To provide viable military options to the COCOMS, theAir Force Research Laboratory, Directed Energy Directorate�s High Power MicrowaveDivision (AFRL/RDH) is seeking to develop and demonstrate the capability andoperational utility of a high power microwave (HPM) aerial demonstrator.The objective of this effort is to develop, test, and demonstrate a multi-shot and multi-target aerial HPM demonstrator that is capable of degrading, damaging, or destroyingelectronic systems. For this effort, the contractor shall develop a compact HPM payloadfor integration into an aerial platform. The contractor shall produce five aerialdemonstrators. One aerial platform without the HPM source shall be developed for aflight test to demonstrate delivery, controllability, and fuzing. The remaining four aerialplatforms with the integrated HPM source shall be developed for flight testing,demonstration, and HPM effects tests. Of the four HPM prototypes, one shall be used forground tests, two shall be used for flight tests, and the remaining one shall be used as aback-up for the flight test.This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) describing the research area of interestfor the CHAMP JCTD program. A single award contract is anticipated with a 36-monthtechnical effort/period of performance.PROPOSAL DUE DATE AND TIME: Proposals are due 15 Jan 2009 12:00 noon,Mountain Standard Time (MST).
