Notice of Contract Action (NOCA). A Sources Sought Synopsis was released on 6 June 2002, with no amendments, under the project entitled, ?SatAC Support Contract?. This announcement is to notify all interested parties that Det 8 Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Kirtland AFB NM anticipates releasing a solicitation F29601-02-R-0006 on or about 15 August 2002 entitled, ?Space Object Awareness Research (SOAR)?. AFRL?s Directed Energy (DE) Directorate?s Satellite Assessment Center (SatAC) is the Air Force-chartered organization that evaluates directed energy effects on space systems and performs assessments of space system susceptibilities to directed energy sources for the Department of Defense (reference DoD Instruction 3100.11) and develops tools to perform satellite and space systems technical analyses. Space systems are defined to include satellites, missiles (tactical and ballistic), and the respective supporting architectures. To support this objective, SatAC is interested in augmenting their technical and engineering expertise in the following major areas, to be performed on-site at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Kirtland AFB NM, and at contractors' facilities, and at third-party facilities: (A) Gathering / Analyzing / Modeling Information; (B) System Assessments; (C) Computer Science Support. Descriptions of each of these major areas follows: (A) Gathering / Analyzing / Modeling Information includes obtaining, analyzing, and utilizing information in order to develop detailed system structural and functional models. (B) Space system assessments are physics-based and include interactions with space weather, laser, radio frequency, high-power microwave, and other directed energy mechanisms from ground, air, space, or other emission sources. Assessments include vulnerability analysis, astrodynamics, and other relevant aspects of system-level analyses. (C) Computer Science Support encompasses development and use of software and databases to support system modeling, system assessment, assessment methodology automation, smart data fusion techniques and methods as applied to: Space Situational Awareness (SSA), databases (multi-tier and relational), artificial intelligence, and automated tools/graphical user interfaces (GUIs) delivered to operational DoD customers. A primary objective of the overall effort is the integration of all these areas to support SatAC research programs such as Space Situational Awareness (SSA) in support of DoD information dominance requirements for space.
