1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This is a non-personal services Contract. The Government will neither supervise Contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. The Contractor shall manage its employees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (CO) immediately if they perceive any actions constitute personal services.

These services shall not be used to perform any inherently governmental functions.

1.2 BACKGROUND

1.2.1 This Performance Work Statement (PWS) addresses the United States Air Force (USAF), Mobile Sensors Program Office’s, (MSPO) (i.e., The Government), requirements for the operations and maintenance (O&M) of two (2) Mobile Radar Systems: COBRA KING, located on the United States Naval Ship (USNS) Howard O. Lorenzen (TAGM-25) and GRAY STAR, located on the USNS Invincible (TAGM-24). The O&M of the actual vessels and associated marine systems are the responsibility of the Military Sealift Command (MSC) and are not included in this Contract.

1.2.2 These radar systems are complex, multi-mission systems with elaborate command, control, computer, and communications interfaces and support sub-systems. They are forward deployed assets that do not have traditional “homeports” and do not visit, nor return to, US ports. COBRA KING primarily operates in the Pacific Command’s (PACOM) area of responsibility (AOR). GRAY STAR primarily operates in the Central Command’s (CENTCOM) AOR. Duties on board these platforms are demanding, with limited reach-back capability due to the distances involved and remoteness of operating locations.

1.2.3 These radars are required to be fully mission capable (FMC) 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, and capable of supporting mission operations on short-notice. However, they are not normally operated 24-hours per day. Radar operations are conducted in accordance with (IAW) mission requirements. These requirements vary according to mission objectives, timing of launch activities, and distance to support areas. Normally, radar operations are scheduled and conducted during a standard 8-hour work day, 5-days per week, but can extend up to 21-hours per day, over multiple days, and require flexibility on the Contractor’s part in scheduling support. Communications Center Operations, on all vessels, are required 24-hour per day, 7-days a week.

1.2.4 Every twelve months, COBRA KING conducts a maintenance period (sometimes referred to as Regular Overhaul (ROH) i.e. “shipyard”) of 60-days +/- 15-days, depending on complexity of work planned. These dedicated maintenance periods are used to perform major upgrades, marine maintenance, and inspections. GRAY STAR conducts an ROH every other year, along with Maintenance Repair Availability (MRA) periods of 10-15 days conducted every 5 months between ROH periods. Outside of these scheduled pier side availabilities, the vessels make routine port visits to refuel and replenish materials and supplies. These port visits are conducted as mission taskings allow and are of short duration; 3-5 days.

Attachment 1 PWS

FA7022-21-R-0002

1.2.5 COBRA KING consists of two (2) separate S- and X-Band phased array radars connected to a Common BackEnd (CBE) command and control computer system located in the Operations Control Center (OCC). Data is gathered against targets of interest, processed, and transmitted from an onboard Mission Communications Center (MCC). Both radars are capable of fully autonomous search, acquisition, tracking, and collecting of data on all objects in a multi-target complex. Both radars utilize multiple waveforms and bandwidths, providing data collection flexibility to suit the mission requirements. The S- Band radar consists of a phased-array antenna with 15,360 active elements called Transmit/Receive (T/R) modules, driven by 60 Multiple Sub-array Assemblies (MSA), and controlled by an Array Controller (AC) interface to the CBE. The S-Band transmit and receive electronics are located within the turret and consist of the Receive Antenna Manifold (RAM), the Transmit Antenna Manifold (TAM), the (Radio Frequency) RF Beam Former (BF), the AC, and the Receiver Exciter (REX). The X-Band turret consists of a phased-array antenna with 11,920 active elements, driven by 48 Sub-array Electronic Assemblies (SEA), and controlled by the Beam Steering Control (BSC) interfaced to the CBE computers. The X-band transmit and receive electronics are located within the turret and consist of a BSC and REX. Both the S-Band and the X-Band antenna turrets consist of elaborate servo systems, controlling numerous Azimuth/Elevation drive motors for instantaneous slew. In addition to the radars there are mission communications systems and other support systems necessary to accomplish the mission.

1.2.6 GRAY STAR is a dual-band (S&X), single dish, radar system. Search and acquisition are performed at S-Band, using the mechanical scanning 5-meter dish antenna. The S- Band radar uses four (4) Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT), while the X-Band radar uses one X-Band TWT. The TWTs are located in the Transmitter Control Center (TCC), along with the high voltage power supplies and transmitter control circuitry. Command and control of the radar is performed inside the Radar Instrumentation Center (RIC). The dish antenna is housed in a radome and uses a dual-band feed to transmit and receive both S and X-Band energy from a single dish antenna. The S- and X-Band system elements, together, produce a robust data collection system. Processed data collected with the radar is processed and sent through the Communications Center for transmission back to Continental United States (CONUS) mission partners for further processing and analysis.

1.3 SCOPE

The contractor shall accomplish the following services:

1.3.1 Operate the radars, communications, and support equipment on board all vessels, and for any replacement and additional sensors that may be developed during this contract period.
