1.3.1.1. (FUNDED) Support A9 in maintaining and developing updates/upgrades to MW algorithms used in operations. This includes algorithms to further refine accuracy for threat fans. The contractor shall assist in establishing a MW Operational Algorithm Toolbox within A9 to facilitate the maintenance and Verification and Validation (V&V) of these algorithms. This includes, but is not limited to, providing prototype algorithms in the MW algorithmic functional areas: Message Parsing, Message Correlation, Threat Determination, and Mission Data Counts (MDC). Review and evaluate MW and MD operational algorithms to support current and future MW/MD Integration efforts by AFSPC.

1.3.1.2. (UNFUNDED) Assist A9 in replacing the operational threat fan algorithms within the Global Command and Control System (GCCS), which is the Department of Defense Theater Missile Warning system of record, complementing AFSPC’s strategic warning systems. Assist A9 in replacing operational threat fan algorithms within the Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system.

1.3.1.3. DELIVERABLES. The contractor shall deliver prototype algorithms and accomplish operational capability in A9 for each of the functional areas listed in Requirement 1. (CDRL 0024)
