Performance Work Statement

Strategic Maritime and Logistics Intelligence Resource In Support of US Fleet Forces MDA and USFF NCAGS

1. Scope:

USFFC Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and Reserve capability Naval Cooperation and Guidance for Shipping (NCAGS) require a multi-source maritime fusion and maritime trade analytic resource that is web-based, non-classified, non-PKI commercial maritime information to provide near-real time, relevant and reliable data and information pertaining to the commercial maritime industry and provided by the commercial industry. Required data and information should be included but is not limited to Section 2 below.

United States Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) N3 Maritime Domain Awareness, provides 24/7/365 support to the Fleet Command Center Battle Watch, Navy Fleet assets, United States Northern Command, and interagency partners. Our focus is behavioral and predictive analysis of information and data pertaining to vessels, people, cargo, infrastructure and events in the maritime domain.

Naval Cooperation and Guidance for Shipping (NCAGS) program, a critical component of the Navy’s Maritime Domain Awareness and global maritime security mission. This investment enables the training, readiness, and operational development of 192 Navy Reservists who provide specialized expertise in integrating commercial shipping considerations into military operations and maintaining awareness of global maritime activity. Through this funding, NCAGS personnel will enhance their ability to monitor, analyze, and communicate maritime information, strengthening the Navy’s capacity to support fleet operations, protect critical sea lines of communication, and coordinate with commercial maritime stakeholders during peacetime, crisis response, and contingency operations. The funding directly contributes to sustaining a highly trained reserve force capable of delivering strategic maritime awareness and supporting national defense objectives in an increasingly complex global operating environment.
