1 Introduction

1.1 BACKGROUND

Assessments of the naval systems, concepts, force structure, and the role of naval forces in supporting joint warfighting capability requirements and the capabilities and utilization of live virtual constructive environments (LVCE), analytics, tools and infrastructure for research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) are key to the development of investment strategies to obtain the Navy’s vision for future operations. The Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) provides analytic and capability assessments to guide naval programming and investment decisions necessary to achieve the warfighting capabilities envisioned for future operations. ( Figure 1 )The naval analytic agenda and integration of analytic efforts are managed by OPNAV N81, coordinated with OPNAV Resource and Warfare Sponsors and Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (CFFC), and supported analytically by the Systems Commands (SYSCOMs).

Warfare Effectiveness Department (WED) (formerly known as the Mission Engineering Analysis Department), a department within the Digital Analytics Infrastructure and Technology Advancement (DAiTA) Group under the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), serves as NAVAIR’s competency and authoritative source for naval aviation warfare and mission capability analysis, providing Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) support to NAVAIR program offices, OPNAV, and the fleet for analytically defendable acquisition decisions, acquisition program execution and mission operational organization decisions. Within acquisition programs, warfare analysis is used to ensure engineering level performance and design are in fact meeting campaign, mission, and engagement level warfighting capability requirements. Using campaign, mission and engagement level models as a foundation, WED assesses weapon systems in the context of Major Combat Operations (MCOs) to support capabilities based acquisition. For mission operational organization decisions, analytics and research based studies and tools are generated and utilized to ensure the operational effectiveness of the NAVAIR organizations, approaches, structures and policies.

Central to WED’s Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capability is the Naval Aviation Enterprise Warfare Analysis Environment (NAE WAE) that provides state-of-the-art M&S laboratories in which analyses are performed to simulate naval warfare at the engineering, engagement, mission, and campaign levels. Properly integrating naval aviation systems in an appropriate M&S architecture is essential for analysts to identify the optimal systems, systems of systems, operational concepts, tactics, and capabilities required to deal with current and emerging threats to the United States abroad and at home. The NAE WAE provides decision makers with a much-needed, low cost analysis environment to efficiently plan for optimum structuring, acquisition, and operation of naval aviation forces within the new capabilities-based paradigm.

WED tasking for warfare analysis stems from many demands such as:

(1) Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Analytic Agendas

(2) The Joint Capabilities Integrated Development System (JCIDS) process

(3) Quadrennial Defense Review assessments

(4) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) guidance

(5) Office of Naval Research (ONR) assessments

(6) Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC) Concepts of Operations (CONOPS)

(7) Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) requirements development

(8) Strategic Capabilities Office initiatives

(9) Naval Capability Improvement Process (NCIP)

(10) Warfare Capability Baseline (WCB)

(11) Defense transformation initiatives

(12) On-going analysis of acquisition systems

(13) Subject Matter Expertise for fielded systems

Each of the above mentioned areas of demands may involve analysis at the operations at the campaign, mission, engagement or system level across a myriad of missions/warfare areas.

Additionally, the WED also serves as NAVAIR’s authoritative source for analysis, strategic planning, and program implementation of the utilization of live virtual constructive environment methods, tools, infrastructure, and data analytics, and model based systems engineering techniques and methods in support of systems RDT&E, acquisition and sustainment. The LVCE consists of a broad array of modeling and simulation, stimulation and hardware in the loop methods, tools, techniques, assets and systems installed in laboratories, chambers, ranges and test facilities with the ability to connect through a variety of networks to create a single virtual environment for conducting RDT&E events.

1.2 SCOPE

This contract requires the Contractor to provide warfare analysis, associated M&S and software development, architectures builds and assessments, acquisition analysis and support, data analysis, automated testing and retesting, and analytic program support. A broad spectrum of support for naval and joint warfighting capability assessments and M&S is required to support and enhance Government and military warfighting analytic efforts that are conducted in support of WED, Program Executive Offices (PEOs), the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and OPNAV. Additionally, analytic efforts may be assessed relative to joint capability requirements to provide time-phased capabilities within Joint Capability Areas (JCAs).

MS&A support provided under this SOW will be performed at the campaign, mission, and/or engagement level to identify warfighting gaps, determine the effectiveness of various alternatives in meeting those gaps, and ensure engineering level performance and designs meet warfighting capabilities requirements – all of which will provide the analytic underpinning for capability based acquisition decisions. Conceptual, developmental, and existing subsystems, systems, System of Systems (SoS), and Family-of-Systems (FoS), with associated CONOPS and tactics, will be assessed within operational and tactical situations to derive optimal naval warfighting capability requirements. Naval mission areas that may be examined include, but are not limited to, the following:

Development and application of M&S and analysis techniques will be used to assess engineering designs and approaches, concepts and alternatives, weapons and their characteristics, and platforms and their performance for blue (friendly), red (threat), white (neutral), and green (coalition) systems. Support for WED M&S is applied with engineering discipline with improved traceability of data through the modeling hierarchy and ensure continuous improvement in the development and application of M&S in support of analysis. Related tasking will include support for M&S Validation and Verification (V&V); configuration management; machine learning and artificial intelligence development; automation in development and sustainment, automation and testing for systems; effective engineering and system design geared around open architecture product lines; user/administrator training; execution and administration of policies and procedures that govern the administration of the laboratories; and development and maintenance of an MS&A data repository.
