SUBJECT: Statement of Work (SOW) Flight Systems Communications Upgrade (FSCU) for 100 OSS support of all RAF Mildenhall United Kingdom (UK) flying missions.

1. INTRODUCTION. This SOW defines the requirement for the Contractor to Engineer, Furnish, Install and Test (EFI&T) into service, an upgrade to the 100 OSS/OSA telecommunications interfaces for radio, voice, and data requirements. This effort shall be known as the FSCU. This project shall replace the existing manufacturer discontinued Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Charles Channel Banks with a new fiber optic transmission systems (FOTS). A separate portion of this project shall also require the Contractor to EFI&T equipment to convert the current Primary Crash Network (PCN) drops from current Copper Cable Outside Plant (OSP) connectivity to Fiber Optic OSP Connections. This shall be known as the PCN Upgrade (PCNU). The FSCU shall be for a total of Seven (7) Facilities. See Table 1 for locations and requirements (Paragraph 3.3.

for the PCNU). The Instrument Landing System (ILS) shelters consist of the Localizers (Loc) and Glideslopes (GS). The Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) is also on the Flight Line. All future references to Government Furnished Equipment shall be reflected as (GFE). All locations are on RAF Mildenhall, UK except for one of the PCNU drops which is at the RAF Lakenheath Hospital’s Emergency Room.
