The particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government?s requirements, and market research indicated other companies? similar products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the Agency?s needs. This requirement is being issued to enhance existing hardware. It is needed in support of MDA?s mission: Develop and field an integrated BMDS capable of providing a layered defense for the homeland, deployed forces, friends, and allies against ballistic missiles of all ranges in all phases of flight. The Missile Defense Agency?s mission is to develop, test, and prepare for deployment a missile defense system. Using complementary interceptors, land, sea, and air space based sensors, and battle management command and control systems, the planned missile defense system will be able to engage all classes and ranges of ballistic missile threats. Our programmatic strategy is to develop, rigorously test, and continuously evaluate production, deployment and operational alternatives for the ballistic missile defense system. Missile defense systems being developed and tested by MDA are primarily based on hit-to-kill technology. IT has been described as hitting a bullet with a bullet ? a capability that has been successfully demonstrated in test after test. No other software exists that affords the capability. Hitachi hardware has been adopted by MDA?s program and this interface is the only one that will work with this existing hardware architecture. Any other type of support will add extra costs of an additional hardware interface. There is only one responsible hardware product and no other support will satisfy the agency?s requirements because of equipment requirements. Failure to provide this single type of hardware support will have a significant adverse effect on the program?s mission.
