The Air Armament Center, Advanced Projects Division, Advanced Programs Branch, Eglin AFB, FL 32542 intends to award a sole source contract to Raytheon Missile Systems for Subminiature Flight Safety System (SFSS) Miniature Air Launch Decoy (MALD) Integration and Flight Test Demonstration.

The goal of the SFSS program is to develop and demonstrate a universal, subminiature, warhead compatible, flight safety system. The proposed weapon system, MALD, has been selected as the test demonstration platform for the SFSS program. The primary purpose of the subject contract is to provide MALD integration support to the Subminiature Flight Safety System, which is being concurrently developed under a separate contract. By integrating the SFSS into the MALD, 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 Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) Block I or Block II 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 MALD platform. Work to be performed encompasses design, development, test, and flight test associated with weapon system level certification. Raytheon 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.

The contract is anticipated to be awarded with an estimated total contract period of performance not to exceed 24 months.
