ADVANCED AEROSPACE WEAPON SYSTEM APPLICATIONS PROGRAM - Solicitation Number: HHM40208R0211

This document is a combined synopsis and solicitation issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP). The solicitation, numbered HHM40208R0211, was posted on August 18, 2008, and sought proposals for engineering services to support the DIA in assessing foreign aerospace threats and technologies. The program's objective was to leverage the DIA's acquisition process to provide oversight and produce projections regarding future threat environments, specifically focusing on physics and engineering applications through the year 2050. The scope of work required the contractor to conduct technical studies in twelve specific areas, including lift, propulsion, control, power generation, spatial/temporal translation, materials, configuration, structure, signature reduction, human interface, human effects, and armament (RF and DEW). The contractor was expected to provide a team with extensive experience in breakthrough aerospace research. The contract was structured as a firm fixed-price contract with a base year and four one-year options, spanning from September 29, 2008, through September 30, 2013. The solicitation also outlined security requirements, noting that while Top Secret facility clearance was initially requested, an amendment later clarified that such clearance was not required at contract inception, though it must be obtained as soon as possible during the initial year. The document includes administrative details regarding the solicitation process, points of contact, and amendments to the original request.
