It is envisioned that each proposed effort shall consist of a study, followed by execution of the proposed approach, contingent upon a government decision to fund the approach.



All responses shall be implemented in an open architecture framework.



All interfaces and architectures delivered under this contract shall be government owned.



Any offeror supplying a programmable modem developed under this effort shall also deliver a firmware/software development tool kit to enable subsequent waveform development by the government. This requirement is not intended to apply to low-cost COTS/GOTS modems that require no further development.



All offerors shall supply a block diagram of the risk reduction system being developed under this effort, along with a block diagram of a tactical variant of the system. Any differences between the risk reduction and tactical variants shall be documented, and a description of any work required to move from the risk reduction design to the tactical design shall be provided.



All offerors shall conduct budgetary analysis of production and unit costs to demonstrate the anticipated acquisition cost of the system.



All offerors shall provide a link budget analysis to substantiate performance estimates of their risk reduction and tactical systems.



All proposals shall have a work breakdown structure and a spend plan that covers the duration of the work to be performed.
