STATEMENT OF WORK

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Information (C4I) and Munitions Test Improvement Contract IV (CIMTIC Iv)

1.0 SCOPE. This contract acquires specialized hardware and software and/or initial system designs to develop/modify the facilities and infrastructure urgently required for test/training and evaluation of C4I and Munitions systems. C4I testing includes tests of hardware and software systems used for C4I including “System of Systems” and hardware and software systems used on aircraft platforms involved with the C2 test process. Munitions testing includes tests of ground based, airborne, and space borne ordnance/armament systems and supporting guidance and control, seeker/sensor, navigation systems. Munitions testing also includes high energy lasers, and high power microwave systems. The general areas of work include design, development, test, modification, installation, training, and/or transition to production support, all as related to the Eglin Range Complex, test hardware and software systems, facilities, and infrastructure improvements. Specific tasking will be provided on an as required basis by delivery order. A secondary requirement for this acquisition is to develop/modify the systems, facilities, and infrastructure required to provide electronic combat test, training, and evaluation support for the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). A tertiary requirement may involve providing these enhancements in testing capability at other facilities in the C4I and Munitions test community.

1.1 Objective. The primary objective of this program is to provide the 96th Range Group the capability to meet the need to urgently develop and modify Air Force Test Center (AFTC) C4I and munitions test and evaluation (T&E) systems and facilities.
