Request for Solutions Joint Standard Instrumentation Suite Missile Attitude Subsystem (JMAS)
1.0 Purpose
This Request for Solutions (RFS) is issued to locate capable vendors with the ability to deliver a unique solution for the Joint Standard Instrumentation Suite Missile Attitude Subsystem (JMAS) requirement presented below. The Government will evaluate the solutions with the intent of awarding an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) in accordance with 10 U.S. Code § 2371b.
2.0 Summary and Background
The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks to develop a prototype with enhanced capability to provide 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) attitude data solution (absolute X,Y,Z position, pitch angle, yaw angle, roll) for man portable air defense systems (MANPADS) or track mounted infrared (IR) guided missile while in flight from launch point (0 meters downrange) to a stationary target point against the natural test area background. This solution will also include the corresponding pitch angle and yaw angle of the missile plume.
MANPADS employing infrared seekers are the single biggest threat facing slow-moving, low-flying rotary wing and fixed wing platforms. To counter the prevalent MANPADS and related track mounted IR guided missile threat, the Services are developing autonomous infrared countermeasure (IRCM) systems for installation on several helicopter platforms as well as large aircraft platforms. Advances in ground truth data collection are needed to improve the modeling and simulation of MANPADS and other threats - missile attitude being the most critical need.
The full RFS can be viewed on the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) website, located at the following link: https://trainingaccelerator.org/2018/01/jmas-rfs
In accordance with 10 U.S. Code § 2371b, an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) has been awarded on May 17, 2018 under the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) for the Joint Standard Instrumentation Suite Missile Attitude Subsystem (JMAS). The JMAS prototype project was awarded to Photo-Sonics, Inc. located in Chatsworth, CA in the amount of $15215871 for all phases of effort.
