The William J. Hughes Technical Center is performing a market survey to seek sources for a potential contract. At a minimum, the contractor must have ten years of the experience described below. If you feel that your company can meet these qualifications, please mail your capability statement to: FAA, knowledge of the work performed by SC-159, WG-4 from both a historical perspective and the status of the LAAS MASPS, MOPS, and ICD is mandatory. Also, a complete understanding of the recent changes to the MOPS and ICD and the subsequent affect to the LGF Specification, FAA-E-2937A, is critical. 2. The ability to understand and articulate the flow-down of requirements from the LAAS MASPS to the LGF specification, RTCA MOPS, and ICD is critical. This includes how allocations are made between the H0 and H1 Hypothesis stated in the MASPS and the allocation to ranging source faults, as found in the FAA-E-2937A. 3. The ability to relate MASPS, MOPS, ICD and LGF specification to ICAO Annex 10 SARPs is critical. 4. The ability to perform trade-off analysis in integrity and continuity requirements is critical. 5. An in-depth understanding of the FAA LAAS operational requirements and how they pertain to the flow-down of requirements to the LGF specification to support analysis of system safety, availability/reliability, continuity, and time-to-alarm. 6. The ability to evaluate manufacturers' proposed integrity algorithms and designs based on a working knowledge of the requirements is critical. 7. The ability to analyze the various integrity monitors identified for LAAS and address issues related to missed detection and prior probabilities as they apply to ranging source failures. EDITED: This is to clarify that it would create a conflict with any company that wishes to sell/market the same technology and they are (to reemphasize) going to be required to evaluate other manfuacturers' integrity algorithms, continuity analysis, etc., for the purposes of aiding the government in making decisions (including possibly traditional contract milestones such as PDR, CDR, etc., not to mention that any possible award will only be for part-time work of one senior level engineer who specializes in this specifically and possible part-time work of a junior level person.) William J. Hughes Technical Center, ATTN: ACX-51 (Cindy Hische), Atlantic City International Airport, Atlantic City, New Jersey 08405. You also may e-mail this information to [email protected]. No telephonic information will be given and no information will be given by the requiring activity. EDITED: The last day for receipt of proposals is March 10, 2006 at 4:00 P.M.
