The goal of the SFSS program is to develop and demonstrate a universal, subminiature, warhead compatible, flight safety system. The proposed weapon system, JASSM, has been selected as the test demonstration platform for the SFSS program. The primary purpose of the subject contract is to provide JASSM integration support to the Subminiature Flight Safety System, which is being concurrently developed under a separate contract. By integrating the SFSS into the JASSM, demonstrations can be accomplished to prove out the SFSS design. The overall object of the subject effort is to complete all activities necessary to design, develop, and qualify an SFSS demonstration unit via ground, captive-carry, and flight test demonstration activity in the JASSM weapon system. The SFSS demonstration unit will be qualified in multiple configurations in a laboratory environment to demonstrate potential SFSS capabilities with other weapons in their flight test environments before being integrated into the JASSM platform. Work to be performed encompasses design, development, test, and flight test associated with weapon system level certification. Lockheed Martin has proprietary knowledge of the weapon system mandated for demonstration and extensive integration experience with the full spectrum of technologies associated with integration, qualification, and test of weapon safety systems, and associated telemetry applications.
