This task order contract provides flight control and simulation engineering support to the government for the flight test office of the CEV orion program. Engineering activities performed under this task order contract supports traceability of mission requirements to system design and the as built configuration; design, implementation and refinement of controller strategies; development and checkout of specific simulations; development and review of test plans and procedures; system integration and test execution support; and the support of verification and validation tests. These engineering activities may be applied against software and systems in the flight control and simulation disciplines. The work location for the engineering tasks will be identified in separate task orders, but will predominately be conducted at the contractor's specified work site and dryden flight research center. This task is intended to provide flight controls, simulation, and testing support to the government for the flight test office CEV orion program activities. To provide support under this contract, the following set of activities (along with associated dates) is requested: 1) support flight test article (FTA) GNC design activities (present - FY09) a. Support working group activities B. Support TIM and PTR level reviews C. Conduct trade studies on GNC development 2) simulation analysis (present - FY08) a.
