HCS Purpose The purpose of the HCS is to enable system synchronization, performance testing of new parts to replace obsolete parts, prove out of new capability, validation of the IBCS Hardware End Items (EOC/ECT, ICE, Relay, B-Side Processor) level ATP, and prove out of software. The Government will provide the latest software version to the contractor.

HCS Prove Out IBCS Hardware and software Prove Out. Within 30 days after acceptance of the HCS the contractor shall demonstrate that the IBCS Software (IBCS application, OIV, and FCN) can be loaded and be functional on the HCS in accordance with Attachment 05 (Software Installation Instructions) and attachment 04 (ATP). The test report shall be prepared IAW DID DI-NDTI-80809B (CDRL A028). All discrepancies shall be resolved prior to Government acceptance of any hardware from the production line.

IBCS Synchronization System synchronization is the management of IBCS hardware and software integration to ensure consistency in product acceptance, support of fielded systems, implementing new capability growth and support of Government simulation labs.

IBCS synchronization Plan The contractor shall develop and execute an IBCS Synchronization Plan IAW DI-MISC-80508, (CDRL A033) for IBCS hardware and software integration to ensure consistency in product acceptance, support of fielded systems, implementing new capability growth and support of Government simulation labs. The content of the plan shall at a minimum address: membership, frequency of meetings, charter, roles, responsibilities, and authorities, methodology and metrics for tracking hardware and software configuration for IBCS. The contractor shall have metrics for both production and new development efforts. All metrics will be shown as trends with planned vs. actual data points and updated at least monthly. Metrics will show the source of all data, the owner of the metric, the frequency and level of review.

Agile Software The contractor shall support the Government’s agile software development. The contractor shall integrate Government Furnished IBCS software configuration items onto the hardware configuration items prior to delivery. Functional testing shall be accomplished with the HCS. For discrepancies between the contractor provided hardware and the Government Furnished IBCS software configuration items, the contractor shall support and aid in the troubleshooting process for integrated system functionality. The contractor shall provide support to the Government IAMD PO SAFe Agile process. The contractor will support work in a team-based SAFe Agile environment. The Government will create and maintain system roadmaps, project plans, and product and release backlogs. The contractor shall provide Level-of-Effort (LoE) support to the Government in the creation of system roadmaps, project plans, and product and release backlogs. The contractor shall apply cadence and synchronization in alignment with the Government's SAFe Agile process to provide weekly meeting support and participation. Contractor shall plan to support a quarterly Performance Improvement Planning meeting in Huntsville AL as well as a weekly teleconference. The support is limited to the contractor providing status on IBCS HW development, progress, troubleshooting assistance, and sprint and system level demonstrations that may or may not affect the Governments SAFe Agile development process.

New IBCS software versions and required IBCS software related inputs.

Prior to incorporation of new IBCS software into the IBCS hardware production line, the software shall be validated on the HCS in accordance with Attachment 04 and Attachment 05. The government will provide all new software versions to the contractor. No software version will be provided that contains level 1 software trouble reports. The government will provide all IBCS software related inputs required by the contactor to satisfy the requirements of the TO1 SOW. Updates will be provided by the Government monthly. The contractor shall assist the government in assuring that any new software versions may be run on all previous hardware configurations.

IBCS configuration control The contractor shall document the current configurations, both hardware (includes firmware) and software, of the previously developed government IBCS systems and all production systems delivered under this contract. The contractor shall document the configuration of fielded systems based upon Government input.

Firmware configuration for the production line The contactor shall notify the Government of any replacement or new part that contains firmware and the respective firmware version. The Government will notify the contractor of any firmware changes required prior to the HCS testing.

OIV/FCN Software Reliability The contractor’s reliability predictions shall include all OIV/FCN software components in the system as identified in the reliability model. The contractor shall use industry accepted OIV/FCN software reliability prediction models. The government will provide the contractor monthly updated software reliability model inputs to be used in the reliability model.

Field Engineering Services (FES) The contractor shall provide FSRs and OSRs to support IBCS equipment at the Government-Systems Integration Laboratory (G-SIL) on Redstone Arsenal (RSA), Mission Integration Lab (MIL) in Andover, MA, Tactical Systems Integration Laboratory (T-SIL) at Tobin Wells (Ft. Bliss), and IAMD Testbed Operations at WSMR, NM during the period of performance.

Field Service Representatives (FSRs) The contractor shall provide FSRs based on system density, including IBCS equipment at the G-SIL, MIL, T-SIL and Testbed Operations during the period of performance. Each FSR shall assist customers with supply, maintenance, transportation, system modifications to include retrofit actions, trouble hotline manning, and other logistics-related issues. FSRs shall be able to operate hardware, troubleshoot, and maintain the IBCS laboratories and testbed equipment. The FSRs shall be the interface between the customer, Government, and contractor ensuring that parts flow to the customer and that retrograde flows back to repair locations. The FSRs shall provide unit operational integration assistance and training as required. When requested, FSRs will teach and/or assist Government and contractor personnel in March Order and Emplacement (MO&E) of MEIs.
