Performance Work Statement (PWS)

SLV Analysis Support for DAC EOVAF (FOUO) C.1 Background

Services shall be provided to the Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Data and Analysis Center’s (DAC) Electro-Optical Vulnerability Analysis Facility (EOVAF) and the Experimental Support Branch’s Signature Group. The EOVAF is responsible for the performance of laser vulnerability evaluations of US Army optical and electro-optical systems. The Signature Group is responsible for the performance of calibrated electro-optical (EO) signature measurements of military targets to include missiles (launches and intercepts), aircraft, UAVs, and ground vehicles. This is a follow-on effort to contract W911QX-15-F-0053. EOVAF maintains primary mission analysis of the survivability, lethality and vulnerability (SLV) of Army systems. Input for the SLV analyses is derived from laboratory and field experiments as well as modeling and simulations. Through the SLV analyses, EOVAF assists Product/Program Managers (PM) in enhancing system and soldier survivability/lethality. Results of EOVAF’s SLV analysis efforts, including effects of electronic warfare (EW) such as directed energy are provided to the PM, Department of the Army decision makers, and Independent Evaluators.

C.2 Objective
