- Description
- Special Notice N0016422SNB69 Agency:� Department of the Navy Office:� Naval Sea Systems Command Location:� NSWC Crane Division Classification Code:� AC13 � National Defense R&D Services; Department of Defense � Military; Experimental Development NAICS Code:� 541715 � Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences Response Due Date:� 20 June 2022 Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Request for Solutions (RFS) in support of Affordable Flight Test Bed: Multi-Service Advanced Capabilities Hypersonics Test Bed (MACH-TB) �PURPOSE This Request for Solutions (RFS) is issued to locate vendors with the ability to develop an affordable flight, Multi-Service, Advanced Capabilities Hypersonics Test Bed (MACH-TB) prototype to rapidly improve hypersonic glide body technologies for Department of Defense (DoD) programs. The primary objective of the MACH-TB prototype project is to develop a more robust, agile, and modular test approach that can be applied to tests beyond sounding rocket campaigns. DoD stakeholder demand signals indicate a need to move toward a more rapid test cadence, including ground and flight testing, to rapidly increase hypersonic glide vehicle Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and demonstrate transition readiness of advanced capabilities to support the Warfighter. �Achieving the objective will require industry to affordably prototype an Experimental Glide Body (EGB), design a modular Test Bed architecture, and leverage existing boosters and a Test Bed to replicate operational hypersonic trajectories. The Government will evaluate the solutions with the intent of awarding an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) in accordance with 10 U.S. Code � 4022.� In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4022(f), and upon a determination that the prototype project (or any subsequent iterative prototyping efforts) was successfully completed under the competitively awarded OTA(s), a follow-on production contract(s) or OTA(s) may be awarded without the use of competitive procedures. � BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY S2MARTS Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) consortium. Interested parties may visit S2MARTS.org for membership information. This project will be managed by a Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division Project Manager. � PROJECT OVERVIEW The Navy�s goal for the MACH-TB Project is a proof of concept and prototype demonstration of modular Experimental Glide Body (EGB) testing hypersonic technologies/experimental payloads in operational trajectories using already available boosters. Please visit the S2MARTS website at https://s2marts.org/ to review the full RFS.
