Performance Work Statement (PWS) GPS Engineering, Analysis & Remote Site Sustainment II

1 Introduction

The GPS Engineering, Analysis & Remote Site Sustainment II (GEARSS II) contract is the vehicle the GPS program sustainment organization (SMC/GPL) will use to satisfy the AFSPC/CC vision that all sustainment contracts for mission system maintenance and support would fall under SMC contract management and administration. SMC/GPL is chartered to ensure the Operational Control Segment (OCS) viability until the next generation control segment (OCX) effort is developed and fielded. GEARSS II provides organizational maintenance and operational support services to the operational unit that will include remote site technicians, Network Administrative Officers (NAO) and operations support.

1.1 Mission

Acquire, deliver and sustain reliable GPS and United States Nuclear-Detonation (NUDET) Detection System (USNDS) capabilities to America's warfighters, allies and civil users.

1.2 Background

The primary mission of the GPS is to provide precise, continuous, all-weather, three-dimensional position, velocity, and time (PVT) to properly equipped air, land, sea, and space based users. Civil applications include intercontinental in-route navigation (sea and air), vehicle monitoring, oceanic and coastal navigation, harbor operations, resource exploration, hydrographic and geophysical surveying, position reporting and monitoring, coordinating search operations and cell phone timing. The GPS satellites’ secondary payload, the USNDS, is a source of NUDET data for United States (US) military operations and treaty enforcement.

Three primary segments of GPS work together to accomplish the GPS mission: The Space Segment (SS) of GPS satellites, the Control Segment (CS) of GPS ground-based command, control, and communications (C3) and signal monitoring assets, and the User Segment of GPS devices that receive the satellite PVT data. The Space Segment consists of all GPS space vehicles (SVs) currently in orbit: Block IIA, IIR, IIR-M, and Block IIF. A future block (i.e., the Block III SVs) is currently under development. The CS commands and controls the SS to ensure it provides the users with the correct PVT information. The CS is operated on a daily basis by Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) 2nd Space Operations Squadron (2 SOPS) military and civilian personnel. Control Segment sustainment requires expertise in current space vehicle operation as well as the ability to operate and maintain the hardware and software of the CS itself.

The GCS sustainment contract was awarded on 13 December 2012 with contract start on 1 January 2013. The GCS contract was awarded for one base year with five option years and a six-month extension of services clause. The GCS and GEARSS contracts will provide essential operations, maintenance & sustainment support until the Next Generation OCS (OCX) is fielded. The GCS contract includes, but is not limited to Organizational Level Maintenance (OLM), Depot Level Maintenance, and Sustainment Engineering. GEARSS II provides organizational maintenance and

2 PWS: 05/24/2018

operational support services to the operational unit that will include remote site technicians, Network Administrative Officers (NAO) and operations support. These two efforts work in conjunction to ensure OCS viability prior to OCX fielding.

Additionally, the current GPS network consists of 2 each, dedicated, near T-1 speed circuits that run from either the GPS Master Control Station (MCS) or the Alternate Master Control Station (AMCS) to four remote sites for a total of 8 operational circuits. In addition there are seven external user circuits (High Accuracy Navigation User (HANU), United States Naval Observatory (USNO), Integrated Mission Operational Support Center (IMOSC), Operational Support System (OSS), Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), Integrated Correlation and Display System (ICADS), and Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN)), five circuits between the MCS and AMCS, four circuits between the MCS and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (AFS), FL and five other circuits (National Geospatial Agency (NGA) and test facilities) that are configured in the same manner as the operational circuits. This is a current total of approximately 30 circuits.

Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is the long haul communication provider for all these circuits and is responsible for the maintenance of the circuit from DISA’s Point of Presence (PoP), as designated by them, at the originating site to their PoP at the remote site.

The current OCS is comprised of three major elements: 1) the MCS and AMCS; 2) four dedicated Ground Antennas (GA); and 3) six Monitor Stations (MS). The MCS is located at Schriever Air Force Base (SAFB) and is the center for all on-orbit GPS mission control operations. The AMCS is located at Vandenberg AFB (VAFB). The four GAs are located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) Florida, Ascension Island (ASCN) in the South Atlantic, Diego Garcia (DIEGO) in the Indian Ocean, and Kwajalein Atoll (KWAJ) in the mid-Pacific. The six MSs are located at SAFB, Kaena Point in Hawaii, Ascension (ASCN), Diego Garcia (DIEGO), Kwajalein and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida.

OCX is anticipated to be delivered October 2022 (Objective)/October 2023 (Threshold). Once delivered, OCS and OCX will perform dual operations until the operational community formal accepts OCX. Additionally, OCX interim contractor support (ICS) is anticipated to begin when OCX is delivered and possible extend beyond operational acceptance (~18-30 months in length).

OCX will comprise the same three major elements as the OCS: 1) the MCS and AMCS; 2) four dedicated GAs; and 3) six MSs.

The MCS and AMCS are consolidated centers for the control and monitoring of the Space Segment. They are also the Command, Control and Communications (C3) centers for the OCS.

Only one of the Control Stations can be in control of the constellation at any one time. The OCS has Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) connectivity to all Automated Remote Tracking Station (ARTS) sites and provides full support to external users from both the MCS and AMCS.

The following paragraphs describe OCS assets which are subject to GEARSS II support (i.e., GEARSS II supported systems).

