1 Scope

APSD Contract Support The Prototyping, Instrumentation & Experimentation (PIE) Department’s Aircraft Prototype Systems Division (APSD) has a requirement for Contractor technical support for efforts described in this Statement of Work (SOW). The PIE Department provides integrated airworthy prototypes, flight test instrumentation and system experimentation capabilities for Navy and Marine Corps aircraft programs. The primary focus of this SOW is to provide technical services and deliverables to meet prototyping requirements of the APSD infrastructure, engineering, technical shops and aircraft modification / installation teams in support of manufacturing, airworthiness, rapid reaction and transition, experimentation, concept demonstration, research, spiral development, prototyping, and test and evaluation programs. The APSD requires a standing support team of project managers, analysts, engineers, technicians, artisans, and other incidental supporting roles in order to meet critical schedule and test milestones for the Naval Air Systems Command Program Executive Offices (PEOs) that make up the core of the workload demand. For the purpose of this SOW, all activities leading up to Initial Operation Capability (IOC) are considered part of the prototype maturation process. The Contractor support predominantly covers the following activities as part of the non-recurring engineering, manufacturing, and installation requirement:

Provide support to the APSD AS9100D Quality Management System Perform engineering and manufacturing research, design, analysis, airworthiness, and documentation for air vehicle and aircraft mission system development, system definition and architecture development, modification programs, and support to providing alternative solutions to technology and aircraft component obsolescence

Provide support to the development of aircraft parts, assemblies, and modifications as part of technical data packages and manufacturing documentation

Provide technical support services to the APSD manufacturing shops for aircraft electrical and mechanical component manufacturing, modification, and installation activities

Perform project and financial management, analysis, and reporting Provide facility and access control support Provide organizational operations and administrative support

APSD Division Overview The APSD, located at Patuxent River, Maryland, is a principal center of expertise in the design, development, manufacturing, and installation of aircraft modification and mission systems for rapid response and quick reaction requirements, spiral development, concept demonstrations, prototype integration, aircraft test and evaluation, and fleet capability introduction. The APSD

N00421-23-R-0051 Section C: Statement of Work Attachment 1

UNCLASSIFIED

primarily supports U.S Navy and Marine Corps platforms, but also supports other DoD, Government Agencies and Foreign Military Sales programs. APSD performs systems research and analysis, electrical/electronic engineering, mechanical/structural engineering, reverse engineering, airworthiness analysis, documentation, manufacturing, fabrication, and flight certification coordination all in support of the installation of these systems and capabilities into military and commercial/commercial derivative aircrafts. Additionally, APSD provides and supports infrastructure and facility requirements for these programs across APSD and the PIE Department as part of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Digital, Analytics, Infrastructure and Technology Advancement (DAiTA) Group.

Requirements executed by APSD will require collection and delivery of required material and resources, flexibility in approach to projects, and collaborating with other Commercial, National, and private sector operations. The priority of projects ranges from traditional acquisition timelines to urgent operational response programs with National priority and immediate operational deployment requirements. The scale of these projects will range from non-complex build to print fabrication or installation efforts lasting several weeks to highly complex complete systems of systems integration and mission systems development efforts lasting several years.

APSD Branch Descriptions APSD’s project and support staff, and design/manufacturing equipment are within approximately 60,000 square feet of engineering and manufacturing shop facilities.
