- Description
- In February 2005, the Navy Aerial Target and Decoy Systems Program Office (PMA-208) of the Program Executive Office for Strike Weapons and Unmanned Aviation [PEO (W)], conducted a Request for Information (RFI). The United States Navy has an emergent requirement for a cost-effective aerial target system to simulate a Subsonic Cruise/Supersonic Sprint Sea-Skimming Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Threat. This Target System will be used to support current Fleet training of weapon systems as well as the test and evaluation of ship self-defense systems currently in development. Examples of these programs in development include, but are not limited to, the SM-6, AEGIS, and DD (X) programs. It is anticipated that the target program will enter System Development and Demonstration (SD&D) in early FY-07 timeframe. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is desired in late FY-10. As a result, the program office is considering various acquisition strategies in order to meet the cost, schedule and performance requirements. These strategies may include, but are not limited to: new development; modification of current target or missile systems; and conversion of surplus missiles in US inventory. /////// Subsequent to the original RFI the program requirements have been refined and the Navy has nearly completed writing the Capabilities Development Document in anticipation of submission for review in November 2005. INFORMATION THAT MAY BE CRITICAL FOR INDUSTRY TO REFINE ITS CONCEPTS FOR THE THREAT-D TARGET SYSTEM HAS BEEN UPLOADED TO THE PMA-208 WEB SITE. [(Titled: THREAT-D Industry update.ppt) located at http://www.navair.navy.mil/pma208/; click on ?Current Events?.] /////// The purpose of this posting is to request Industry review the Power Point presentation and the refined requirements and provide feedback to PMA-208 on the impact these additional requirements definitions have on the ability to viably compete and deliver a target vehicle to support operations in late FY10. /////// Industry comments and feedback to this Request will be analyzed, considered, and possibly used in the development of a potential Solicitation and/or Request for Proposal (RFP). All responses shall be delivered via email to Ms. Jennifer Augustine, jennifer.augustine@navy.mil, and Mr. Joe Valenzuela, joseph.valenzuela@navy.mil, NO LATER THAN 1 DECEMBER 2005. /////// THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT, NOR WILL THE GOVERNMENT PAY FOR ANY INFORMATION SOLICITED OR PROVIDED. Questions or comments regarding this survey may be addressed to Jennifer Augustine at (301) 757-5896 (jennifer.augustine@navy.mil) or Mr. Joe Valenzuela at (301) 757-6115 (joseph.valenzuela@navy.mil).
