ADB Safegate ALCS Upgrade_PWS.pdf

Performance Work Statement (PWS)

Project: Turn-Key Upgrade for the Joint Base Charleston Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS)

1.0 BACKGROUND

The 628th Civil Engineering Squadron currently operates the ADB Safegate Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS) across two primary locations: the Main ALCS located on the Joint Base Charleston Air Base, and the North ALCS which services the North Field airfield. The core systems are running on legacy, End-of-Life Windows 10 (32-bit) operating systems and utilize unmanaged network switches. This configuration presents a cybersecurity risk and is not compliant with current Department of the Air Force security requirements. This project is a one-time technology modernization effort.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to upgrade the operating systems of the ALCS North and ALCS Main systems to a modern 64-bit architecture and replace the network hardware in order to enhance system performance, security, and long-term maintainability.
