AI Contract Overview

The contract modification with Mission Research Corporation (MRC) involves transitioning a sophisticated earth-solar wind interaction modeling code, originally derived from high-altitude nuclear phenomenology prediction tools, from the DTRA's current CRAY computer system to a highly scalable, massively parallel processing platform. This migration is essential to enhance the efficiency and rapid prediction capabilities of the code, which is crucial for ongoing development and application within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's computational resources. The work capitalizes on MRC's unique expertise and prior development efforts in this specialized area, ensuring continuity and advancement of this critical modeling capability. The contract modification is being considered as a sole source negotiation under contract number DTRA01-00-C-0009, with an estimated value of $990,000. The effort aligns with the agency’s objective to leverage high-performance computing for improved scientific modeling and simulation pertinent to defense-related research. The work is administered by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, based in Fort Belvoir, VA, reflecting their focus on cutting-edge technological solutions to defense challenges.

Full Description

NA DTRA is contemplating issuing a negotiated Sole Source modification to Contract DTRA01-00-C-0009 with Mission Research Corporation (MRC) to add additional work. The proposed work is based on unique capabilities developed by MRC in their detailed modeling of the earth-solar wind interaction using concepts originally developed in detailed high altitude nuclear phenomenology prediction codes (ISM). This code currently is being developed on the DTRA CRAY computer. Continuation of this development in an effic ient manner and proper utilization of the code in a rapid prediction mode will require that the code migrate from the CRAY to an HPC massively parallel processor computer. The proposed work statement involves the means of this migration. The estimated doll ar value of this action is $990,000.00.
