AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge(U) AMTC-19-02:

(U) Prototype: The expected prototype deliverable(s) are to be material(s) that deliver Embedded GlobalPosition/Inertial Navigation (EGI) system performance. Materials delivered should include Inertial MeasurementUnit (IMU), Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, processors, housing unit, backplane/sufficient data transfercapability, and software that drives Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions.

(U) Requirement: The Government is seeking proposals for a single system design agent. The system design agent will be referred as the Project Agreement Holder (PAH) throughout this document. The PAH will be required to solicit, evaluate and manage a specific extent of diverse expert design teams from Government, Industry and Academia. The teams will participate in the development of an Open Architecture (OA), for a Positioning, Navigation & Timing (PNT) prototype that maximizes the ability to incorporate new technology and/or alternative PNT solutions in a timely and affordable fashion to defeat evolving PNT threats. This prototype will be considered for the Resilient Embedded Global Positioning/Inertial Navigation (GPS/INS) (R-EGI) System Program.

The effort will be targeted at demonstrating and evolving the PNT architecture through instantiation in a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) based on the EGI and EGI-Modernized (EGI-M) systems designed to support a Joint Armed Forces program. This ORD covers a 12 month period of performance for generation of a Government Reference Architecture (GRA) and proof-of-concept prototypes utilizing a “Best of Breed” competitive process.

AMTC 19-02 REQUIREMENT #:AV-002


KEY CHALLENGES AND ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE

- EGIs are typically closed off by the owning vendor making it very difficult to introduce new technology in a timely manner.

- Technology is more software drive than hardware driven now. This prototyping effort should evaluate/use open system architectures to the largest possible extent.

- Attributes that allow for quick insertion of technology should be developed to either speed or eliminate certification process later on.

- Develop procedures that allow for the protection of intellectual property and data rights while still allowing for quick adaptation and third party development in the prototype.

- Technical Data Packages should be detailed enough that a separate entity could reproduce the prototype with no oversight from the original developer.

- Proposers should identify any capabilities that are lacking or needed in order to accomplish their submission.

- Proposers need to be able to have flexibility to provide deliverables needed. Government has suggested a number of deliverables but that can change based on progress.

KEY CHALLENGES AND ADDITIONALGUIDANCE

• Looking for relatively mature technologies (past proof of concept). Previous demonstrations of concepts and technologies should be noted. • Example hypersonic HWIL Items Required:

÷ Flight Motion Simulator: designed for high dynamic motion÷ Collimator: Narrows a beam of particles or waves. ÷ Scene Projector Array: Infrared and RF sources÷ Scene Projector: Produce high definition dynamic IR/RF scenes ÷ Scene Generator: Computer model that creates a world representation using phenomenology, physics, and

behavioral models, to achieve a useful rendition of the domain of interest. ÷ RT 6-DoF Simulation: Change position as forward/backward (surge), up/down (heave), left/right (sway)

translation in three perpendicular axes, combined with changes in orientation through rotation about three perpendicular axes, often termed yaw (normal axis), pitch (lateral axis), and roll (longitudinal axis).

÷ Facility Control: Controls the hypersonic HWIL and collects data• Concepts/ideas proposed need to be supported with a some level of experience in designing/developing hypersonic HWIL capabilities in support of AMRDEC customers (current or potential). • Proposal evaluation criteria includes past performance, technical capabilities, overall concept, schedule, cost, etc.• Proposers should identify any capabilities that are lacking or needed in order to accomplish their submission. • Proposers need to be able to have flexibility to provide concepts/capabilities needed. Government has suggested a number of hypersonic HWIL component capabilities but that can change based on each program. Note, some as specified in associated classified documents. • Funding will be sourced from AMRDEC customers to support programs at Army PEO’s, MDA, SMDC, INSCOM, OGA’s, etc.

BACKGROUND

Hypersonics is an emerging technology that has recently been designated as one of the top priorities across many organizations in the US Department of Defense.• Dr. Michael Griffin, Undersecretary of Defense for Research and

Engineering recently described the development of hypersonic weapons as “the Highest Technical Priority” and everyone must understand the “Sense of Urgency” in developing, maturing and fielding this capability.

• Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) and seeker window design solutions for highly maneuverable hypersonic missile systems provide enabling capability to meet target lethality requirements while providing systemsurvivability.

45

ANTICIPATED CHALLENGES ANDADDITIONAL GUIDANCE

Hypersonic missile system requirements present significant design and manufacturing challenges• High enthalpy flow fields

• Highly transient large thermal gradients

• High dynamic pressure environments

• Extreme aerodynamic loads (g-loads) for survivability

• Long duration thermal soak

• Potential for self emission on windows

• Severe attachment induced thermostructural loads for windows

• Weather encounter and system survivability

• Manufacturing and assembly challenges for missile systems

• Looking at minimum starting TRL/MRL 4 with and ending TRL/MRL 7-9

46

TECHNOLOGY MATURATION PROCESS

47

SUMMARY

• The U.S. Army has been conducting research and development on hypersonic missile systems representing significant challenges to existing state of the art in thermal protection systems and seeker windows

• The design challenges require rigorous characterization of flight environments as well as the anticipated physics based effect on material thermodynamic response

• Coupled to any TPS/seeker window development is the requirement to conduct adequate ground testing and boundary condition characterization to develop flight design models

• Manufacturability and assembly/integration represent key challenges which must be addressed in parallel to any technology development

• Flight test and evaluation is the objective for transitioning technology to the warfighter
