This sources sought is for potential sources to provide upgrade, redesign, and operation of the current Launch Test Complex (LTC) at China Lake, CA, to include site re-activation, test and evaluation, support to enable fielding or deployment, as well as upgrade, design and fabricate a Test Payload Tube (TPT), Launch Test Stand (LTS), Launch Test Vehicle(s) (LTV), Advanced Payload Module (APM), Cross Flow (CF) Simulator and Control and Data Acquisition Next Generation (CDAS-NG). The upgraded LTC, now referred to as the Air Launch Test (ALT) complex, will provide the air launch testing/capability to support the CPS program. This requirement is to also provide conceptual design and operation of an Under Water Test (UWT) complex (ULTC), which will include estimated costs, technology maturity and estimates on build schedules. This data will be the updated basis for Government trade studies, or parametric cost estimates for the UWT complex. The ALT and ULT complex will not only aide in the conceptual design of a new weapons system, through qualification of hardware, various components and systems, but will also provide risk mitigation for the testing of the new weapons system on a ship, submarine, aircraft, and land to achieve the hypersonic capability as directed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).
