STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

PUMA OPERATOR TRAINING

1 GENERAL

1.1 Background

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science &Technology (S&T) Directorate and the State of Oklahoma are currently partnering on the Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety (RAPS) project to test and evaluate Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) for potential use by the first responder community and DHS operational components. As a result of this ongoing effort, DHS operational components and first responder communities with a maritime mission have expressed a keen interest in developing a maritime version of the RAPS project. The Coast Guard (CG) Research and Development Center (RDC), through its continuing research into the application of UAS technology towards USCG missions, is partnering with DHS S&T in the development of a Robotic Aircraft for Maritime Public Safety (RAMPS) project to address this gap in the current DHS S&T effort. As a result of the RAPS and RAMPS efforts, a need for evaluating different SUAS platforms and payloads in the maritime environment has been identified.

The CG RDC is the only CG unit authorized to own and operate unmanned aircraft systems.

RDC has acquired several PUMA systems to assist in establishing CG specific CONOPS and tactics techniques and procedures for employing SUAS technologies for CG missions.

Therefore, RDC operators need to be qualified for operating these SUAS airframes.

1.2 Scope

The scope of this Statement of Work (SOW) includes PUMA Block II classroom and/or Computer Based Training (CBT) and flight evolutions for eight members to obtain a certification for operating a PUMA Block II system. The flight training will be completed at the Army National Guard, Camp Edwards facility located in Cape Cod, MA from Sunday March 20, 2016 thru Friday March 25, 2016. The Government will provide the restricted air space location (KD range), frequency authorization requirements for the PUMA system, and training room facility for this location and training dates.
