Tactical Combat and Electronic Warfare Systems Research and Development

This is a presolicitation notice IAW FAR Subpart 5.2

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Tactical Electronic Warfare Division (TEWD), Electronic Warfare Modeling and Simulation (EWM&S) Branch is seeking engineering support services in a variety of disciplines related to Tactical Electronic Warfare (EW) and Combat Systems (CS) Research and Development (R&D). The areas of interest include: systems engineering, combat systems analysis, Electronic Attack (EA) and Electronic Support (ES) systems performance, EW tactics development, test and evaluation (T&E), data collection, and computer modeling and simulation (M&S). The mission of the EWM&S Branch is to develop and utilize M&S tools for the effectiveness evaluation of present, proposed, and future EW concepts, systems, and configurations for aircraft and ship systems. TEWD’s work is conducted across several functional areas to include: collection and formulation of basic requirements and determination of EW effectiveness criteria; survey of EW candidate systems for inservice capabilities, state-of the-art, and R&D technology; development of tools required to conduct effectiveness evaluations; systematic application of tools and procedures in the evaluation of EW systems; and reporting of individual candidate evaluation results to both identify R&D requirements and to permit comparison with other candidates. The scope of this effort covers a broad range of R&D needed to support TEWD in a variety of disciplines related to EW and computer M&S applications. Specific tasking required is as follows:

• Task Area 1 – Systems Engineering
• Task Area 2 – Hardware Development
• Task Area 3 – Fleet/Live Fire Events
• Task Area 4 – Computer Modeling and Simulations
• Task Area 5 – Infrastructure
• Task Area 6 – Data Collection
• Task Area 7 – Technical Support
