INTRODUCTION

The OCX (GPS Next Generation Control Segment (GPS Ground System)) Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides the common link throughout the management system for planning, budgeting, and reporting the cost, schedule, and technical performance of the program. The WBS is composed of the WBS logic diagram, the WBS list, and the WBS dictionary. The logic diagram and list show the WBS interrelationships while the WBS dictionary describes work items included in each WBS element.

Wherever necessary the Offeror should extend the WBS to a sufficiently detailed level to ensure that all major activities of the contract scope are well defined and insight into high cost, high risk items is available.

Reference MIL-HDBK-881-A, (Appendix F - Space Systems) for details concerning a Ground Segment WBS. Reference MIL-HDBK-881-A, (Appendix B – Electronic/Automated Software Systems) for details concerning a system comprised primarily of software as the Prime Mission Product. Reference MIL-HDBK-881-A, (Appendix I - Common Elements) for detailed descriptions of specific activities to include/exclude in the common elements (Elements defined in Appendix I are elements common to all acquisition programs developed by the Department of Defense, e.g., IAT&C, SE/PM, ST&E, Training, and Data. The efforts associated with common elements should be placed at the level where they support a specific element. Common elements can be found at all levels of a WBS.)

Alternate MCS (AMCS) The AMCS is a physically separate backup facility for the MCS, and provides an alternate operating location when required. The AMCS provides full redundancy of all services provided by the MCS, and consists of the Alternate GPS Control Center (AGCC) and the Alternate GNOC (AGNOC). It is intended that all AMCS hardware for the AGCC be captured here under TT&C Subsystem (1.13), and that the hardware and COTS software for the AGNOC be captured in WBS 1.17– Data Analysis and Dissemination. The AMCS WBS element includes the design, development, and production a new OCX AMCS and modifications to that AMCS as OCX evolves, including procurement and assembly of hardware and development and material procurement for any required facility build-out modifications. The actual installation effort for the AMCS on-site is covered in WBS 1.9, OCX Operational Site Activation.

AMCS Hardware This WBS element includes all the AMCS hardware consisting of the network, computing processing hardware, routers, switches, servers, workstations, storage devices, trusted guards, and developing the applicable artifacts for those hardware items associated with the appropriate RTCA DO 254 levels of assurance as determined by Offeror and their proposed architecture.

AMCS Integration, Assembly, and Test This WBS element includes the resources associated with the integration, assembly, test, of the AMCS TT&C subsystem developed software, all TSF hardware, and COTS/GOTS software, and meeting the process objectives of RTCA DO 278 for the relevant levels of assurance as determined by the Offeror and their proposed architecture. Tasks associated with conducting the AMCS hardware/software element testing are included in this WBS element. This element includes all effort of technical and functional activities associated with the design, development, and production of mating surfaces, structures, equipment, parts, materials, and software required to assemble the Level 3 equipment (hardware/software) elements into a Level 2 mission equipment (hardware/ software) as a whole and not directly part of any other individual Level 3 element.

EXCLUDES: All systems engineering/program management and system test and evaluation which are associated with the overall system.

Mission Management Subsystem (Mission Planning) The OCX Mission Management Subsystem includes reception of tasking, generation of daily and long-term system plans and mission plans, generation of schedules and timelines for controlled satellites and ground facilities.

NOTE: The Mission Planning sections shall not include any hardware costs.
