SPECIFIC TASKS

5. SPECIFIC TASKS: The contractor shall support the CP&ID PI&TD’s C4ISR prototyping, integration and test efforts in a variety of technical areas during the execution of its various current and planned tri-service Military Systems prototyping and prototype systems integration programs. By their very nature, the individual prototype project requirements and duration of each project vary and are undefined until the system proponent identifies a need or requirement that may include engineering, three dimensional (3D) modeling/computer aided design, virtual prototyping, fabrication, computer aided manufacturing, installation, assembly, integration, technology insertion, environmental testing, logistics, material acquisition, or other related activities. Most projects start out with an inexact set of requirements that are refined and adjusted as the effort progresses. The contractor shall be able to respond to these changing needs within a time-constrained and aggressively-scheduled environment that meet delivery timeframes.
