High-Powered Electromagnetics (HPEM) Source Research

Added: Apr 26, 2016 6:53 pm The purpose of this CALL is for all offerors to propose Research & Development in BAA-RVKD-2014-0003 Technical Area 6 "NextGen HPEM." The objective of this technical area is to develop the source and antenna technologies capable of meeting the platform and capability constraints of potential HPEM capability concepts. Work in this area shall include the development of broadband high power amplifiers, tunable high power oscillators, and broadband antennas that can be used to develop empirical radio frequency (RF) effects over a broad range of frequencies, pulse lengths, pulse repetition frequencies, and power densities. Orchestrating the development of HPEM sources to meet Technical Performance Measures/Metrics leading to technology maturation from concept demonstration to laboratory demonstration is a key tenet of this technical area's focus. This requirement will be awarded as an Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract with up to twelve (12) task orders.  The first task order will be awarded along with the Basic IDIQ contract.   Offerors are encouraged, but not required, to develop teaming arrangements if necessary to provide the best technical solution to the Government's requirement.

**A site visit to Phillips Research Site (PRS) and some of the facilities anticipated as base support for this effort is planned tentatively for Friday 6 May 16.  There will only be one site visit for this solicitation and offerors are encouraged to participate in the visit.  Offerors who are interested in attending please notify the Contracting Primary Point Of Contact, Pearl Solano, no later than COB Monday 2 May 2016.**
