STATEMENT OF WORK-SECTION C

C-1

Introduction The FAA has transitioned several training courses, including Mathematics Refresher, Building Environmental Concepts, Antenna & Transmission Lines, Advanced Antenna & Transmission Lines, and Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) Concepts to self-paced distance learning. These courses are designed to equip new hires with foundational knowledge, ensuring their success in future equipment courses.

With this shift to distance learning, the FAA requires on-demand tutoring support for Mathematics Refresher, Environmental Concepts, Antennas & Transmission Lines, Advanced Antennas & Transmission Lines and Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) Concepts. Additionally, there may be a need to incorporate on-demand tutoring support for more courses as the need arises.

1. Scope Contract resources are required to provide support for Airway Transportation System Specialists (ATSS) training. The FAA requires online tutoring for a variety of distance learning courses. The tutoring services will assist ATSS in relearning and understanding the mathematics principles and applications necessary to successfully complete the Mathematics Refresher course (64 hours), Building Environmental Concepts course (64 hours), Antenna & Transmission Lines course (80 hours), Advanced Antenna & Transmission Lines (112 hours) course, and ILS Concepts course (40 hours). These courses will provide the ATSS with the foundational and conceptual knowledge needed to succeed in their follow-on equipment courses and job duties.

2. Audience The ATSS position requires successful completion of two years of study above high school that includes at least twelve semester hours in engineering, physical science, technology, or mathematics. At least six hours must be in electronics courses. Alternatively, an entry-level technician may have one year of work experience with at least six months of specialized work experience as a technician, instructor, inspector, or mechanic in a civilian or military setting.

The estimated target audience for tutoring support is expected to be comprised of approximately 2800 newly hired full-time employees over a three year timeframe for the ATSS Technician job series.

3. Government Furnished Information The FAA will provide the following information to the contractor to facilitate this task:

Name Description Mathematics Refresher This course is for New Hire Specialists, Engineers, support, and developmental personnel. The course is 64 hours eLearning/WBT. This entire course is considered math-intensive involving calculations in algebra, trigonometry, periodic waves, and phasor analysis, and logarithms and DB. Calculations are performed and used in examples throughout the student guide using a TI-36X scientific calculator. Review questions are provided at the end of each

C-2 lesson to assist the student in determining if they have gained the knowledge needed before proceeding to the next lesson. A formula sheet and additional practice problems are provided in the appendices of the student guide. Students will need a scientific calculator for solving math problems.

Antennas and Transmission Lines

This is an 80-hour self-paced Blackboard training course.

This course is for specialists, support, and developmental personnel. Subjects include Transmission Line Theory, Standing Wave Pattern, Transmission Line Impedance, Quarter-Wavelength Transformers, Single-stub Impedance Matching, Balance-to-Unbalance Transformations, Transmission Line Bridges, Antenna Pairs with Equal Antenna Currents, Antenna Pairs with Unequal Antenna Currents, Specific Antenna Pairs, and Multiple Antenna Pairs and the Image Antenna.

Advanced Antennas and Transmission Lines

This course is for specialists, engineers, and technical support personnel. The purpose of this course is to provide training on Antennas &Transmission Lines theory and fundamentals with a focus on application to navigation and landing systems. The fundamental equations behind these concepts will be introduced and applied in practice problems so students may gain a working familiarity with these equations and associated job-related mathematical manipulations. Since this will be a concept course, the objective is to transfer job-essential knowledge to students as opposed to training for performing a particular skill.

Subjects include: Transmission Line Theory, Standing Wave Patterns, Transmission Line Impedance, Transmission Lines with Loss, Quarter Wavelength Transformers, Single-Stub Impedence Matching, Balance-to-Unbalance Transformations, Transmission Line Bridges, Isotropic and Practical Antennas, Electromagnetic Waves, Radiation Patterns, Antenna Current, Radiation from Two Antennas, Antenna Pairs with Equal Current, Effect of Changing Antenna Phase, Locating Critical Points, Unequal Antenna Currents, Specific In-Phase (SIP) Antenna Pairs, Specifically Oppositely-Phased (SOP) Antenna Pairs, and Multi-Element Antenna Arrays. The course is math intensive involving algebra, geometry, and trigonometry (electronics theory mathematics).

