IMPROVED SPACE COMPUTER PROGRAM (ISCP) BRIEFING FOR INDUSTRY Pamela A. Moffat, Contract Specialist, 505-846-1401; Stephen M. Sandager, Contracting Officer, 505-846-5935. Mr Steven Sandager, Contracting Officer, (505) 846-5935, Maj Ronald S. Marx, Program Manager (505) 846-6067, Capt Joseph D. Nedeau, Deputy Program Manager, (505) 846-5810. On 21 June 1996, a Briefing for Industry (BFI) will be conducted at 377th ABW, Presentation Center, 2000 Wyoming Blvd, S.E., Kirtland AFB, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The morning session consists of an ISCP Overview, including background, technical approach, and programmatics. The afternoon session contains ISCP related technology briefings. ISCP is a three (3) Phase program incorporating technologies provided by on-going research and development programs to create robust, on-board processing capabilities for 21st century Department of Defense (DoD) satellites. Phase I, ISCP Study, consists of a requirements, technologies, and architectures study. Two separate studies will be performed, and these studies will be used for future Air Force planning and will be made available to the Phase II offerors. Phase II, ISCP Technology Testbed Demonstration, will develop a system simulation and a testbed based on commercial hardware to be utilized for system tradeoffs and technology integration evaluations for ISCP. Phase III, ISCP Demonstration, will consist of the design and fabrication of a space qualifiable integrated electronics package. The Phase II and Phase III combined contracts are anticipated to be approximately $50M. The level of classification is UNCLASSIFIED. The objectives of ISCP are: (a) on-board, real-time signal processing for Hyperspectral Imagery (HSI) and Space Based Radar (SBR) missions, (2) fully autonomous satellite operations, (3) reduced weight, volume, power, and cost required to make future electronics subsystems affordable, and (4) high, on-board processing and memory capacities to accommodate commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and software derivatives. ISCP also incorporates key programmatic themes: (1) flexible architectures capable of supporting a variety of design system solutions rather than optimized for single system solutions and (2) scalable building blocks for specific applications. NOTE: Foreign firms are advised that there may be restrictions to becoming the prime contractor. Industry participants should send visit requests to Captain Joseph Nedeau, PL/VTEE, 3550 Aberdeen Ave SE, Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5776. Faxed visit requests are acceptable, Telephone/Fax: (505) 846-5810/5815.
