A -- MODELS FOR ASYMMETRIC ENTITIES PROJECT COVERED BY BAA NAWCTSD 96-1, PREVIOUSLY SYNOPSIZED SOL NAWCTSD BAA 96-1 DUE 123100 POC TECHNICAL POINT OF CONTACT: Dr. Meryl Baker (407)380-4006; PCO: Jane Waller (407)380-4017 WEB: NAWCTSD Website, Open Acquisitions, http://www.ntsc.navy.mil/contract/procure.htm. E-MAIL: Technical Point of Contact, BakerMS@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) has comprehensive modeling, simulation, and training systems responsibilities ranging from research and technology based development through systems acquisition and life cycle support. This mission of this organization supports a broad customer base including all Navy and Marine Corps Commands, DoD, and non-DoD organizations and includes modeling of asymmetric warfare entities. This synopsis seeks the identification of potential predictive, preventive and response models for asymmetric entities covered by the NAWCTSD Broad Agency Announcement BAA NAWCTSD 96-1 previously synopsized. This research falls under Part III (Research Interests), Topic 3-G (Expert Systems Technologies for Training), which includes application of computer engineering/science technology to a model of the operational system variables. Research interest in this area includes the building of predictive, preventive and response models for individuals and organizations likely to engage in asymmetric warfare, and application of computer engineering/science technology to these models to create wargaming simulations for training. Employment of commercial off-the-shelf tools and methods wherever possible is desired. All interested parties are encouraged to contact Dr. Meryl Baker, (407)380-4006, to engage in technical dialog as provided for in BAA 96-1 Rev 2 (see link below). The recommended four-step sequence is: telephone call, informal white paper, invitation to submit a proposal, and contract award for selected projects. This sequence allows earliest determination of the potential for funding and avoids contractor and Government time spent on efforts that may have little chance of being supported. When, and if, invited to submit a proposal, it shall be sent to NAWCTSD, Contracts Division, Code 27523, ATTN: Jane Waller, 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826-3275. Please refer to NAWCTSD BAA 96-1 Rev 2 (see link below) for specific information on proposal preparation, proposal evaluation, proposal forms, and other research interest areas. No solicitation shall be released. Anticipated funding for this initiative for FY2000 under the BAA is projected to be approximately $750K. Posted 09/24/99 (W-SN384258). (0267)
