For The Purchase Of

MQM-170, Remotely Piloted Vehicle Target (RPVT) the MQM-171 Unmanned Aircraft System – Target

(UAS-T) and the MQM-186 Group II Aerial Target

Systems and Services

1. Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) describes requirements for the manufacturing of MQM-170, Remotely

Piloted Vehicle Target (RPVT), the MQM-171, Unmanned Aircraft System Target (UAS-T), and the MQM-

186, Group II aerial target system also referred to as targets or aerial targets in accordance with assigned part numbers for the MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 aerial target systems. Requirements includes support services, related support equipment, mission payload system devices and training to be provided by the contractor in support of demonstrations, simulation and live fire training and testing at designated locations, installations, and ranges worldwide. In addition to manufacturing, flight operations and maintenance services, the contract includes requirements to provide system in-storage maintenance, equipment security, environmental protection, quality assurance, logistics services, automated systems management and data reporting, aerial scoring services and hardware for MQM-170, MQM-171, MQM-

168, and Aerial Target Flight Services (ATFS) requirements administered under a separate project managed by the Threat Systems Management Office (TSMO).

1.1 Background

Sub-scale aerial targets have been used for many years to provide air defense training and test support.

The Air and Missile Defense (AMD) community requires both the MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 Air

Vehicles (AV) that may be used for training in countering airborne threats at a reasonable cost. The U.S.

Army’s current, interim, and future forces must be prepared to counter asymmetric weapons such as long-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

Furthermore, rocket and mortar attacks are frequent occurrences at forward locations where U.S. Forces are deployed. The AMD community is working to field capabilities to counter these threats. Until these new AMD capabilities are fielded, the centerpiece tactical formation of Army transformation—the Brigade

Combat Team (BCT)—will rely on Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) weapons and small arms to defend itself against these types of asymmetric threats. The MQM-170 will permit live fire engagements by units equipped with the AVENGER, IM-SHORAD, and DE IM-SHORAD weapons system and provide, along with the MQM-171 and MQM-186, an expendable threat representation of a UAS for new emerging weapon system testing. The current MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 fixed-wing airframe designs have been demonstrated to satisfy these requirements. The MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 systems will be transported to and operated in varying environments worldwide. The MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-

186 systems will be operated during periods of daylight and darkness and in climatic conditions ranging from Hot-Dry to Cold-Wet. The products and services specified herein will be provided to support TSMO defined missions. Potential recipients of targets and/or services provided under this contract are all U.S.

Army Air Defense Artillery (ADA) and Air and Missile Defense (AMD) units, other Government agencies, 6 of 66 SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION – SEE FAR 3.104 and allies operating in locations around the world. The U.S. Army may elect to train other personnel to conduct their own flight services though most Army units and TSMO customers will be supported by

Contractor flight services and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) hardware. Other military services may elect to acquire targets and associated support equipment through this contract with varying levels of operational services and/or operational training. This SOW effort will continue the basic type of support provided under the previous contracts.

1.2 Project Objectives

The United States Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO

STRI), PM Cyber, Test, and Training (PM CT2), Threat Systems Management Office (TSMO) has a requirement to continue providing affordable aerial targets to the Army and other Service users, to support Training and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) missions at Department of

Defense ranges and other military installations worldwide. In addition to providing Army Air Defense

Artillery (ADA) training and the testing community with an aerial target and services support, TSMO will provide MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 AVs, related support and Mission Payload Equipment

(MPE), services and training to other customers including the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Foreign

Military Sales (FMS) cases. Army training missions, associated target configurations, and flight profiles are driven by DA PAM 350-38, Standards in Weapons Training, qualification tables and various Field Manuals for AMD weapon systems. Other guidance is found in AR 350-50, Combat Training Center Program, and

TC 25-8, Training Ranges. The MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 aerial targets are required to be reusable when not destroyed by live-fire. Ground control of AV and ground support equipment for the

MQM=170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 systems will be designed to support an anticipated five-year life cycle with minor repair and upkeep. The Government seeks to acquire manufacturing capabilities for

MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 AVs and support equipment as well as support services to operate the equipment. The contract includes provisions for all aspects of life cycle management. This SOW further provides engineering service capabilities for product improvements or modifications to meet

Government customers’ changing needs. The contract includes provisions to operate and maintain the target system and all Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) functions as detailed herein. Contract options will be used to provide the means to acquire self-help for unique situations. Simple, easy to implement commercial practices for maintenance, supply, training and system operational procedures similar to those used in the model airplane industry are encouraged.

The MQM-170 family of aerial targets, the MQM-171 family of aerial targets, and the MQM-186 Group II family of aerial targets have been proven capable of meeting all of the mission needs associated with Air

Defense Artillery project and the Unmanned Aircraft System – Target project over an extended period of time and are the only known platforms capable of continuing to meet these requirements without substantial development, demonstration, and equipment replacement cost and unacceptable schedule impacts to the Government.
