STATEMENT OF WORK

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT

C.1 BACKGROUND

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.

C.2 SCOPE

The Contractor provides technical and engineering experts in support of systems engineering trades, analyses and planning for current and future naval surface combat and warfare systems definition, design, modernization, and sustainment for the technical Departments and Command at NSWCDD.

The technical and engineering expertise in the areas of combat and weapons systems engineering must understand the Digital Systems Engineering Transformation (DSET) effort that the Navy is currently undergoing. The Naval DSET Strategy defines digital engineering as "an integrated, computation-based approach that uses authoritative sources of system data and models across disciplines to support lifecycle activities from concept through disposal." Digital Engineering will be a key to managing increasingly complex systems and ensuring future naval surface combat and warfare systems are defined, designed, updated, and sustained as necessary. This transformation will require the contractor to understand how current processes, tools, and tasking might transform from document-driven to model-driven. In that regard, the Contractor also must understand Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as part of Digital Engineering. MBSE is

"formalized application of modeling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification and validation, beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing through development and later lifecycle phases." The Contractor must understand and assist in this transformation but this contract does not require specific expertise in MBSE nor does it require the Contractor to develop software.
