- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), in conjunction with The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Advanced Technology Office will host an industry day on 2 October, 2002, at 1000 Wilson Blvd 31st floor in Arlington VA. The purpose of the Industry Day is to familiarize industry with the Next Generation Communications (XG) program and the associated technology needs in the areas of dynamic, autonomous spectrum assignment for radio frequency (RF) applications. The XG Communications Program is intended to demonstrate enabling technologies and system concepts to improve spectral utilization of military radio frequency emitters by a factor of 20. These demonstrations will include demonstrating a low power/wideband spectrum sensor, time/frequency agile waveforms, and dynamic spectrum access and control. This Industry Day will discuss DARPA?s vision for developing and demonstrating a range of innovative approaches to enabling technologies and system concepts to improve spectral utilization of military radio frequency emitters by a factor of 20. These demonstrations may include demonstrating a low power/wideband spectrum sensor, time/frequency agile waveforms, and dynamic spectrum access and control. At its completion, the Program will have developed and demonstrated an appliqu? for legacy and future emitter systems for joint service utility. The Program will develop enabling technologies and system concepts to provide assured military communications and sensors in support of worldwide, short notice deployments through the dynamic redistribution of allocated spectrum. A solicitation amendment will be released shortly in conjunction with the Industry Day. This solicitation?s objective is to award contracts to define and implement alternative solutions to the Next Generation Spectrum problems as well as to pursue unique high payoff technologies. Receipt of proposals is projected for the second quarter of FY 2002. Attendance at the Industry Day is not a prerequisite for submitting a proposal. However, it will provide a valuable opportunity for questions and answers. Seating at the Industry Day briefing is limited. Request a maximum of two (2) representatives per offeror with four (4) persons maximum per corporation; Please include up to two (2) alternates for the meeting. Badging and sign-in will begin at 0730 hours and the briefing will begin at 0800 hours and will include presentations by contractors working on the XG Program, Government Personnel leading the XG Program, and prospective users of XG technologies. Written questions may be submitted during the conference, and written answers to questions will be verbally delivered at conclusion of the conference, which is expected at 1700 hours. Lunch will be served as part of the conference, and there will be a small registration fee to cover the cost of the meal and incidentals. Attendees should register for the Industry Day providing Name, Company/Organization affiliation, Address, Telephone number, E-mail address not later than 30 September 2002 Registration data can be faxed to (315) 330-1483, attn: Patty Woodard, voice - 315 330-2641, or emailed to Patricia.Woodard@rl.af.mil. Any advance questions pertaining to the solicitation may be e-mailed or faxed so they can be addressed at Industry Day. This Industry Day is for informational purposes only. Participation is totally voluntary, and the Government will not reimburse the attendees for any cost associated with participation and is under no obligation to award any related contract associated with this event.
