A -- FIXED WING VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM SOL PRDA-97-02-FIK POC Jarens D. Murray, 2LT, USAF, Contract Negotiator, (937) 255-5901, Mr. Larry Kopa, Contracting Officer, (937) 255-5901` NOTICE: INCORPORATE CHANGES AS FOLLOWS: PART 1 of 2, Section B -- Requirements, 2), sentence which reads, "The demonstration program will strike a balance between the FWV goals achieved, the number and types of technologies flight tested and demonstrated, and the degree of "missionization" incorporated in the demonstrator platform(s)." is changed to read as follows: "The demonstration program will strike a balance between the FWV goals achieved, the number and types of technologies flight tested and demonstrated." The sentence which reads, "The flight demonstrator shall be an uninhabited modular system consisting of the vehicle management system, vehicle platform, sensor packages, data recording devices, and other systems required to flight validate an identified subset of technologies from the Fixed Wing Vehicle program thrust areas: structure, flight control, aeromechanics, and subsystems." is changed to read as follows: "The flight demonstrator shall be an uninhabited modular system consisting of the vehicle management system, vehicle platform, data recording devices, and other systems required to flight validate an identified subset of technologies from the Fixed Wing Vehicle program thrust areas: structure, flight control, aeromechanics, and subsystems. " The following sentence which reads, "An additional goal of the Fixed Wing Vehicle Demonstration program will be the capability to demonstrate other technologies such as avionics, propulsion and weapons after the initial flight test by employing the vehicle modularity." is deleted in its entirety. The section entitled, 1. PROGRAM STRATEGY: and sentence which reads, "The intent of the Fixed Wing Vehicle Demonstration program is to develop an uninhabited modular flight test vehicle(s) to flight demonstrate aircraft technologies." is changed to read as follows: "The intent of the Fixed Wing Vehicle Demonstration program is to develop modular flight test vehicle(s) to flight demonstrate aircraft technologies." The sentence which reads, "BLOCK I will investigate the interrelated issues of technology candidates, FWV goals, technology demonstration requirements, vehicle concepts, "mission" performance requirements, cost, schedule, and BLOCK II planning." is changed to read as follows: "BLOCK I will investigate the interrelated issues of technology candidates, FWV goals, technology demonstration requirements, vehicle concepts, cost, schedule, and BLOCK II planning. The sentence which reads, "The purpose of BLOCK II is to design, develop, construct, and flight test modular uninhabited flight demonstration vehicle(s)." is changed to read as follows: "The purpose of BLOCK II is to design, develop, construct, and flight test modular flight demonstration vehicle(s)." The section entitled, 2. TECHNICAL APPROACH: the sentence which reads, "These requirements are meant to communicate the Air Force desire for an air-vehicle platform capable of performing some type of notional fighter/attack mission." is deleted in its entirety. The following sentence which reads, "Preliminary vehicle requirements of the modular demonstration platform are: (1) maneuvering capability... ." is change to read as follows: "Preliminary vehicle requirements of the modular demonstration vehicle are: (1) maneuvering capability... ." Subpart (4) of this section which reads, "(4) The vehicle design should be compatible with signature requirements expected for next generation combat air vehicles. These signature requirements may be classified (reference: Security Classification Guide for Air Force Low/Counter Low Observables (LO/CLO) Programs dated 3 January 1994." is deleted in its entirety. Subpart (8) which reads, "(8) Government intends on providing a production engine and vehicle control station. Contractors should suggest a production version of these systems along with modifications necessary to support their proposed vehicle." is changed to read as follows: "(8) Government intends on providing a production engine and vehicle control station for flight test. Contractors should suggest a production version of these systems along with modifications necessary to support their proposed vehicle." -- THE FOREGOING REPRESENTS ALL REQUIRED CHANGES FOR PRDA 97-02-FIK PART 1 OF 2. INCORPORATE CHANGES FOR PART 2 OF 2 AS FOLLOWS: The section entitled, 3. PAYOFF: the sentence which reads: "The successful flight demonstration of a modular uninhabited Fixed Wing Vehicle platform will show that the integrated technologies are mature enough to be incorporated into production builds of new military aircraft." is changed to read as follows: "The successful flight demonstration of a modular uninhabited Fixed Wing Vehicle demonstrator will show that the integrated technologies are mature enough to be incorporated into production builds of new military aircraft." The following sentence which reads: "The specific goals from the national Fixed Wing Vehicle program are to demonstrate 20% reduction in production ... ." is changed to read as follows: "The specific goals from the national Fixed Wing Vehicle program are to demonstrate or exceed 20% reduction in production ... ." The section entitled, 5. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: the sentences which reads: "However, an offeror may have relevant approaches to investigating the impact of signature requirements on vehicle design aspects of the Fixed Wing Vehicle Demonstration program that cannot be addressed in their proposal because of security limitations (reference: Security Classification Guide for Air Force Low/Counter Low Observables (LO/CLO) Programs dated 3 January 1994). Further, no special access required information is authorized for submission with your proposal." are deleted in their entirety. The section entitled, C-ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, subpart (5), sentence which reads, "Proposal should include propulsion and control station requirements for the modular uninhabited air vehicle." is changed to read as follows, "Proposal should include propulsion and control station requirements for the modular uninhabited demonstrator ."THE FOREGOING REPRESENTS ALL REQUIRED CHANGES FOR PRDA 97-02-FIK PART 2 OF 2. ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF WL/FIKA PRDA 97-02 FIK PARTS I AND II REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. (0358)
