APPENDIX B – BACKGROUND AND ESTIMATED WORKLOAD DATA

The historical workload data provided is for informational purposes only and is based upon historical data. Contractors shall propose based on their own technical approach.

A. BACKGROUND EVENTS.

1. Distributed Common Ground Systems (DCGS) Data Link Optimization and Tactics, Techniques, and

Procedures (TTP) development. (October 2008 - September 2009) Engineering and Engineering Support

Services at five (5) core Distributed Ground Site(s) (DGS). Test preparations, test executions, technical and test reports, site specific TTP development, publishing, and training. (3840 hours)

Joint Digital Integration for Combat Engagement (JDICE) through indefinite delivery indefinite quantity

(IDIQ) contract modification was tasked to address optimization of data link operations within the AF

DCGS enterprise. JDICE was selected based on its roles and authorities under SAF/XC as the integration, development and evaluation agent for Joint Data Network (JDN) TTP for combat identification, advanced programs and emerging capabilities. The primary objective; optimize the data link operations of the AF DCGS enterprise and the DGS Data Link Operator (DLO) in accordance with theater requirements and AF DGS CONOPS. Areas addressed included data link systems, architecture, data link and security guard equipment configuration, DLO crew procedures, COCOM/MAJCOM ROE, training, and TTP development.

2. Multiple Source Correlation System's (MSCS) Risk Reduction Study. Specified test event at JDICE lab and DCGS core sites (5 Sites) (February - July 2010). Engineering and Engineering Support Services.

Test preps, test executions, test reports. (1920 hours)

The overall purposes of the risk-reduction events were to confirm the MSCS’ ability to transmit specific track types via the MSCS Multi-TDL Capability (MTC) link architecture to a distant-end

Joint Range Extension (JRE). Sixty-eight (68) specific links with 16 compatible tracks were selected to verify transmission integrity for inclusion in the DGS DLO TTP. In addition, four (4) track specific type changes were sent to verify the MTC link. The primary objective for the risk reduction event was: (1) successfully transmit specific link 16 track types from the MSCS to a distant-end JRE via an IP connection using the MTC protocol. (2) Intent: Ensure integrity of the data across the IP connection using the MTC protocol.

3. TDL, Subject Matter Expert, Liaison, for Tactical Data Dissemination for new Quick Reaction

Capabilities. (October 2009 - September 2010) (1920 hours)

4. Primary Scope: Develop, coordinate and implement JINDI CONOPS, TTP, Training, STANDARDIZATION/EVALUATION documentation; and JDICE SME for AFISRA development of standardized Data Link Operator (DLO) development and optimization across AF-DCGS, other AFISRA

DLO Initiatives, and new rapid fielding Quick Reaction Capabilities tactical data link integration.

5. All listed items are required to plan, train, execute, analyze, and report for DICE. Funding comes from

Air Force ISR Agency (AFISRA) and other DoD entities. Unique costs include those funds necessary for the following:

Basic Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Digital Integration for Combat Engagement (DICE)

Transportation, travel, and per diem for the DICE team

Provisions for data collection, data reduction, analysis, and test reporting services

Manpower for the DICE team
