1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 Purpose. The primary purpose of this effort is to develop the initial capability for a radiofrequency (RF) ground-based, global sensor network for the persistent monitoring of low level electromagnetic pulse (EMP) in support of monitoring foreign compliance with treaties and self-imposed testing moratoriums.

1.2 Scope. The effort is for the preliminary development of a RF ground-based, global sensor analysis network for the persistent monitoring of EMP. This effort shall include the design, integration, and demonstration of a prototype system. The execution of this objective will be implemented in multiple phases to permit government assessment at critical program milestones.

1.3 Background. Historically, Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) operated

EMP ground-based systems in one form or another starting in 1951 and lasting until the late

1980’s. The RF based ground systems were turned off due to several factors, primarily being cost factors associated with operations, maintenance, personnel, real estate, and communications during a period when space-based platforms were deploying with the necessary EMP monitoring capabilities. However, with major advancements and increased commercial applications for the technology, a RF ground-based, global sensor network for nuclear treaty monitoring may now be a viable concept to enhance the AFTAC treaty monitoring mission capability. Earlier systems provide starting point for the development and planning of this new system and capability since the knowledge, expertise, and lessons learned from earlier systems can be leveraged for this effort. To date, explorations of this data type for this project have included informal market surveys of available lightning locations vendors, interactions with universities, and literature searches of historical and contemporary documents.

1.4 Applicable Documents. The applicable documents identified in the Expert Scientific and

Analytical Support basic contract apply to this effort. At a minimum, the following documents shall be used as reference documents:

1.5 Contractor Tasks. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, assets, services, (except as specified in Section 3 as government furnished property and services) and other items necessary to support the initial development of a RF ground-based, global sensor analysis network prototype capability for the persistent monitoring of EMP. To reduce development costs Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software applications shall be used to the maximum extent to meet system requirements. The contractor shall ensure the prototype capability is Department of Defense Architecture

Framework (DoDAF), and DoD Information Technology Standards and Profile Registry (DISR) compliant and meets DoD Net-Centric Services Strategy (NCSS) Service Oriented Architecture

(SOA) objectives to the maximum extent practicable. The contractor shall identify elements of existing systems and commercial products that are not DoDAF compliant. ESAS PWS paragraph 1.10 Management and Administrative Requirements and its subparagraphs apply to this Task Order. (A0001, A0002, A0006)

1.5.1 RF Prototype Requirements and Functional Analysis. The contractor shall research commercially available sources of RF ground-based, global sensor network for the persistent monitoring of EMP to include RF ground-based lightning detection system. The contractor shall consult with vendors, contractors, national laboratories, academia, and other subject matter experts recognized in the field associated with on-going activities to identify potential sources. The contractor shall survey functional operations and architecture of the data stream from all of the potential sources to include, but not limited to, information related to the sensor, geo-location, time tag, state-of-health, communication network, data exchange formats, protocols, software, and compatibility. The contractor shall provide a list reflecting the general description of the available commercial systems’ capabilities and parameters. The contractor shall provide a technical assessment of the potential sources and recommendations. The contractor shall document potential operational scenarios and system capabilities based on the available commercial sources and current technology in a RF Prototype Concept of Operations

(CONOPS). CDRL A0001, A0002, A0005A, A0005B)

1.5.2 Acquire/Import Existing RF Data Streams. Based on current technology and potential sources, the contractor shall acquire and import commercially available RF data streams for use in the development of a RF ground-based, global sensor analysis network prototype. The prototype shall initially receive commercially available data stream from a single source, but shall be scalable to add multiple remote sensor networks through various Internet connections and communication channels. The contractor shall identify potential modifications to the commercially available sensor head or potential adjustments to the data stream content that potentially could improve detection and location requirements. The acquired data streams shall be adjusted to frequency bands and waveforms consistent with historic ground-based detection systems and the data deliver shall support continuous operational monitoring. The contractor shall ensure the acquired data streams for use in the prototype are adapted for import to secure government facilities. The contractor shall document the functional operations and architecture of the data stream from all acquired sources. The contractor shall report findings, results, and recommendations. (CDRL A0001, A0002, A0005A, A0015, A0017, A0018, A0021, A0022)

1.5.3 RF Data and Event Analysis Tools, Applications, and Utility Programs. The contractor shall use the acquired data streams and frequency bands and waveform discrimination methods consistent with historic AFTAC “J” techniques to develop a near-real time detection and location capability. Standard linear time-of-arrival methods, focused “spotlight” methods, networked array processing, synthetic aperture processing, wavelet processing, and cluster analysis shall be evaluated for implementation to assist in detection and location. The contractor shall integrate available waveforms in to the analysis function. The analysis function shall support execution of simulations and exercises. The contractor shall document the functional operations, architecture, and design of the prototype. The contractor shall report findings, results, and recommendations.

1.5.4 RF Data Processing Station. The contractor shall design a standalone prototype of a RF ground-based data processing center. The data processing center shall provide an interface for the acquired and imported RF data streams and functions for data management, processing, and display. The prototype shall load, compile, store, retrieve, standardize, correlate, analyze, and display data. The design concept shall provide for an automated event triggering capability and a manual capability to manipulate the data based on user-defined parameters. The prototype shall have the capability to retrieve captured waveforms directly from the individual sensor heads (where available), and provide filtration of routine lightning data to reduce the analytical burden on detected non-lightning events. The contractor shall document the future system design concept including planned functional operations, and preliminary architecture, and shall provide actual design configuration of the prototype hardware and software system elements. The contractor shall report findings, results, and recommendations. (CDRL A0001, A0002, A0005A, A0013, A0015, A0017, A0018, A0021, A0022)
