A -- NOTICE OF INDUSTRY BRIEF FOR POTENTIAL SOURCES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPING OF HOSTILE FORCE INTEGRATED TARGETING SYSTEMS POC Scott Morrow, (619) 524-7200 E-MAIL: Click here to contact Mr. Morrow via e-mail, morrows@spawar.navy.mil. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) is currently planning one or more Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) for the research, development, and prototyping of a Navy Precision Geolocation System to be called the Hostile Force Integrated Targeting System (HITS). HITS prototypes will be required to operate with and interface to various Navy platforms, communication links, and receiver systems. Candidate ships for HITS include CG-47, DDG-51, DD-963, LPD-17, LSD-41, LHD-1 and SC-21 ships. Air platforms will include P-3, Navy UAV's and LAMPS helicopters. The planned vehicle(s) will be awarded in FY99 and will last for 2-3 years. A kickoff meeting for all interested contractor personnel is planned for 0900 a.m. on 26 June 1998 at SPAWAR, 4301 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92110-3127. SECRET clearances will be required to attend. The requirements of this system are specified in a HITS Performance and Requirements (P&R) document, which will be made available to interested offerors between 01 June 1998 and 26 June 1998 in a reading room. This room will also contain information from a number of Government-sponsored efforts and advanced technology initiatives completed on HITS, including a shipboard HITS communication study and experimental collections from land, ship and aircraft platforms demonstrating the technical feasibility of various HITS concepts. The reading room will be located at Ocean Systems Engineering Corporation, 3142 West Vista Way, Suite 400, Oceanside, CA 9205. SECRET clearances will be necessary for contractor personnel to access the reading room. Visit requests should be sent to Michele Silva, who may be reached by phone at (760) 722-3222 and by fax at (760) 722-3111. Access to the reading room will be documented. Potential bidders for the contemplated OTAs will be required to submit a statement of capabilities to develop HITS to SPAWAR by 15 July 1998.
