1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1 Introduction.

This is a non-personal services contract. The Government will neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks.

The contractor shall manage its employees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (CO) immediately if they perceive any actions constitute personal services. These services shall not be used to perform any Inherently Governmental Functions (IGF).

1.2 Background.

1.2.1 The former Joint Digital Integration for Combat Engagement (JDICE) (now known as

During this time, JDICE #1 priority was to identify, test, and validate data exchange systems and architectures that, when integrated with actionable Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) information and the application of innovative TTPs would enhance CID for the tactical warfighter.

1.2.2 DICE performed operational mission support and a wide variety of Joint Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation activities in its integration mission. DICE provided support for development, testing, evaluation, documentation, and distribution of standardized TTPs, associated architectures, and related processes and or solutions.

1.2.3 DICE performed the following tasks and functions:

1.2.3.1 Identified National, non-traditional and service specific data collection and ISR capabilities for integration into the JDN.

1.2.3.2 Coordinated current and future technological efforts to identify, fuse, correlate, and track tactically actionable/relevant data derived from traditional and non-traditional sources.

1.2.3.3 Researched, developed, and recommended digital data exchange architectures in support of situational awareness and CID for the tactical warfighter.

1.2.3.4 Tested and validated the Air Force Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance Agency (AF

ISR Agency) developed and approved TTPs and data exchange architectures.

6.3 APPENDIX C – 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 AF ISR Agency development of standardized Data Link Operator (DLO) development and optimization across AF-DCGS, other AF ISR Agency 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 (AF ISR Agency) and other DoD entities. Unique costs include those funds necessary for the following:
