Special Notice for the Prototype Propagation and Clutter Model Project with the National Spectrum Consortium

The Special Notice announces a Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP) issued by Advanced Technology International, operating as SCRA Applied R&D, on behalf of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Emerging Capabilities and Prototyping, in collaboration with the Department of Defense Chief Information Office. The RPP seeks the development of prototype clutter loss models designed to supplement standard terrain-dependent propagation loss models with additive effects, along with their implementation in related algorithms. This initiative targets members of the National Spectrum Consortium (NSC) and other interested parties within the U.S. technology sector, requiring non-NSC participants to join the consortium to submit proposals. All relevant information is available through the NSC website, and inquiries should be directed to the identified SCRA Applied R&D contact. The solicitation, identified by number W15QKN-16-Z-05PV and posted on May 23, 2016, falls under the NAICS code 541330, indicating research and development services. The contracting office is located at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, managed by the Department of Defense under the office designation W6QK Acc-pica. The designated point of contact for this RPP is Kristen Kachur, reachable via email or phone. This effort underscores the Department of Defense’s commitment to advancing prototype technologies in electromagnetic propagation modeling to enhance emerging capabilities in defense applications.
