Description

The Air Force Research Laboratory, Sensors Directorate, (AFRL/SNKD), Wright Research Site is soliciting research proposals for the Advanced Threat Alert And Response (ATAR) program. Proposals for this effort will be due by no later than 22 Jun 01, 4:00 pm local time. The objective of the ATAR Critical Experiment is to develop an affordable, multi-spectral warning, situational awareness (SA), Radio Frequency (RF) targeting and RF countermeasures system architecture. The technologies will increase the survivability of combat aircraft against advanced, integrated radio frequency, and infrared air defense systems. Emphasis will be placed on the small, low cost, stable, highly reliable, and easily maintainable RF receiver. Warfighter requirements dictate that the receiver architecture be readily reprogrammable for new threats and optimized for multiple platforms according to mission type and stage of mission in order to maximize airspace buyback. This modular approach to retrofit receivers will permit the utilization of the core receiver design on tactical, strategic, transport and theater assets with minimal development and production cost. Ultimately the receiver will form the baseline for multiple future digital radar warning and targeting receivers for existing and future aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and become the heart of an advanced digital Electronic Warfare countermeasure system. Interested offerors may view and/or download the full PRDA solicitation by accessing the Electronic Posting System (EPS) homepage at http://www.eps.gov/. Direct questions to the Contracting point of contact identified in the announcement.
