AIR FORCE

Xilinx Inc., San Jose, Calif., is being awarded a $23,424,000 firm-fixed-price contract. This action provides for research and development to produce a radiation hardened by (RHBD) implementation of a fully functional multi-million gate single-event effects immune reconfigurable field-programmable ate array (FPGA) (SIRF) by introducing radiation hardening within their existing architecture and design methodology. This implementation is to be based on Xilinx newly released Virtex-5 family of FPGA’s using the latest 65 nm technology. The proposed effort involves research of the individual logic blocks that comprise the FPGA to determine susceptible elements and migrate against single effects (SEU). Radiation hardening of Xilinx’s SIRF Virtex-5 will provide the Government with architecture that potentially eliminates the need for multiple redundant instantiations and voting, and allow system developers greater flexibility in space and missile applications. The resulting FPGA would be targeted to meet strategic military and space requirements for reconfigurable, radiation performance, power consumption, and to the maximum extent possible, would be extensible to future FPGA technology generations. At this time, $2,137,600 have been obligated. Solicitations began November 2006 and negotiations were complete May 2007. This work will be complete September 2010. Air Force Research Laboratory, Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., is the contracting activity (FA9453-07-C-0178).

Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corp., Mission Systems, Missile Defense Division, San Bernardino, Calif., is being awarded an $8,676,462 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. This contractor will provide the following: (1) delivery vehicle parametric design study, (2) mission/program planning study. The USAF is investigating a concept for a conventional ballistic missile capable of destroying targets at global range in less than one hour flight time. The study parameters make use of a Minotaur launch vehicle and a delivery vehicle designed to carry and dispense multiple BLU-108B/B sensor fused weapons to the target area. The maximum use of existing system elements is intended to reduce the cost and development risk associated with a future acquisition. At this time, $8,050,000 have been obligated. Solicitations began April 2007 and negotiations were complete May 2007. This work will be complete June 2009. Headquarters Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif., is the contracting activity (FA8814-07-C-0005).
