14 -- Aerial Target System to Simulate a Subsonic Cruise/Supersonic Sprint Sea-Skimming Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Threat

In February 2005, the Navy Aerial Target and Decoy Systems Program Office (PMA-208) of the Program Executive Office for Strike Weapons and Unmanned Aviation [PEO(W)] conducted an RFI for an emergent Navy requirement for a cost-effective aerial target system to simulate a Subsonic Cruise/Supersonic Sprint Sea-Skimming Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Threat. Subsequent to the RFI, the Navy began the preparation and staffing of the requirements document and the Capability Development Document (CDD), as well as conducted a series of one-on-one meetings with industry. On 5 March 2006, the Navy released a FedBizOpps notice whereby responses to industry's questions resulting from the one-on-one meetings were published. The 5 March 2006 FedBizOpps notice also discussed the intended release of the draft Request for Proposal (RFP) and Industry Day. No specific dates were mentioned in the announcement. ///////AT THIS TIME, BOTH INDUSTRY DAY AND RELEASE OF THE DRAFT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD. FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ACQUISITION EFFORT IS NOT EXPECTED BEFORE FISCAL YEAR 2007. /////// THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT, NOR WILL THE GOVERNMENT PAY FOR ANY INFORMATION SOLICITED OR PROVIDED.
