Description
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, Maryland, AIR 4.5 Avionics Division, has a requirement for technical and scientific support for research, development, integration, analysis, assessment, and test and evaluation of AIR 4.5 equipment, sensor systems, systems, subsystems and components. Tasks required in support of this effort include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Avionics Architecture and Systems Engineering including investigation of emerging technologies to identify concepts, system configuration, architecture, and advanced avionics development; 2. Avionics Science and Technology support, including systems engineering and development expertise in the analysis, comparative candidate trade-off studies, system, hardware and software specifications, and the design, development, integration, and testing of core avionics; 3. Network Centric Warfare (NCW) support, including assessments of DoD warfare and mission planning systems, intelligence analysis, processing and evaluation systems, imagery compression and dissemination techniques, and situational awareness and assessment systems in meeting these requirements; 4. Support of Flight Information Systems, including engineering and technical support in the development and maintenance of flight information systems; 5. Support of Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems, including support of the development and maintenance of Advanced Electronic Counter-Measures (ECM) for both domestic and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to include On-Board/Electro-Optic/Infrared EW Systems, Passive EW Systems, and User File Development/Test facilities; 6. Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors support, including the use of airborne platform characteristics in performing conceptual radar/microwave system tradeoff analyses, industry surveys, and configuration design and development of draft performance specifications; 7. Support of Electro-Optics (EO) and Special Missions Sensors, including engineering and technical support for existing reconnaissance programs, the incorporation of enhancement modifications to existing, fielded systems as well as the design and development of new components and systems; 8. Support of Imagery and Video Systems Software Enhancements, including engineering support in the development, integration, and demonstration of leading edge technologies that enhance situational awareness and provide intelligence information for mission planning and time critical targeting; 9.