Environmental Concepts

This course is for technical operations specialists, support, and developmental personnel. The course is 64 hours online eLMS instruction consisting of 15 hours of video lecture,

42.5 hours for self-study, and 6.5 hours for testing. The course is broken into three blocks: DC, AC, and Solid State/Digital. Topics covered include: Ohm's and

C-3

Kirchhoff's laws; parallel and compound circuits; AC sine wave and power characteristics; AC generator theory;

harmonics and transformer characteristics; rectification, filtering and regulation; and basic semiconductor theory.

Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) Concepts

This course provides training for Technicians and Developmental Technicians on Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) Theory. Lecture subjects include general ILS theory, glide slope theory, and localizer theory. Laboratory subjects include radiation pattern analysis, equipment adjustments, and ILS test equipment. The learner must be proficient in basic algebra and trigonometry, as well as performing computations on a scientific calculator. Calculations are performed and used in examples throughout the student guide using a scientific calculator.

4. Requirements One-on-one tutoring support is required to aid students in passing the Mathematics Refresher course, Antennas and Transmission lines course, Advanced Antennas and Transmission lines course, Environmental Concepts course and Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) Concepts course.

Additionally, there may be a need to incorporate on-demand tutoring support for more courses as the need arises. A sample of formulas and problems that tutors may be required to assist with depending on the class they are supporting is provided for information purposes as Attachment J.1 to this SOW.

This support must be conducted through an online format where tutors can teach students based on course materials provided by students uploading information by typing, drawing, by photo, or by uploading a document in multiple formats (.pdf, .rtf, .doc, .xls, .jpg, .ppt, etc.). The FAA has a large geographic footprint and requires tutoring support to be available Monday through Friday, 0700-1530 Central time, excluding Federal Holidays. The FAA has a few remote locations, Alaska and Guam, which will require the contractor to make time adjustments for support. The contractor must provide the option to request a specific tutor time and the option to request the same tutor if an employee needs additional support. Tutoring support will be needed for up to an hour on each session. Any additional time needed by the employee will need to be scheduled.

Student throughput is projected to be 2800 new hires over a three year timeframe, each new hire potentially requiring four hours of tutoring per distance learning course. The Contractor must provide the necessary qualified personnel and materials to provide tutoring support to the Technical Training organization. Furthermore, the Contractor must be able to support a maximum of 20 FAA users simultaneously, immediately upon award during each contract year.

Tutoring sessions must be open for up to 60 minutes per session. Sessions must be conducted through an online web-based format where students can connect with instructors through a computer tablet, or cell phone using Android or iOS operating systems. Online workspaces must allow students and tutors to upload documents via a file share while in the session in any common format and allow information to be entered by means of typing or drawing. Text and voice support must be available for students and tutors to connect and must be in compliance

C-4 with the Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d). Tutoring sessions must be recorded and archived by the vendor in video and PDF formats for student to refer to after completing a session. The vendor must retain the sessions for two years. Students must be able to choose specific tutors or be matched with a tutor that best fits the subject matter.

The learner must be given the opportunity to rate the tutor when they are finished with the tutoring service and at the end of each tutoring session. The vendor must be able to provide feedback about transfer of knowledge, change in learner performance, and recommendations for learner success. The format of these evaluations is at the recommendation of the vendor, but must be approved by the FAA. The vendor must provide an administrative web page or monthly report to the FAA’s program administrator, to include student usage, feedback from tutors and session length.

Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section

5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.

(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications: Verifying old digital signatures and time

H-2 stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.