3 PWS: 05/24/2018

Master Control Station (MCS) and Alternate MCS (AN/FSQ-217)

The purpose of the MCS is to provide constellation management. The MCS collects navigation signals from each satellite, recalculates the satellite’s correct position and on-board atomic frequency standards (a.k.a. the atomic clock) corrections, and updates the navigation signal through upload commands. The MCS is responsible for operational maintenance of the GPS constellation. This responsibility requires the MCS to analyze the State of Health (SOH) of each satellite and to interpret associated navigation messages. The MCS is located in Module (MOD) 11 in Building 400 at SAFB.

The AMCS facility is located at VAFB. The AMCS is functionally identical to the AEP MCS, and serves as the backup to the MCS. As the backup to operations, the AMCS has direct connectivity to operational OCS resources and users. The AMCS is capable of performing all operations and planning normally conducted in the MCS.

GPS Information Network (GIN) (AN/FYN-1)

The GIN provides the CS a capability for 2 SOPS operators to assist military and civilian users and optimize their use of GPS. Located at Schriever AFB adjacent to the MCS and part of the overall OCS, it consists of an ensemble of hardware and software accessible via the internet to external users. A major aspect of GIN operations is support for US and coalition warfighters conducting missions which require time critical, high precision application of GPS capabilities.

Support for the GIN will be required 24/7.

Red Dragon Cyber Security Suite (RDCSS)

The RDCSS provides the 2 SOPS Defensive Cyber Operations team a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) capability. RDCSS supports threat detection and security incident response through the real-time collection and historical analysis of security events from a wide variety of event and contextual data sources within the OCS system. Located at Schriever AFB, it consists of a pair of user workstations and an ensemble of hardware and software. A relatively ‘new’ capability in support of protecting the 2 SOPS mission and OCS, RDCCS support will be required 24/7.

Ground Antennas (GA) (AN/FRC-178)

The GAs are a group of four dedicated GAs at remote sites that transmit commands to satellites and receive vehicle telemetry. The GAs have the capability to receive and store the commands from the MCS for later transmission.

Monitor Stations (MS) (AN/FSN-5)

The MSs are comprised of six GPS receiver stations at Remote Sites that collect L-Band signals and send the signals to the MCS. The MSs track each vehicle that comes into view. MCS personnel can select the satellites that are tracked by individual MSs. Data from the MSs are used by the MCS to update the navigation messages broadcast by each satellite, thus providing the most accurate navigation data to users.

4 PWS: 05/24/2018

GPS Support Facility (GSF)

The GSF is a facility in Building 400 at SAFB. The A/F24U-8 Maintenance Manual describes the primary function of the GSF as support for the MCS mission. The GSF is not an operational asset, but it provides resources for software testing and integration, and anomaly resolution. The GSF provides a system functionally identical to the MCS and hosts a GPS System Simulator for testing of software releases and system modifications.

GPS System Simulator (GSS)

The GSS in the GSF provides high fidelity simulations of an entire GPS constellation (up to 30 Block IIA, Block IIR, and Block IIR-M and IIF satellites), as well as 4 GAs and 20 MSs, 11 of which may be National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) stations. The GSS provides full command and response capabilities, interactive models, full environment simulation, and selected payload simulation. It provides flexible usage for software development, testing, anomaly resolution and analysis. Simulated GA inputs, such as telemetry and command verification, are also provided to the AEP system by the GSS.

Positional Training Emulator (PTE) (AN/FSQ-217-T)

The PTE is a classified trainer located in Building 400 at SAFB, which retains the training capabilities inherent in the AEP/GSS combination and adds capabilities specific to positional training and instructor control. The PTE provides a capability to train the following GPS operational crew positions: Payload Systems Operator (PSO), Satellite Systems Operator (SSO), and Satellite Vehicle Operator (SVO).

Launch and Early Orbit, Anomaly Resolution and Disposal Operations (LADO) Off-Line Trainer (LADO-OLT) (AN/FSQ-215)

The LADO Offline Trainer is a crew and position trainer for the LADO system. The LADO Offline Trainer simulates use of the Automated Remote Tracking Stations (ARTS) and the Space Vehicles (SVs) in order to train Air Force personnel in the operations of the LADO system. Through the use of developed scenarios, the LADO Offline Trainer provides training on Launch and Early Orbit (L/EO) support of Block IIR/IIR-M and IIF SVs, and anomaly resolution and disposal operations for all GPS SVs.

Telecommunications Simulators

The telecommunications simulators consist of hardware and software which simulate the SVs and are used for the sustainment of OCS software and hardware development, testing, checkout, software verification, cross-link and tri-link testing. Each satellite block has a separate telecommunications simulator provided by the manufacturer comprised of satellite hardware similar to the flight articles and buses from each of the respective satellite families. Maintenance of the telecommunications simulators is provided via a separate contract; however, test set up, including use of these assets, is within scope of this contract.

Telecommunications Simulator Test Station (TSTS) (AN/FSQ-200)

5 PWS: 05/24/2018

The TSTS is located adjacent to the GPS GA at CCAFS. The TSTS is comprised of the Monitor Station Test Station (MSTS) and the Radio Frequency Interface System (RFIS), Radio Frequency (RF) digitizers and communications equipment that interface with Ground Antenna Test Simulator (GATS) equipment in the Consolidated Test Environment (CTE). The TSTS also replicates most of the functions of an operational MS and provides the interface between the CTE/GSF and SV simulators. The TSTS consists of three shelters that also house the four Telecommunications Simulators: the Telecommunications Simulator Module (TSM Block II/IIA), Modernized Telecommunications Simulator (MTS - Block IIR), the Satellite Telecommunications Simulator (STS - Block IIF), and the GPS III Satellite Simulator (GSS – Block III).
