Performance Work Statement

USAFA SUAS Operations, Maintenance, and Training

31 July 2015

1. General Information and Description of Service

1.1. Program Mission

1.1.1. Leadership Development: the mission of the USAFA small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) center is to develop future combat Air Power leaders for the USAF within the context of a current, multi-faceted, and realistic air combat training environment that exposes cadets to real-world systems, concepts of operation, together with the three dimensional battlefield of fog and friction.

1.1.2. Military Education: The USAFA UAS center is an Air Power program with a broad emphasis on the development of combat Air Force leaders coupled with specific air combat academic understanding, experiential learning, and operational familiarization through the utilization of the USAFA Airpower Battle Lab in concert with the RQ-11B DDL Raven SUAS. This is combined with operational support of research for USAF Academy and associates in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), future development of manned and unmanned UAS; ISR tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP); and SUAS systems.

1.1.3. Orientation to Military Flying: This center supports the purpose and goals of USAFA cadet airmanship education with introduction and operations of a SUAS within the national airspace system and within the construct of DoD-FAA guidance. It is intended to provide a student-focused, highly motivational leadership development program with orientation to a broad spectrum of airborne systems involved in ISR and ground support roles.

1.2. Center Program Goals

1.2.1. Graduate cadets with a basic understanding of air combat operations through the integration of the RQ-11 Raven with the air operations center (AOC) “lite” Airpower Battle Lab. The center’s educational approach introduces concepts such as crew resource management (CRM); risk management (RM); TTPs; command and control (C2) of airborne assets; application of rules of engagement (ROE); various aspects of kill chain execution; target search, identification and designation; persistent ISR; moving target acquisition and monitoring; planned and ad-hoc mission tasking and execution; and other tactical employment concepts.

1.2.2. Indoctrinate cadets into USAF operational culture. Cadets will fill all leadership and instructor roles to the extent possible within the constraints of the USAFA training and academic requirements. However, to ensure success the contractor fills an essential training and educational responsibility. The contractor must be familiar with and able to instruct cadets on current airpower TTPs, weapons and threats. At all times the contractor will present a high level of professionalism and competence with respect to current USAF and joint operational norms.

1.3. Description of Operations

1.3.1. Overview. The USAFA UAS Airmanship program uses the RQ-11 Raven SUAS as the primary platform to achieve its mission and goals. In addition to the Raven, USAFA operates other small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS group 1 and 2) primarily for research and educational purposes. This service contract supports Raven and provides flight operations coordination support for other SUAS operations.

1.3.2. USAFA AOC. The AOC, located in building 2413, provides administrative and flight following support for all USAFA UAS operations. This includes providing daily flight briefings; maintenance of flight evaluation and training records; maintenance, storage and issuance of equipment and inventories; airspace scheduling and de-confliction; frequency scheduling and de-confliction; real-time “Ops Sup” command and control support to include single-point-of-contact support between UAS flight crews and the 306th FTG (e.g., SOF, Weather, OSS NOTAMS shop, etc.). The AOC will operate IAW USAFA UAS Operating Instructions, Volumes 1, 2, and 3.

1.3.3. Raven Basic Course. The Raven Basic Course, UAS 200, provides Raven-specific classroom instruction as well as familiarization sorties (“fam training”). The primary goal of UAS 200 is to motivate cadets to enroll in the MSS 201 airpower applications course and the instructor upgrade training (IPUG) program. Cadets will be primarily responsible for instructing familiarization sorties as SUAS Operators/Instructors (SUAS-O/I) using the Raven with contractor / officer SUAS-I oversight as required. On occasion, if there are no cadet SUAS-Is available, the contractor will be required to assist the Government officer with familiarization training. In this case, cadet SUAS-Os will normally demonstrate Raven capabilities to UAS 200 students with the assistance of contractor/officer SUAS-Is.

1.3.4. MSS 201. The USAFA UAS/AOC Airpower Applications and SUAS-O Upgrade course is designed to develop knowledge, skills, and responsibilities of operating SUAS beyond the familiarization of UAS 200 with the added dimension of blending this ISR asset into the broader concept of airpower application within an AOC like environment. Operations emphasize situational awareness, weapon and sensor systems and capabilities, mission execution, and operational risk and crew resource management. Cadets experience a variety of scenarios requiring the application of sound tactics, rules of engagement, and ethical airmanship. Approximately 15 SUAS sorties and 10 simulator missions accruing approximately 15 flight hours are focused on realistic ISR missions. The contractor will assist the Government in developing training materials and providing feedback to Government evaluator in accordance with course objectives and outcomes.

1.3.5. SUAS Instructor Upgrade. USAFA Cadets who enter IPUG will attend Initial Qualification Training as required by USAF Instructions where they will meet the initial training requirements for SUAS-O qualification provided by Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). As SUAS-Os they will assist with familiarization training and receive classroom instruction to build time and prepare for SUAS-I qualification evaluations. Select SUAS-Is will be certified by the Director as SUAS-Evaluators (SUAS-Es). The contractor will assist the Government in providing feedback for prospective SUAS-I.

1.3.6. SUAS Flight Test. Flight test is conducted at USAFA using group 1 or 2 SUAS. These operations meet USAFA academic requirements to include research. SUAS flight test operations are flown by cadets, Government personnel, and contractors who have completed SUAS-O upgrade. (Flight Test upgrade training, and all training related to non-Raven UASs will be provided by USAFA personnel.) Operationally, SUAS flight test operations are controlled and supported by the USAFA UAS AOC IAW USAFA UAS Volumes 1-3. Contractors’ role in SUAS Flight Test is limited to flight operations coordination support.

1.4. Scope of Work

1.4.1. Objective: The purpose of this contract is to provide necessary qualified support to the USAFA UAS program.

1.4.1.1. The intent is to provide USAFA with the needed concurrent support for administrative, logistical, RQ-11 maintenance, flying operations supervision and aircrew records management support (ARMS) together with ground and flight instruction for SUAS. The primary SUAS is the RQ-11 Raven. Additional Group 1 and 2 SUAS may be adopted in the future as the UAS program evolves. See paragraph 1.8.1.

1.4.1.2. At any given time the contractor may be required to provide personnel to simultaneously support up to three separate flying sites while operating the AOC. Contractor is required to provide personnel qualified in the RQ-11 as an instructor in order to meet contract requirements.
