Joint Electronic Warfare Center Electronic Attack Simulator

Joint Electronic Warfare Center Electronic Attack Simulator. Please send and address all questions and responses for this RFI (Request for Information) to: Primary point of contact is Captain John Covert, JEWC/EWR, (210) 977-3811 NIPR: john.covert.3@us.af.mil, SIPR: John.I.Covert.mil@mail.smil.mil. 1. This is a special notice open to U.S. industry requesting information on technologies available in the next six months to provide electromagnetic environment training capabilities that simulate accurate effects of adversary electronic attack (EA) on receivers including but not limited to GPS, communications, RADAR, and data links. United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) Joint Electronic Warfare Center (JEWC) is interested in reviewing emerging technologies applicable to simulate EA jamming effects during training exercises while minimizing effects to existing commercial users. JEWC is interested in reviewing technologies such as extremely low emitted energy localized jammers, inline hardware signal jammers, and other signal processing techniques. These systems should be able to provide realistic EA effects to an operator, but not effect nearby commercial users of the electromagnetic spectrum. JEWC is interested in reviewing specific system solutions with an anticipated technology readiness level (TRL) of 6 within the next 6 months including prototype demonstrations in a relevant environment. This notice is not to be construed as any type of request for proposal but merely a request for information. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request or to otherwise pay for the information received. 2. The intent of this information request is market research to identify applicable technologies in industry/government and major cost/schedule drivers. This is a broad data call that includes all possible training solutions to mimic accurate EA effects. A good solution should create a realistic EA environment while limiting impact to commercial spectrum and/or very slight hardware platform modifications allowing for the integrated systems to function normally. Company responses should include any whitepapers/presentations outlining the capability. A plan of action and high level milestones that describes how the new technology(s) will be matured to TRL 6 in the next 6 months should be included in the brief. 3. Submissions will be considered up to and including Top Secret and higher. Please coordinate with the technical POC listed below. Companies are to adhere to the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) procedures for the transmittal of classified responses. Company responses are to include a name and telephone number of a point of contact having the authority and knowledge to clarify responses with government representatives. Companies are not limited to a single response. Submissions are due NLT February 20, 2019 by 8:00 AM CST. Electronic transmission is the preferred method (e.g. classified/unclassified email, ARMDEC SAFE, SIPRNET large file distribution system) and may be made by contacting the POC listed in Section 6 of this RFI. As a last resort, responses can be mailed on compact disk and hard copies to: JEWC/EWR Attn: EMS Trainer RFI 2 Hall Blvd, Suite 116 San Antonio, Texas 78243 4. This notice is part of the Government's market research, a continuous process for obtaining the latest information on the "art of the possible" from industry with respect to their current and projected abilities. The information collected may be used by the Government to explore future strategies for Electromagnetic Environment Training. Information received as a result of this request will be considered as sensitive and will be protected as such. Any proprietary information received in response to this request will be properly protected from any unauthorized disclosure. If respondents wish government support contractors to sign a non-disclosure agreement, please include the form in the response. The Government will not use any proprietary information submitted to establish the capability, requirements, approach, or solution so as to not inadvertently restrict competition. 5. Only U.S. companies doing business in or based in the U.S. will be permitted to receive the information package or respond to this request. Responses to questions from interested parties will be promptly answered and provided equally to all interested parties. Any questions that involve the release of proprietary information (or the answer addresses a question peculiar to a company or that company's possible solution) must be submitted in writing to the POC for review and would be answered in general terms as determined by the POC. 6. Primary point of contact is Captain John Covert, JEWC/EWR, (210) 977-3811 NIPR: john.covert.3@us.af.mil, SIPR: John.I.Covert.mil@mail.smil.mil.
