TABLE OF CONTENTS

1.0 SCOPE

This Test Resources Directorate (DTR) Instrumentation Support Contract (DISC) X-Band Transportable Radar (XTR-1) Performance Work Statement (PWS) covers specialized support services provided for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). This supports Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) of Missile Defense System (MDS) flight tests and other related Department of Defense (DoD) activities.

XTR-1 support requirements include three primary areas: 1) XTR-1 Mission and Test Execution, 2) XTR-1 Operation and Sustainment (O&S), and 3) XTR-1 Program Management. The overarching goal of this PWS is to provide XTR-1 support in accordance with schedules and locations for missiles system tests in all phases of flight.

1.1 Background

The MDA developed the XTR-1 radar system to support its MDS flight tests over the broad ocean area (BOA). The XTR-1 is installed onboard the ship SS Pacific Tracker (PT).

This requirement is for support of flight test instrumentation systems and equipment participating in high visibility and complex BMDS flight tests. MDA may require deployment and employment of flight test instrumentation equipment and services mission support in the BOA, DoD test ranges near the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans, and other remote sites and locations worldwide.

In support of MDA Flight Test Execution, XTR-1 could be scheduled to support five (5) or more thirty-day deployments per year. As the mission schedule changes, some missions could be scheduled such that the PT might be gone from home port (Portland Oregon) for more than 90 days, with some port calls at Hawaii or other locations for resupply. The XTR-1 operator team also provides planning, operation, limited maintenance, data collection and recording, limited data analysis, pre- and post-mission calibrations, and contributes to the creation of mission data packages.

The following documents apply to the work under this contract, and will be provided by the Government. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) may provide additional documentation over the course of the contract.

a) Security Classification Guides

b) Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) v21.1

3.3.1.14 The contractor shall perform all required vulnerability scans, system updates, and upgrades as documented in each system’s security plan, policy documents, in accordance with the system’s standard operating procedures, and DoD and MDA guidance.

3.3.1.15 The contractor shall ensure a current Authorization to Operate (ATO) is in place for each system for all missions. For each mission, the contractor shall identify any interconnections, new requirements, or other changes to the system baseline to support a test event and document the exception accordingly for proper approval for test execution.

3.3.2.2 The contractor shall perform on-site operation of XTR to collect and record data to meet mission-specific requirements for a variety of MDA missions. The contractor shall provide additional support for radar system operation during MDA missions. The contractor shall provide radar architecture analysis, design, and operation, which includes, but not limited to, pre- and post-mission calibrations, search, antenna control, signal acquisition, tracking, receiver programming, data collection and recording, and system interface with other MDA mission and range instrumentation systems. The contractor shall perform post-mission data processing and data product distribution.

3.3.2.2.1 The contractor shall perform on-site operation of XTR-1 to perform all tasks and functions associated with radar operation and radar data collection during MDA missions. The contractor shall provide radar mission planning, in the form of Mission Support Plans (MSP), to the XTR-1 Test Director and operator team. A draft MSP shall be made available 60 days prior to start of pre-mission/mission walk-up activities and a final MSP at 30 days prior to start of pre-mission events.

3.3.2.2.2 The contractor shall provide and maintain a weather balloon launch capability which supports radar calibration requirements. The contractor shall support and perform pre-mission planning and preparation activities such as procurement of consumables, and site/ship-board inspection of balloon launch facilities to ensure balloon and radiosonde support facilities are mission-ready. The contractor shall ensure XTR-1 team members are trained and available to support at sea during pre-mission and mission activities requiring balloon launches. The contractor shall identify corrective actions needed and, upon approval, shall purchase, install, and test systems related to balloon launch on the PT. The contractor shall coordinate all safety actions with the COR prior to making any changes.

3.3.2.2.3 The contractor shall provide field services for XTR-1. The contractor shall provide additional personnel as mission-specific operators capable of operating XTR-1 for MDA missions. Operation of XTR-1 generally includes system operation (radar performance data analysis, radar bias model creation, pre- and post-mission calibration, and radar metric data analysis based on satellite tracking exercises), data collection and recording, and system interface with other MDA mission and range instrumentation systems.

3.3.2.2.4 The contractor shall form and maintain a proficient radar operation team to execute missions in accordance with MDA approved Mission Execution plans and/or Mission Support Plans. MDA anticipates that the contractor may need to provide additional temporary personnel to deploy mission-by-mission. In most cases, the additional temporary personnel will not provide sustaining effort until tasked for the next mission. The contractor shall also establish and provide an extensive “reach back” capability within its organization and subcontractors to ensure the availability of the required skill mix for each mission.

3.3.2.3 The contractor shall perform radar engineering to configure or re-configure XTR to fulfill MDA Mission Requirements.

3.3.2.3.1 The contractor shall provide engineering, test, troubleshooting, repair, and operation of XTR-1 to meet mission-specific requirements provided by the Government for a variety of MDA missions.

3.3.2.4 The contractor shall provide mission readiness training for personnel fulfilling XTR-1 Test Director and/or radar operator roles. Training to be held on site at the XTR-1 or future training facility.

The objective of this effort is to acquire systems engineering and test resource engineering support that will span the entire life cycle of the described systems or capabilities for which MDA/DTR has responsibility. Operations and sustainment support is defined as the activity necessary to define concepts, define requirements, plan, manage, develop, procure, sustain, modify, improve, test, train, field, and retire systems and system computer resources in a time frame necessary to meet MDA needs.
