Submittal of draft papers must be four (4) business days in advance of prescribed completion date established by the Government to allow for branch/division chief and executive reviews.

Travel for airfield or seaport site survey visits, and GCC posture conferences or other posture steering committee engagements may be required to support this task. The contractor shall provide nodal reports within ten (10) calendar weeks after scheduled visit;

quick-look (non-travel) nodal assessments within two (2) calendar weeks of government request.

1.3.4.5 Task 4.5: Future Deployment and Distribution Assessment (FDDA). The Future Deployment and Distribution Assessment (FDDA) is a research and analysis effort intended to assess and catalog needed deployment and distribution capabilities and technologies of interest in the extended planning period-the year 2025 and beyond.

JDPAC leads the FDDA at the behest of the Commander, USTRANSCOM in support of the entire JDDE. The contractor shall conduct the next iteration of the FDDA and populate the FDDA DISA DEPS, both NIPR/SIPR sites, to serve as the FDDA single point of insights, observations and recommendations in documents/briefings and papers. The contractor shall coordinate with industry, academia, and Government to gather, research, analyze information/data he JDDE capability gap catalog and the catalog of JDDE-related initiatives. The contractor shall build upon the foundation established in previous iterations of FDDA. The contractor shall (1) conduct research on initiatives and concepts, (2) perform computational examination, parametric analysis, and/or modeling, (3) map the results to the capability gaps to determine the merits of each initiative or concept, and (4) compile results, observations, and recommendations and present them in a published report and in one or more executive briefings. The contractor shall develop input to influence, support, integrate, inform other CBAs, strategies, concepts, doctrine, war games/exercises/joint experimentation, plans and other functional areas, based on the results of the assessment. The contractor shall integrate the FDDA, developing briefings, papers, and other type products other required to inform audiences (i.e., DOD, other Government agencies, industry,) about FDDA. This integration may include scheduling and attending meetings, presenting briefings, and occasional travel. The contractor shall provide updates to the Study Director at least quarterly or more frequently per Government request. The contractor shall submit a briefing at least two (2) business days prior to the update. Each FDDA iteration will have a study timeline, and the contractor shall submit FDDA products IAW the study timeline. For each Senior Leader IPR (i.e., TCCC, TCDC, TCAC Director), final briefings and supporting materials will be submitted

Page 15 of 90 JDPAC DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS SUPPORT V at least three (3) business days prior to the event. Appropriate pre-briefings will be accomplished at the discretion of the Study Director. The contractor shall develop an After- Action/Lessons-Learned Report within thirty (30) calendar days after a final Assessment Report is published capturing information not appropriate for the Assessment Report but necessary to set the conditions for future iterations of the FDDA.

1.3.4.6 Task 4.6: FDDA Synchronization/Maintenance. The contractor shall participate, as required, in forums, seminars, workgroups, meetings, and conferences to present/discuss FDDA through briefings or represent findings from earlier iterations of study. The contractor will update the "FDDA 101" brief quarterly and prepare correspondence to orient new personnel in the community of interest on the FDDA process, the study iterations, and the major findings. The contractor shall assess ongoing developments in technologies, concepts, and strategic guidance to determine the impact on recommended actions from previous FDDA studies, their relevance to the current iteration of study, or to shape future iterations of work.
