TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH, INTEGRATION, AND

DEMONSTRATION (TRIAD) PROGRAM

STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 Scope

1.1 Background. The Structures Division of the Air Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/RBS) plans, directs, manages, and performs basic research, exploratory development, and advanced development in aerospace vehicle structural design, structural technology integration, analytical structural mechanics, structural dynamics, sustainment, and extreme combined environment structures to solve critical structural problems on fixed-wing aerospace vehicles. This statement of work (SOW) describes the basic requirements that shall apply to the individual Task Orders that are placed under the Technology Research, Integration, and Demonstration (TRIAD) Program. The applicability of these requirements and any other specific requirements shall be as set forth in each individual Task Order.

1.2 Objective. The objective of the TRIAD Program is to conduct basic, applied, advanced, and demonstration/validation research to develop, demonstrate, integrate, and transition new aerospace vehicle structures technologies to the warfighter. These structures technologies will provide cost effective, survivable aerospace vehicle platforms capable of accurate delivery of weapons and cargo worldwide. Task Orders shall be used to conduct basic, applied, advanced, and demonstration/validation research and technology development in the following AFRL/RBS technical competencies: Structural Response Prediction, Structural Life Forecasting, Structural Integrity, Geometry Modeling and Design, Multidisciplinary Modeling and Analysis, Adaptive Structures, Multifunctional Structures, Hybrid Structures, Thermal Structures, and Experimental Validation. Research and technology development in these technical competencies may require the use of technology demonstration vehicles, ground test facilities, flight test facilities, and/or laboratory experiments to develop, analyze, and assess aerospace vehicle structures technologies for transition to the warfighter.

1.3 General Directions

1.3.1 The TRIAD Program shall be executed on a Task Order by Task Order basis with each Task Order being a standalone effort with unique and standalone requirements, period of performance, funding, and deliverables.

1.3.2 The work covered in this SOW is for the total TRIAD Program (i.e. TRIAD basic program).

1.3.3 If there is a conflict between a Task Order SOW and the basic program SOW, the Task Order SOW shall take precedence.

1.3.4 Funding is not provided for the TRIAD basic program. Rather, all funding is provided through Task Orders.

1.3.5 Offeror developed software shall be provided in accordance with the requirements specified within individual Task Orders.

1.3.6 Offeror developed hardware shall be provided in accordance with the requirements specified within individual Task Orders.

1.3.7 The work performed on the TRIAD Program shall be restricted to the unclassified domain.

2.0 Applicable Documents. Not Applicable.
