1.0. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) provides for various Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) and Non-Advisory and Assistance Services (Non-A&AS) to Headquarters Air Force Space Command (HQ AFSPC) Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Mission Capability. This contract will serve as a vehicle to provide further broadened technical and analytical tools, support or improve policy development, management, and administration, or improve the operation of systems supporting PNT missions. PNT also requires various forms of support during several phases of planning, programming, acquisition, and implementation cycles of various government systems, and will need to complement the Government's technical expertise in accomplishing its mission. All services requested under this PWS are non-personal in nature.

1.1. Scope. In rendering the foregoing services, outputs may take the form of information, advice, opinions, alternatives, analyses, evaluations, recommendations, training and/or services to complement the Government’s technical expertise in accomplishing its mission. PNT has a continuing requirement for contracted support, both advisory and assistance services (A&AS) and non-advisory and assistance services (non-A&AS). The A&AS primarily comprises three major categories of services: Management, Operational and Professional Support Services; Studies, Analyses, and Evaluations; and Engineering and Technical Services. The non-A&AS primarily comprises two major categories of services: Information Management and Engineering Services. However, all services rendered under this contract require thorough knowledge and understanding of space vehicles and guided missiles and military and aerospace equipment and military weapons.

1.2. Mission. The mission of AFSPC is to defend the United States through the control and exploitation of space. This is accomplished by operating space systems; providing support from space to terrestrial forces; operating ballistic missile forces as a deterrent against nuclear attack; providing assured mission capability, including ground control support for designated Department of Defense (DoD) satellites through all levels of conflict; providing warning of a space ballistic missile attack; providing the ability to protect friendly satellites and to negate enemy spacecraft; and maintaining the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) force, people and materiel. The mission of AFSPC includes specific responsibilities as the Air Force component of US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) for space and ICBM forces, and as an Air Force Major Command (MAJCOM). These responsibilities are interrelated and entail specific relationships with other commands and agencies, both United States and Allied.

1.2.1. The fundamental goal of PNT is to ensure that the United States maintains space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services, augmentation, back-up, and service denial capabilities that provide uninterrupted availability of positioning, navigation, and timing services; meet growing national, homeland, economic security, and civil requirements, and scientific and commercial demands; remain the pre-eminent military space-based positioning, navigation, and timing service; continue to provide civil services that exceed or are competitive with foreign civil space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services and augmentation systems; remain essential components of internationally accepted positioning, navigation, and timing services; and promote U.S. technological leadership in applications involving space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services.

1.2.2. To achieve this goal, the United States Government shall:

· Provide uninterrupted access to U.S. space-based global, precise positioning, navigation, and timing services for U.S. and allied national security systems and capabilities through the Global Positioning System without dependence on foreign positioning, navigation, and timing services;

· Provide on a continuous, worldwide basis civil space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services free of direct user fees for civil, commercial, and scientific uses and for homeland security through the Global Positioning System and its augmentations. Provide open, free access to information necessary to develop and build equipment to use these services;

· Improve capabilities to deny hostile use of any space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services without unduly disrupting civil and commercial access to civil positioning, navigation, and timing services outside an area of military operations or for homeland security purposes;

· Improve the performance of space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services including more robust resistance to interference for, and consistent with, U.S. and allied national security purposes, homeland security, and civil, commercial, and scientific users worldwide;

· Maintain the Global Positioning System as a component of multiple sectors of the U.S. Critical Infrastructure consistent with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7, Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection, dated December 17, 2003;

· Encourage foreign development of positioning, navigation, and timing services and systems based on the Global Positioning System. Seek to ensure that foreign space-based positioning, navigation, and timing systems are interoperable with the civil services of the Global Positioning System and its augmentations in order to benefit civil, commercial, and scientific users worldwide. At a minimum, seek to ensure foreign systems are compatible with the Global Positioning System and its augmentations and address mutual security concerns with foreign providers to prevent hostile use of space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services; and

· Promote the use of U.S. space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services and capabilities for applications at the Federal, State, and local level, to the maximum practical extent.

1.3. Requirements. The contractor shall perform technical analyses, planning, programming, budgeting, assessments, systems security current and future operations technical analysis and support, and assistance in solving problematic issues and concerns experienced by management, development and operations communities. In rendering the foregoing services, outputs may take the form of information, advice, opinions, alternatives, analyses, evaluations, recommendations, training and/or services to complement the Government’s technical expertise in accomplishing its mission. These services provide support, assistance, advice, or training for the efficient and effective management and operation of PNT organizations, activities, or systems. The required support for PNT shall fall into one of the following categories: Space Based Navigation Systems or Global Positioning System (GPS).

1.3.1. Space Based Navigation Systems Services

1.3.1.1. Overview. This requirement encompasses both operational capabilities for the Department of Defense (DoD) as well as civil applications for the Departments of Transportation (DoT), State (DoS), and Commerce (DoC) including their sub-agencies such as the FAA, NOAA, NASA, and NIST. As the primary focal point for the DoD and DoT, HQ AFSPC is charged to acquire/field GPS as “the premier worldwide space-based positioning/navigation/timing (PNT) system” per Presidential Decision Directive/National Security Policy Directive-39. Thus, this task supports the development of military and civil requirements through a structured Interagency Requirements Plan (IRP) process, analyses of competing accuracy and timing needs (both signals and security architectures), evaluation and recommendation counters to validated global/regional threats including the worldwide noise floor, and support for submission of the annual Program Objective Memorandum (POM).

This work requires technical analyses to identify the operational capabilities for fielding the next generation of GPS (i.e., GPS-III) which shall provide enhanced anti-jam capability, improved accuracy and timing, system integrity and net-centric interoperability. Furthermore, the on-going fielding of GPS Block II Modernization (i.e., GPS-IIR, IIR-M, and IIF) requires the same type of support.

The Operational Control Segment (OCS) includes the Architecture Evolution Program (AEP) as well as Launch Anomaly and Disposal Operations (LADO), while MUE addresses the utilization of both spectrally separate Military-code (M-Code), the Selective Availability and Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) utilizing P(Y) code, and Coarse Acquisition code (C/A code). Protection of Navigation (PRONAV) is also part of the MUE task along with advisory actions to the four military services for antenna electronics (AE) and PNT post-processing.

The GPS contribution to DoD’s Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) goals must remain synchronized in order to deploy a robust, complementary operational NAVWAR architecture. The benefits of a defined GPS Operational Architecture (OA) stand to support NAVWAR tenets as various other terrestrial and airborne programs are fielded in the coming decades.

The evolution of various threats require constant evaluation to ensure future GPS signals, services and augmentations have the robust ability to operate-through a noise/jammed environment. Threat activity includes both analytical actions as well as monitoring the conduct of various tests in both the developmental and operational realms.

While GPS is an unclassified service to many users, the large majority of the above activity is often conducted in an officially controlled or classified environment. Classified actions are not only at the collateral level but also include Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) material and Special Access Program (SAP)/Special Access Required (SAR) items.

Other nations have recognized the critical role played by space-based PNT to not only their military forces but also the inherent transformational ability it provides their civil infrastructure such as banks, safety-of-life systems, cell phone networks, personnel tracking, and surveying. As a result, competing systems such as the European Union/European Space Agency’s Galileo program, the Russian GLONASS, China’s BEIDOU system, and Japan’s QZSS must be constantly assessed to ensure GPS remains the world standard as directed by National Security Policy Directive (NSPD) signed by the President.
