Enabling Technologies for High-speed Operable Systems (ETHOS)

Solicitation Number :

FA8650-17-S-2002

Notice Type :

Award

Synopsis :

The overall objective is to identify, develop, mature, and demonstrate technologies that enable refurbishable high speed (M>3) capability for intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance (ISR) and strike platforms by 2028, and for quick-turn fully reusable systems by 2035. The overall objective is to identify those technologies that support the critical path development of AFRL's research in the area of high speed systems. Relevant activities include basic, applied, and advanced research to develop, demonstrate, integrate, validate and transition new aerospace technologies. These technologies will enable cost effective, survivable aerospace vehicle platforms operating at Mach 3 and higher. A robust research and development effort may require the use of demonstration vehicles, ground test facilities, flight test facilities, computational studies and modeling, and/or laboratory experiments to develop, analyze, and assess aerospace vehicle system and subsystem performance.

* Please note: The Model Contract FA8650-17-S-2002 is not a Request for Proposal; the solicitation number is FA8650-17-S-2002.

This Amendment replaces the NAICS code for this effort with the current NAICS code of 541715. No other changes are made by this amendment. Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) - Two IDIQ contracts with a $10M shared ceiling are anticipated. Two initial Task Orders are planned for $200K each. The primary purpose of the program is to mature a preliminary Dual Mode Ramjet design to a critical design level, construct the DMRJ test article, and perform both direct connect (DC) and integrated free-jet testing. Design and develop state of the art solutions (components and architectures) pointed toward DMRJ integration. Proof of principal demonstrations to evaluate potential for residual testbed capability to develop critical path technology for advanced propulsion systems.
