STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1.0 Background

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Full Spectrum Undersea Warfare Innovative Naval Prototype is working on developing novel systems for shipboard use. One of these efforts is developing new transducer technology to support Fleet requirements. ONR has tasked the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) to develop electronics to support these new transducers under development.

1.1 Places of Performance: Contractor’s Facility

1.2 Authorized Users: Code 85

1.3 Sponsors: Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport Code 8544 in conjunction with Office of Naval Research, is the Program Management Office for this effort.

1.4 Types of Funding: Research and Development, Navy (RDTE,N)

2.0 Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for the contractor to provide engineering evaluation, modeling and simulation (M&S), and prototype development. The contractor shall evaluate two in-progress transducer designs and develop a supporting custom electronics board, including all required software and firmware, compliant with the performance parameters defined in Applicable Document (AD) 3.1. The culmination of this effort will yield a conceptual-level Technical Data Package (TDP) and source code to enable initial Government printed circuit board (PCB) prototyping and integration.

3.0 Applicable Documents

The contractor shall perform the tasking required in Section 4.0 in accordance with (IAW) the below Applicable Documents (ADs).
