Description

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION



INTRODUCTION:

The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) Project Manager for Cyber, Test & Training (CT2) Instrumentation Management Office (IMO) has a requirement to support the acquisition of testing and simulation capabilities for Department of Defense (DoD) facilities. The Large Blast/Thermal Simulator (LB/TS) test facility, located in the northern section of White Sands Missile Range, is a semicircular tunnel ten meters in radius that can generate simulated blast overpressure and thermal radiation environments produced by nuclear weapon detonations. Test assets secured within the LB/TS test chamber are subjected to these thermal and overpressure waveforms. It has been determined that a combined Airflow and Dust capability coupled with nuclear thermal and air blast effects is needed to better simulate the nuclear threat environment likely to be incident upon cruise missile weapons systems.

PROGRAM BACKGROUND:

The Department of Defense-s nuclear weapons effects (NWE) testing capability was severely curtailed when the United States ceased underground nuclear testing in the early 1990s. This loss of capability, while marginally acceptable for legacy systems to that date, left the DoD with reduced ability...
