PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Applications Infrastructure and Systems Support (AISS)

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 ORGANIZATION: HEADQUARTERS AIR MOBILITY COMMAND

1.1.1 Background

The Programs and Integration Branch (PIB) will manage the Headquarters Air Mobility Command (HQ AMC) infostructure environment designed to support the information needs of combatant commanders throughout the full spectrum of military operations. The AMC Missions Systems Frameworks will support the Missions Systems operations at all echelons of command and operating locations. The Missions Systems frameworks provide an integrated architecture to support monitoring global situational awareness; assessing operating environments;

formulating potential impacts and alternatives; and enabling decision superiority. It will enable development of optimized air mobility plans created in a collaborative environment resulting in synchronized operations. The users of the Missions Systems Frameworks at all echelons require interoperable, shared access to multi-mission partner domains (e.g. USTRANSCOM, AF, Joint, coalition, civil) information sources in a net-centric environment to enable global situational awareness, planning, execution, and assessment activities in support of joint, allied, and coalition operations. The fusing of information from these multiple sources will enable commanders and decision makers to attain improved global situational awareness to support dynamic C2 of MAF forces.

1.1.2 Scope

The Contractor shall provide Applications Infrastructure and Systems Support (AISS) for programs within the Missions Systems, which currently includes Advanced Computer Flight Plan (ACFP), Airlift Service Industrial Fund Integrated Computer System (ASIFICS), Commercial Operations Integrated System (COINS), Consolidated Air Mobility Planning System (CAMPS), Global Air Transportation Execution System/Worldwide Port Systems (GATES/WPS), Global Command and Control System (GCCS), and Global Decision Support System (GDSS).

This effort will be in the form of technical and support tasks associated with Missions Systems Enclave and Missions Systems Applications support, information assurance, testing support, configuration management, and training under the direction of the PIB.
