99 -- LANTIRN BOMB DAMAGE ASSESSMENT MOD EMD SOL F33657-99-R-0049 DUE 083199 POC Thomas J. Tippett, PCO, or Joseph E. Bracht,(937) 255-4001 ext 4075 or ext 4081 WEB: 99R0049-LANTIRN Bomb Damage Assessment Mod EMD, http://www.pixs.wpafb.af.mil/pixslibr/99R0049/99R0049.asp. E-MAIL: tippettt@ascfb.wpafb.af.mil, tippettt@ascfb.wpafb.af.mil. 17. The objective of this synopsis is to seek interested sources able to perform an 18- month Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) effort for a LANTIRN Bomb Damage Assessment (BDA) Modification Program. The effort will consist of detailed design, manufacture, integration and test of a radiometer, digital recorder and portable data transfer device with the current LANTIRN Targeting Pod on F-15 aircraft. Software and hardware updates will also be completed on associated support equipment and image interpreter workstations. Offers will be considered from any firm providing clear and convincing evidence of its capability to meet all of the following criteria: (a) design, manufacture, and integrate a two-band, 3- 5 micron radiometer that collects detonation signature data defined in previous phase requirements definitions; (b) complete integration design of a digital recording system that records radiometer data and Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) video imagery; (c) provide retrofit kit for the digital recording system; (d) provide a means of downloading the digital data on the flight line; (e) design and integrate software to be hosted on existing workstations that analyzes data in order to confirm detonation, characterize detonation environment and produce estimates of facility damage; (f) provide updates to Technical Orders/Manuals; (g) support fielding of system; (h) provide all required engineering data; and (i) demonstrate capability to conduct systems engineering, manufacturing and project management for the system within the 18-month effort. This modification would be done on existing LANTIRN targeting pods with no degradation in current mission performance and would be transparent to the pilot. A production/retrofit decision will be made following successful completion of the EMD program and authorization to proceed for retrofits of 43 Targeting Pods spread out over a three year period (i.e. three separate production awards). Delivery of the first LANTIRN BDA Pod is anticipated to occur in January 2002. This synopsis provides notification of a pending Request for Proposal (RFP) release on or about 30 July 1999.
