1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1 Scope

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the work effort for the Contractor to train and qualify operators, maintainers, Maintenance Test Pilots (MTPs), support personnel, and other authorized personnel as necessary in the transition of operations necessary to effectively employ the AH-64E V6 (and any successor AH-64 version) configuration.

1.2 Background

On 8 September 2022, a Program Level Agreement (PLA) was signed between Product Manager Apache Production and Fielding, PM Apache, and Product Lead International Aviation, PEO STRI International Program Office. The background statement of that PLA states, “Based on direction received from PM Apache and Project Lead, PEO STRI, International Program Office, PM Apache NETT (New Equipment Training Team) will no longer provide Foreign Military Sales (FMS) New Equipment Training (NET).

Therefore, PEO STRI IPO will contract for and develop the AH-64E V6 Aircraft Series Transition Course (ASTC) Training and any unique NET specific AH-64E training “not covered by the Ft Rucker” transition course. This training will be Ft Rucker recognized Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Apache Aircraft Qualification Course (AQC) – (Unique NET Training).” The PLA further defined “the operational and support relationship between the Program Manager, Apache NETT and the Product Lead International Program, PdL, AVN Office for working relationships, roles, responsibilities, specific support requirements, information sharing, and points of contact for future actions and matters of coordination that supports FMS NETT only.”

In accordance with the PLA, this Performance Work Statement (PWS) has been issued to address the demands of New Equipment training for the AH-64E V6 aircraft and any successor sub-versions (e.g. V6.5 is a subversion but V7 is not), to include training of the operators, maintainers, maintenance test pilots, support personnel, and other personnel as necessary to enable effective operations. The task involves a variety of specialties, requirements, and deliverables consisting of hardware, software, information, programs of instruction, and training activities, which will vary across the operating environments, controlling nation militaries, and the evolution of capabilities from a pre-Apache aircraft basis to a transition from the most recent prior versions to the newest versions. This PWS is designed therefore to support multiple operating environments, transition and collective, specific country mission/tactical training, multiple nations, multiple device and service deliveries, and multiple AH-64 variants.

This PWS has also been established by following the formats and guidance of MIL-STD- 961E, Department of Defense Standard Practice, Defense and Program-Unique Specifications Format and Content, 2 April 2008, following the template and format beginning on page 1. This template has been chosen due to the potential for this PWS and its resulting contract to be used by multiple US Government (USG) and potentially foreign Government entities, and thus satisfies the need to apply broadly understood format and content bases throughout this contract.

CUI//SP-PROCURE//FEDCON

CUI//SP-PROCURE//FEDCON

This PWS has also been designed to provide a menu-based approach to the delivery of the needed items and services, such that each using entity, foreign or domestic, can rapidly understand the options available and secure rapid and accurate pricing, requirements, and deliveries through this menu.

AH-64E V6 identifies the Operational Flight Program (OFP) software build for the aircraft.

The AH-64E V6 consists of sub-versions ranging from AH-64E V6 through AH64E V6.9 and AH-64E V6.X, V6.X being the projected OFP software build for FMS customers. AH- 64E V6.5, a sub-version of AH-64E V6, is expected to be released during the performance of this contract and difference classes to V6.5 are included as part of this requirement.
