V Department Integrated Combat Systems

Combat Weapon System Technology and Engineering Support

The following is being provided in an effort to enhance competition and allow industry adequate time to develop acquisition strategies

This is a combined Sources Sought/Advance Notice only. This is not a request for proposals and does not obligate the Government to award a contract or task order.

Integrated Combat Systems (ICS) Department (V) performs combat system engineering, combat system certification, combat system test and evaluation, mission/force/System-of-Systems analysis and engineering, interoperability engineering, and human system integration. The Department provides a lead role in developing, fielding, and sustaining operationally superior warfare systems and performing the full spectrum of warfare analysis, research, development, integration, test and evaluation, and certification to provide quality system engineering and war fighting products to the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

The ICS Department promotes synergy across warfare and combat system development and ship acquisition programs within the Navy Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). They achieve this synergy in two parts. In the first part, they provide strategic planning, coordination, collaboration, and programmatic execution of similar complex warfare and combat system program efforts, including the associated weapons and systems for those programs, executed across all NSWCDD technical departments. The ICS Department works with various sponsors including Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Program Executive Office (PEO) Integrated Warfare

Systems (IWS), PEO Ships, PEO Unmanned and Small Surface Combatants (USC), PEO Carriers, Fleet, Marine

Corp, Coast Guard, and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to advocate their requirements and promote NSWCDD technical capability, as appropriate to render efficient and effective solutions to their requirements. In the second part of the synergy, the ICS Department consolidates business, financial management and associated support functions under a centralized Business Office. The Business Office works collaboratively with the NSWCDD

Corporate and Department business offices for financial planning, execution, and reporting. The ICS Department promotes commonality of business operations across multiple NSWCDD programs and technical departments as well as sponsor organizations.

The technical and engineering expertise in the areas of combat and weapons systems engineering will provide support focused on enabling synergy across the combat system portfolio through successful programmatic and technical execution.
