The Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane has a requirement for a Research and Development (R&D) effort in a spiral development of a Maritime Domain Identification System. The MDIS shall detect radar emissions, identify the host platform, determine the level of interest based on other received intelligence, correlate the intercept with other sensor data for geo-location and tracking, and provide alerts to cue safe interdiction prior to entry. MDIS development is planned as a five year effort culminating with operational testing of full capability Engineering Development Model (EDM) and initial production units. It is anticipated that the resulting contract will procure development, proof of concept, a first article, and limited production through three phases. The Proof of Concept Phase will cover MDIS concept development, analysis of alternatives, preliminary system specifications/drawings, development of initial capabilities; sensor suite evaluation, proof of concept syst em development and sensor integration, and proof of concept demonstration. The First Article/Prototype system development will cover MDIS prototype system development, system/COTS enhancement (technology insertion), design and interface specifications, user scrutiny event, support of the development of requests for information associated with Specific Emitter Identification (SEI) capabilities, and market survey for selection of technology insertion SEI capabilities. The initial production and field plan phase will cover MDIS EDM system development, integration of selected new SEI capabilities, investigation of range extension technologies, operational testing, full product specification and documentation, and support of technology transition to selected end user for deployment. This R&D requirement is anticipated to result in a 5-year, Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract with options. Contract Data Requirements Lists will be included in the solicitation to support data deliverables. Inspection and acceptance will be at destination by NSWC Crane personnel.
