- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Patuxent River, MD is seeking information from potential sources regarding radar technologies for air and surface target object detection, acquisition, and classification. This request is for INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. Our intent, in conjunction with the Airship Advanced Development Program Office, is to develop lightweight, low powered airship based radar systems that will support data collection and studies of air, sea, and ground target object detection. This effort will include low flying air vehicles with a broad range of velocities, sea surface targets, and ground based moving targets. Multi-polarization radars are of great interest in addition to Synthetic Aperture Radar/Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR/ISAR), Foliage Penetration (FOPEN) and Ground Penetration (GPEN) modes or capabilities to include wide-bandwidth radars. Real-time product display with phase history data storage are important capabilities for the airship based radar systems. Data collected will support phenomenology studies, algorithm development, and information dissemination testing, and it will ultimately lead to the development of new airborne radar systems. Companies responding to this request should provide detailed information on their capabilities and experience to Donald Statter, Code 4.5.5, 48110 Shaw Road Unit 5, Building 2187, Suite 3120-C3, NAS Patuxent River, MD 20670-1906. Interested Companies are requested to provide the following information: Company point of contact, address and phone number; Radar system description to include weight, size, power, and performance capabilities; Recording devices and their capabilities; data format(s); Available timeframe; and a description of current or past efforts in airborne maritime surveillance using RF technologies. Respondents must clarify if their firm can provide commercial or non-developmental/prototype items that could be modified to meet NAWCAD’s needs. Written responses are to be limited to 5 pages plus pre-printed brochures. Submit responses/brochures any time on or before 28 February 2003. All proprietary portions of the submitted responses should be clearly identified and will be treated in the strictest of confidence. Proprietary information MUST be marked as such, on a page-by-page basis. Please reference this synopsis number on both the mailing envelope as well as on all enclosed documents. Written responses are not restricted in any way to any particular entity. Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and small, HUBZone small disadvantaged, and women owned small businesses are encouraged to participate. Interested companies should indicate whether or not they are small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), or a large business. Please address all technical questions to Mr. Donald Statter, Code 4.5.5, (301) 342-0043. This announcement is NOT a Request For Proposal nor does the Government intend to pay for any information/items submitted in response to this synopsis. This synopsis does not commit the Government to award a contract. This synopsis is for market research only and any procurement resulting from this announcement will be published separately in FedBizOpps.
