A -- PUBLIC WORKSHOP -- DARPA MICRO ADAPTIVE FLOW CONTROL PROGRAM Special Notice 99-15: This Notice, issued pursuant to the FAR at 15.210, announces a "Workshop on Micro Adaptive Flow Control Technologies to Military Applications" to be held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center Hotel on Tuesday and Wednesday, 26 October & 27 1999. The Hotel is located at 5000 Seminary Rd., Alexandria, VA 22311. A block of rooms at the Government per diem rate has been reserved at the Hotel (Reservation Phone Number: 703-845-1010) through 7 October 1999. In order to receive this rate attendees must identify themselves as participants in the "MAFC Workshop." There is no registration fee required for attendance; however, there will be a nominal charge for a buffet luncheon and snacks to be served at the meeting. This Workshop will be a precursor to a DARPA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), to be issued pursuant to the FAR at 35.016, entitled "Micro Adaptive Flow Control Technologies to Military Applications" in the period immediately following this Workshop. The BAA will solicit white papers and then proposals for funded programs in adaptive flow control and their applications to military systems. The Workshop will be held over two full-day sessions. A detailed agenda for the first session will be provided at the Workshop. The first session will be held in the Terrace Room of the Hotel on 26 October. In order to encourage the widest possible participation from industry, academia and government researchers, the meeting will be a free and open exchange of information on the state-of-the-art on actuators, sensors, and concepts for flow control applications. An overview of the current DARPA-funded MAFC activities will be presented to establish baseline capabilities and assure there will be no duplication of current activities. There will also be a summary plenary session for discussion and interchange of both technical and programmatic information. The second session, to be held on Wednesday, 27 October in the Executive Center of the Hilton, will provide an opportunity for up to 32 individual 15-minute presentations by industry, university, and federal research laboratories to discuss unique or proprietary information with a small panel of government personnel. These private reviews will be held for the purpose of informing DARPA of special capabilities, unique insight, and/or undocumented changes in the state-of-the-art in MAFC actuators, systems, and applications. Within the limitations of time and space, every effort will be made to accommodate any party wishing to make a presentation. However, presentations will be scheduled on a first come-first served basis through a timed and dated e-mail message to Jack Suddreth at SRS Technologies at Jack.Suddreth@wg.srs.com; phone, if necessary, at (703) 284-7786. The Workshop Chairman will be Dr. Richard Wlezien, Program Manager, Micro Adaptive Flow Control Program, Tactical Technology Office, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Dr. Wlezien will respond only to general questions concerning the Workshop. While Dr. Wlezien's phone number is 703-696-2377, communication via e-mail is preferred at rwlezien@darpa.mil. Questions of an administrative nature should be addressed to Jack Suddreth at SRS Technologies. Posted 09/29/99 (W-SN386189).
