1. Purpose

The purpose of this effort is to contract for Engineering and Computer Science skills to support the Automated Solutions for Integration, Simulation, and Test, ASIST, team in its mission to support/develop weapons system support software.

2. Scope

The scope of the effort is to provide expertise in writing and maintaining the Operational Test Program (OTP) software that runs on the Portable Automated Test System (PATS) hardware. Also develop testing tools that will be needed by other projects and organizations including MMXG- UTTR Missile Dissection System, 516th SMXS CBATS, Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F), VME Card Tester (VCTr) for F-16 COMET and others that may also require services. As the need arises Subject Matter Expertise (SME) in the areas of avionics, vetronics, weapons system support software, test, and simulation will used to support government requirements. These services will include technical expertise in these areas to fix Problem Anomaly Reports (PARs), defects found in the software, develop new capabilities to enable the warfighter, and maintain the technical capacity of the ASIST team by providing expert services described in Appendix B “Labor Categories”. Technical requirements include A-10 avionics, LabVIEW, C++, Visual Basic 6, and VeriStand.

3. Background

The 309th Software Maintenance Group, 520th Software Maintenance Squadron’s Automated Solutions for Integration, Simulation, and Test (ASIST) tool development and maintenance team supports the A-10 OFP Project, which includes the 309th Software Maintenance Organization (SMXG) effort to develop the Operational Flight Program (OFP) software. The ASIST team is responsible for the Operational Test Program (OTP) that runs on the Portable Automated Test System (PATS). In the context of A-10, the team is known as the A-10 OTP team or A-10 Maintenance Support Software (MSS) team. The A-10 MSS team follows the A-10 OFP process. OFP software is on-aircraft software and OTP is commonly used to describe off aircraft software but technically OTP is an application. There are many maintenance applications that support the aircraft maintainer as part of the MSS such as:

Operational Test Program (OTP)

Windows TEMS/ADR Support Software (WINTASS)

Real-Time Engine Data Viewer (RTEDV)

Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) Media Access Control (MAC) Adaptive Playback (SMAP)

Tablet CSEL Key Loader (TCKL)

Aircraft Systems Information Support Tool (ASIST)

Support for small projects, consulting, and training are performed by the ASIST team and the ASIST team is the only Air Force Certified LabVIEW Center of Excellence (COE) and conducts user group meetings, training, and consulting to support the 309 SMXG projects as subject matter experts. The ASIST team supports the core mission of the 309 SMXG in the development or maintenance of weapons systems software.
