The following information is provided as part of a market survey of industry to determine if any potential contractors have the skill, knowledge, abilities, and equipment required to complete this effort. The ICBM System Program Office (SPO) is planning a Research & Development program for developing strategic grade accelerometer concepts for a modular Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) guidance system. Accelerometer requirements will ultimately be traded at the guidance subsystem level. It is expected that the program will complete FMA prototype testing in radiation environment in case fitting MK VI. The intent is that FLEXURED MASS ACCELEROMTER (FMA) is proven to meet 0.5 micro g bias stability and 0.5 PPM scale factor stability in a benign IMU environment and meets nuclear hardness and shock and vibe performance requirements. The following objectives will support the expected objective system: Bias stability: Threshold: 0.5 micro g's max. Goal: 0.3 micro g's max. Scale factor stability: Threshold: 0.5 PPM max. Goal: 0.3 PPM max Maturity: TRL 6 by the end of FY 2007 with above accuracy requirements demonstrated in a lab environment representative of the end system including thermal and shock and vibration. Radiation hardening demonstrated for all components other than supporting electronics by the end of FY 2007. Supporting electronics radiation hardening need not be demonstrated until qualification testing in EMD phase. Power: Threshold: 9 W max. Goal: 5 W max Size: Threshold: 17.5 cubic inches max. Goal: 5 cubic inches max MTBF: Threshold: 300,000 hrs min. Goal: 600,000 hrs min Potential sources are invited to submit a Statement of Capabilities by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Standard time by 8 July 2004 to the following address': Advanced Strategic Missile Division ICBM System Program Office (OO-ALC/LMX), Attn. Major Parrish (Phone 801-586-5367, Fax 801-586-0700, email [email protected]), 6023 Elm Lane/Bldg 1248, Hill AFB, UT 84056-5819 and OO-ALC/LMKA, Attn: Jill Berriochoa, 6014 Dogwood Ave/Bldg 1258/Rm 25, Hill AFB, UT 84056-5816. Submissions should be limited to 10 pages and should be specific in outlining source's capabilities to complete FMA prototype testing in radiation environment in case fitting MK VI. Note: This is a sources sought synopsis only, not a request for proposals (RFP), and this is not to be construed as a commitment by the government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be made as a result of this synopsis. No proprietary data should be submitted in response to the synopsis. Any submissions will be considered to be public information and may be handled by non-government personnel.
