This is a follow-on contract for an expiring Navy software research and development contract in support of the Naval Research Laboratory's Tactical Electronic Warfare Division (TEWD) Advanced Techniques Branch simulation and modeling. Century Computing Inc. of Laurel, Maryland is the incumbent contractor. However,the follow-on is being launched as a full and open competition. The period of performance will be sixty months with a level of effort of approximately three persons per year anticipated; it is anticipated that performance will commence in early September, 1997. This research and development is directed towards improvements and enhancements to the NRL TEWD CRUISE_MISSILES anti-ship missile engagement model in the areas of: simulation architecture and component implementation; performance enhancement; enhanced graphics displays on Silicon Graphics workstations and X/Windows displays; configuration management design and tools; development of X/Window-based graphical user interfaces; and FORTRAN, C, and C++ language pre-processors and compiler technologies. The desired experience and qualifications include: in-depth knowledge of UNIX systems-level programming and internals; design, implementation, and maintenance of highly optimized C and FORTRAN code for workstations and supercomputers; experience with C++ and object-oriented programming practices; development and maintenance of large commercially viable software packages; and a supported record of delivering reliable results on schedule. The work is to be done at NRL. Secret clearances are required for all personnel working on this project. It is anticipated that proposals will be due forty days after issuance of the solicitation, with a deadline for questions nineteen days after issuance. Any responsible source may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by NRL. Telephone requests for the solicitation will not be honored.
