The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization is soliciting White Papers for technology development and experiments to increase understanding and capabilities in the area of Kinetic Energy Boost Phase Missile Defense A kinetic energy boost phase elements mission is to intercept ballistic missiles prior to termination of powered flight This is the most desirable phase in which to engage a missile since the missile cannot release its warheads and other midcourse countermeasures until powered flight is complete At the end of this phase the missile is traveling as high as 15000 miles per hour making accurate timely interception a challenge Executing this mission also requires quick reaction times continuous monitoring and vigilance and high confidence in decisionmaking The objectives of the KE boost program are to identify and develop technology and to achieve a demonstration of the technical feasibility of intercepting primarily ICBMclass missiles in their boost phase by 2005 Innovative research approaches are being sought in the kinetic energy boost areas of 1 technology development and demonstration in the fundamental components of a boost defense element including sensors for early detect track and identification of the target advanced interceptors and interceptor subcomponents battle management command and control and weapons platforms and 2 critical experiments that characterize element attributes and timelines as well as demonstrate the feasibility of an effective kinetic energy boost phase concept Critical experiments will address space based concepts as well as other platforms Priority will be given to those ideas which most significantly increase our confidence that a capabilities based kinetic energy boost element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System can be deployed in the next decade DO NOT SUBMIT A PROPOSAL AT THIS TIME PROPOSALS WILL BE REQUESTED AND PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED TO OFFERORS WHO HAVE SUBMITTED A WHITE PAPER WHICH HAS RECEIVED A FAVORABLE EVALUATION INSTRUCTIONS TO PREPARE AND SUBMIT WHITE PAPERS FOLLOW WHITE PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE INFORMATIONAL BRIEFING DESCRIBED BELOW FROM 11 JANUARY 2002 AND ON THEY WILL BE EVALUATED AS THEY ARE RECEIVED All interested offerors capable of satisfying the Governments needs are required to submit three 3 copies of a 3 5 page 8 x 11 inch single spaced White Paper with a cover letter indicating whether the offeror is a foreign firm a large small womenowned small or small disadvantaged business or Historically Black College University or Minority Institution Foreign firm means a business entity owned or controlled by one or more foreign nationals or a business entity in which more than 50 percent of the stock is owned or controlled by one or more foreign nationals No topics have been set aside for small business Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions HBCUMI The white papers should be formatted as follows Section A Title Period of Performance Cost of Task Name of Company Section B Task Objective and Section C Technical Summary All responses to this announcement must be addressed to ATTN Mr Donald J Bobby Solicitation BAA0201 Ballistic Missile Defense Organization 7100 Defense Pentagon Washington DC 203017100 Multiple white papers within the purview of this announcement may be submitted by each offeror The purpose of the white paper is to preclude unwarranted effort on the part of an offeror whose proposed work is not of interest to the Government If there is sufficient interest in the white paper a formal technical and cost proposal will be requested Such invitation does not assure that the submitting organization will be awarded a contract Complete instructions for proposal preparation will be provided if and when a proposal is requested This announcement does not obligate the Governmen
