N00164-17-S-NB37-0001 - SPECIAL NOTICE - 2017 INNOVATION AND SENSOR FUSION EXPERIMENTATION EXHIBIT AND TECHNICAL INTERCHANGE MEETING - FSG 58 - NAICS 334511 Issue Date: 09 JUN 2017 - Closing Date: 25 JUN 2017 - 11:59 pm ET Amendment 0001: This amendment is being posted to provide notification for an Industry opportunity to participate in Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) Innovation and Sensor Fusion Experimentations Exhibit. The scenarios of the event will be focused on detection, tracking, identification and Electronic Warfare negation to Counter - small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-sUAS) threats. The Government will provide basic access to approved training areas and ranges to conduct experiments, basic venue infrastructure, frequency allocation/deconfliction services, and shore power. The government will provide 12 to 24 Class 1 UAS scenarios/sorties on August 31 and September progressing through scenarios to include single UAS and swarms of UASs in the urban environment at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, Camp Atterbury (MUTC). The Government will provide UAS track data after the event is over for vendor post processing. This data is expected to include UAS latitude, longitude, time and elevation of all UAS flights from the event. Selected industry participants will be able to setup up their capabilities at MUTC on 30 August either as a stand-alone static display or a demonstration/ experiment on 31 August and 1 September. Selected industry participants demonstrations/experiments are contingent upon spectrum and safety approvals. White Paper Submissions are not restricted in any way to a particular entity. Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses, are encouraged to participate. This announcement is open to companies who have a capability to detect, identify, track, or to negate sUAS with non-kinetic effects. Industry participants who responded to the N0017817Q3026 special notice are encouraged to submit a follow-on response to this announcement to participate in this event. However, it is not a required to have responded to that announcement. Participants will be prioritized by alignment of capabilities to the C-sUAS mission and the venue; capacity of the venue and the coordination team, logistic requirements, risk, safety, Government, Academic, SETA contractors, and other Industry participants will be in attendance. It will be industries responsibility to protect their intellectual property during the event. This Notice is NOT a solicitation for proposals or quotations. The purpose of this Notice is to invite industry, academia, and Government R&D organizations to demonstrate innovative operational concepts, non-developmental technologies, and/or engineering innovations that provide cost-effective alternatives that enhance the may enhance the capability to protect against hostile sUAS.
