ATSP5 Full & Open Performance Work Statement

Vision Statement

The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) ATSP5 is a uniform technical and management approach that leverages advanced technologies to meet the requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD) for a quick reaction capability across the entire spectrum of technology development and system acquisition development phases.

1 Introduction

1.1 Mission

The DMEA mission is to leverage the capabilities and payoffs of advanced microelectronics technology to solve the warfighters operational problems in existing weapon systems, increase capabilities and reliability while reducing the effects of microelectronics obsolescence.

1.2 Scope

ATSP5 is a uniform technical and management approach that leverages advanced technologies to meet the requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD) for a quick reaction capability across the entire spectrum of technology development, acquisition, and long-term support. This capability includes the development of appropriate solutions to keep a system operational, elevate sophistication level, or meet new threats. These efforts may include developing components to meet the DoD’s requirements for ultra-low volumes, extending component availability, or ensuring a trusted, assured, and secure supply of microelectronics; also included will be the intelligent and rapid application of advanced technologies in new applications and to add needed performance enhancements to DoD weapon systems in response to traditional and irregular (asymmetric) threats and to the problems related to aging weapon systems. Increasing warfighter capabilities and providing solutions to support problems such as, reliability, maintainability and obsolescence are accomplished through the development and insertion of applications of advanced technologies. ATSP5 includes the use of state of the practice and/or legacy technologies to provide solutions. The scope of ATSP5 covers both hardware and software and includes studies, analysis, design, software, simulation, fabrication, prototyping, integration, testing, producibility, and extended limited production. The scope of ATSP5 also includes the development of viable methods and procedures for using available tools and resources, strategies for resolution of replacement alternatives, and technical interchange in support of task accomplishment.

1.2.1 Advanced Technology

Advanced technology is defined as "new state-of-the-art technologies, products and processes that are presently not widely used in mission critical systems as well as current state-of-the-practice microelectronics technologies, products and processes.” Advanced technology includes advanced microelectronics technologies and the evolutionary developments of microelectronics technologies such as submicron electronics, quantum electronics, spin electronics, 3D microelectronics, additive manufacturing-based microelectronics, nanoelectronics (nanotechnology), molecular electronics, biomolecular electronics, and advanced electronics manufacturing technologies.

Advanced technology engineering includes electronics hardware and software applications; software engineering/development; rapid prototyping of hardware and software; development of integrated toolsets and environments for design, fabrication, and test; process and manufacturing development; mechanical engineering and materials science when they enable performance of electronic systems; and the prototyping and extended limited production of both hardware and software. It includes the development of peculiar support equipment and an integration support capability for the products developed. Advanced technology engineering usually will result in performance improvements or a change in the performance envelope but can also be a form, fit, and/or function replacement.

1.2.2 Advanced Hardware and Software Systems

Advanced hardware and software systems are defined as stand-alone systems, integrated systems, embedded systems, and systems of systems (i.e. systems that integrate new or existing systems.) Included are all hardware and software design, development, testing, integration, and evaluation activities. Advanced hardware and software systems may use both current and advanced technologies, and include large-scale integrated systems, network enabled systems, trusted systems, cyber warfare systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence, Network-Centric Warfare systems (e.g., battlespace monitoring systems, battlespace management systems, C4ISR (command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems), and data fusion systems (e.g., weather data systems).

Advanced hardware and software systems engineering includes all hardware and software design, development, testing, integration, and evaluation activities, rapid prototyping of systems hardware and software, and the prototyping and limited production of systems. It includes the development of peculiar support equipment and an integration support capability for the systems developed.

1.2.3 Advanced Electronics Manufacturing Technologies

Advanced electronics manufacturing is defined as manufacturing systems, methods, procedures, materials, and processes that produce both current and advanced technology electronics. Advanced electronic manufacturing technologies include micromechanical technologies, microelectronic machining, and microelectromechanical systems along with other evolutionary technologies.

3 Performance Requirements

3.1 Perform Direct Engineering Activities

The ATSP5 contract includes all "direct engineering activities (e.g., studies, analysis, design, code, simulation, fabrication, packaging/assembly, prototyping, integration, installation, testing, and producibility). Direct engineering activities also include providing extended limited production, logistical support, training, and warranties. The ATSP5 contract also includes DMEA Engineering Environment Enhancement/Support as a "direct engineering activity.

3.1.1 Provide Extended Limited Production (ELP)

Extended limited production (ELP) will be ordered when the Government considers it advantageous to do so. Typically, the Government will order ELP to maintain program momentum and begin delivering units to the field without pause after development is complete; as an interim measure prior to the competition of follow-on production; or when determined to be more cost- or time-effective than follow-on production competition. ELP assists the Government in bridging the potentially lengthy gap between development and full production. Allowable quantities are based on a portion of total need and is determined on a case-by-case basis. Extended limited production is not considered follow-on production in the conventional sense. Extended limited production will be specified as required in each task order.

3.1.2 Provide Logistics Support

Logistics Support may be required for items, systems, methods, procedures, and processes when they are designed, developed, acquired, or provided on the ATSP5 contracts. Logistics support may occur during development and/or as a follow-on activity to development. Logistics support includes interim contractor support, extended engineering support, extended testing support, supplies, maintenance, repairs, material sustainment, operator training, and validation and correction of data, when the logistics support is ancillary to the task. Logistics support will be specified as required in each task order.

3.1.3 Provide Training

Training may be required for items, systems, methods, procedures, and processes when they are designed, developed, acquired, or provided on the ATSP5 contracts. Training includes the services, materials, and technical interchange used to instruct personnel to acquire sufficient concepts, skills and aptitudes to efficiently and safely operate and maintain the items, systems, methods, procedures, and processes. Training also includes vendor training, familiarization, and orientation. Training will be specified as required in each task order.

3.1.4 Provide Warranties

Warranties may be required for items, systems, methods, procedures and processes when they are designed, developed, acquired, or provided on the ATSP5 contracts. Warranties will be specified as required in each task order.
