the risks associated with laser-energy reflection hazards to personnel and sensors, including orbital assets. HHAM will establish a unified methodology with improved physical representation of the dynamics of reflected laser-energy hazards, and probabilistic assignment of hazard events in a manner consistent with DOD risk-based safety management practices.

As part of a survey of its T&E Infrastructure, the Department of Defense (DOD) has identified the need to develop, validate, and design the Probabilistic Reflection Injury Model (PRIM) project to produce a probabilistic dynamic bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model, based on measurements, with both deterministic and stochastic components. These improvements will provide the T&E community with a methodology to model the dynamic BRDF behavior of target materials and calculate the resulting probability of injury or damage, and to incorporate this methodology into an analysis tool that determines hazard zones for simulated test scenarios.

Added: Apr 13, 2010 4:00 pm The DET S&T BAA is part of the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) research and development program. At the direction of the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC), Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), PEO STRI has the mission to solicit white papers and proposals under the DET S&T Test Technology Area of the Test and Evaluation/Science and Technology Program for advanced development of technologies. This BAA is issued to satisfy the TRMC requirement to support Test and Evaluation of Directed Energy Weapon Systems spanning the high energy laser (HEL) and high power microwave (HPM) domains.

FY11 topic areas for technology development will be included on the BAA solicitation when released. Projected BAA released date is 15 April 2010.
