STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

FOR THE

INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILE (ICBM)

GROUND SUBSYSTEMS SUPPORT CONTRACT (GSSC)

SOFTWARE MODIFICATION TASK

9 December 2013

Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) ICBM Systems Directorate (AFNWC/NI) Hill Air Force Base, Utah 84056-5824

1.0 Background

The Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP) and Targeting Applications Computer System (STACS) made changes during the STACS program to increase gravity and astronomic latitude precision on the Launch Facility (LF) Master Database. However, these changes could not be fully implemented due to a time lag between the Codes System Media (CSM) and the STACS programs. The CSM program was too far into their design phase to incorporate these changes.

In a previous update to the Minuteman III (MMIII) Operational Targeting Program (MOTP), targeted stage 3 missions on Emergency War Order cases were allowed. A very restrictive post boost vehicle (PBV) rotation angle was implemented to ensure no recontact between the PBV and stage 3 occurred. More work in this area needs to be done to refine the rotation angle.

Higher Authority Communication/Rapid Message Processing Equipment (HAC/RMPE) has known shortfalls and to keep up with ever changing world situations, HAC/RMPE is modified semiannually. At the request of HQ AFGSC/A3IA, it is desired to incorporate several AF Forms 1067, Modification Proposal.

1.1 Program Objectives

This Statement of Objectives (SOO) is written for the purpose of modifying current MMIII Weapon System software by the contractor and may be an awardable task against the Ground Subsystems Support Contract (GSSC). All GSSC Performance Work Statement requirements apply in performing the work to accomplish the contract objectives below.

2.0 Contract Objectives

2.1 The objective of the software modification task contract is to establish the best technically acceptable/best value approach for all phases of the program.

2.2 Provide a detailed Contractor Statement of Work (CSOW). The CSOW shall address each SOO statement and define the work required to meet the completion of this effort.

3.0 Technical Objectives

3.1 Incorporate into the Wing Code Processing System (WCPS) Operational Software Change Request (OSCR) 3198 (Increase Gravity Precision on the LF Master Database).

3.2 Incorporate into the WCPS OSCR 3199 (Increase Astronomic Latitude Precision on the LF Master Database).

3.3 Study OSCR 3291 (Stage 3 Accuracy and Thrust Termination (TT) Model) along with stage 3 thrust termination dynamics to develop a stage 3 thrust termination model. Implement this model in the MOTP.

3.4 Study OSCR 3294 (Stage 3 & PBV Recontact Angle Check Limit May be Excessive). Determine a less restrictive recontact angle check limit and implement this limit into the MOTP.

3.5 Incorporate into the HAC/RMPE system the following AF Forms 1067, Modification Proposal:

3.5.1 H13-003RS (Milstar UHF Clean-Up)

3.5.2 H13-004RS (Indexing Problems with Decode Arrays)

3.5.3 H13-009RS (CIB Print Processing of <HT>s Incorrectly Performed when Received on UHF Milstar)

3.6 Provide for system integration and testing to ensure compatibility with the MMIII Weapon System.

3.7 Interface with Nuclear Safety Cross-Check Analysis/Performance Analysis and Test Evaluation (NSCCA/PATE) contractor to ensure any possible NSCCA/PATE discrepancies found are resolved.

4.0 Management Objectives

4.1 Provide the Government with clear visibility into concepts, design solutions, research, cost, schedule, meetings, technical performance, engineering data, tests, analysis, and risks.

4.2 Provide monthly cost and schedule reporting.

4.3 Maintain appropriate contract integration to support all necessary technical requirements and documentation updates.

4.4 Conduct technical interchange meetings as needed to provide Government insight.

4.5 Establish efficient and timely internal and external communication processes to maximize integration/coordination with Air Force (AF) and other Government agencies.

4.6 Adhere to the following instructions and in the event there is a conflict between a higher tiered and lower tiered instruction, the higher tiered instruction will take precedence.

· Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center Instruction (AFNWCI) 99-101, Nuclear Enterprise Test and Evaluation Management

· ICBM Systems Directorate (ICBMSD) Operating Instruction (OI) 99-103, Test and Evaluation

5.0 Data Objectives

5.1 Provide data via Contractor Data Requirements List (CDRL).

5.2 Deliver monthly contract management reports.

6.0 Deliverables

Provide the following documentation:
