R&D Survivability & Fire Protection Systems Development

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to issue a Sole Source IDIQ to Jensen Hughes to provide R&D Survivability & Fire Protection Systems Development. The scope of work includes research and development of fire extinguishing agents and delivery systems, fire hazard and vulnerability analysis, small-scale and large-scale fire testing, and firefighting doctrine development. The contractor will work closely with NRL engineers and scientists to develop new fire protection technology and evaluate fire extinguishing agents, hardware systems, and firefighting and damage control equipment. The contract will be for a period of 5 years, with a total value to be determined. • The contractor will conduct applied research and development studies to help solve current and future Navy problems in the field of combustion, fire modeling, fuels, personnel protection, and environmental hazards. • The contractor will evaluate and develop fire extinguishing agents and delivery systems, including the development of alternative fire extinguishing agent technologies for Class A, Class B, and Class D fire threats. • The contractor will conduct fire hazard and vulnerability assessments, including the use of fire and smoke modeling and simulation tools. • The contractor will conduct small-scale and large-scale fire testing to validate and quantify fire protection system performance and vulnerabilities. • The contractor will develop and validate new firefighting doctrine for DoD applications.
