AAV Survivability Upgrade Statement of work

1. Scope This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the work scope associated with the AAV Survivability Upgrade Program. It includes all efforts associated with the Preliminary Design Review (PDR), the Critical Design Review (CDR), Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Prototype Build (Option, if exercised), Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Build (Option, if exercised), and Test Support CLINs for both EMD and LRIP Vehicles (Option, if exercised). The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), Attachment 12, shows the paragraph numbers and the associated CLIN(s) for this effort.

BACKGROUND

The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) is the United States Marine Corps (USMC) self-deploying, fully amphibious combat vehicle that supports the Joint Force and the Marine Air Ground Task Force in conducting operations across the full Range of Military Operations. Originally fielded in 1972, the AAV is the oldest vehicle platform in the USMC inventory. Since 1972, the vehicle has undergone major modernization efforts in the areas of Land Mobility, Reliability, Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence (C4I) and Lethality. Currently, the AAV does not provide the crew and embarked Marines the level of protection necessary to operate in contemporary combat environments where there is a high probability of encountering Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

The AAV Survivability Upgrade Program is required to improve force protection and restore operational relevance to the USMC AAV Personnel Carrier variant platform. This program is intended to mitigate gaps in the performance until a comprehensive capability material solution can be provided in the 2025 – 2030 timeframe. The AAV Family of Vehicles (FoVs) will be in service until at least 2030. The requirement is to upgrade 396 P7 AAV Reliability, Availability and Maintainability/Replenishment Spares (RAM/RS). The desired upgrades include:

· Improved underbelly and sponson protection

· Integrated blast attenuating seats

· Integrated spall liners The AAV Survivability Upgrade Program is an Acquisition Category (ACAT) III Program and it is expected to move quickly through the acquisition life cycle to meet the required timelines of the USMC, fill the current capability gap, and to limit cost growth.

The report shall contain the verification of each requirement, the method by which the requirement was verified (by test, demonstration, inspection, or analysis activities), and the supporting documentation that demonstrates how the Contractor reached their conclusion the requirement was met. For requirements verified by demonstration, inspection, and test, the report shall also include the location of the event, date of the event, and shall include applicable plans used for verification. The Contractor shall prepare and submit the Contractor Verification Report in accordance with CDRL A029.

MODELING AND SIMULATION

The Contractor shall use Modeling and Simulation (M&S) to achieve AAV Survivability Upgrade objectives. M&S shall be used to improve, streamline, and reduce the cost, schedule and technical risk of engineering development, test and evaluation, logistics support, combat system development, and training.

RELIABILITY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

RELIABILITY PROGRAM PLAN

The Contractor shall develop and implement a Reliability Program Plan (RPP) that captures and addresses the following four (4) objectives as they apply to the AAV Survivability Upgrade design:

1) Understand system requirements

2) Develop a balanced design solution for the AAV Survivability Upgrade design given tiered System Specification requirements and cost constraint while utilizing design for reliability best practices

3) Produce reliable systems

4) Monitor and assess field reliability The content of the RPP shall address the Contractor’s reliability strategy, risks, schedule, and outputs. The strategy shall ensure reliability is a key design consideration during the design development effort to ensure a balanced design approach is achieved given tiered requirements and cost constraints. Verification shall be based on analysis, modeling & simulation, testing, or a mixture, and shall be operationally realistic. The 12.5 Hour Automotive Mission profile, Attachment 9, and Failure Definition /Scoring Criteria (FD/SC), Attachment 10, are provided to the Contractor. The Contractor shall plan and conduct activities to ensure that the achievements of reliability and availability requirements are achievable by design and shown at each technical review.

Reliability assessments shall be made based on data from analysis, M&S, test, or a mixture, and shall be tracked as a function of time and compared against reliability allocations and Government reliability requirements. The Contractor shall monitor and evaluate the reliability impact of Contractor changes to the design or manufacture of the system. The implementation of corrective actions shall be documented and their effectiveness tracked. The Contractor shall utilize formal reliability growth methodology where applicable (e.g., when failure modes are discovered and addressed with a test-analyze-and-fix process that is applied to complex assemblies) in order to plan, track, and project reliability improvement.

The Contractor shall have an integrated team, including suppliers of assemblies, subassemblies, components, COTS, NDI, and GFE, as applicable, analyze all mission failure modes arising from modeling, analysis, or test, in order to formulate corrective actions.

Failure modes shall be mitigated by one or more of the following approaches:

1. Eliminating the failure mode

1. Reducing its occurrence probability or frequency

1. Incorporation of redundancy

1. Mitigation of failure effects (e.g., fault recovery, degraded modes of operation, providing advance warning of failure) The Contractor shall root cause and mitigate failure modes to ensure the reliability requirements are successfully verified. Failure modes that are expected to occur during the system life cycle shall be included in the system reliability model. The Contractor shall prepare and submit a RPP in accordance with CDRL A032.

failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis The Contractor shall implement and maintain a FMECA process throughout the Contract lifecycle. The Contractor shall perform FMECA’s on all upgrade affected subsystems and components.

The Contractor shall prioritize the component FMECAs on mission critical and safety critical components of the AAV Survivability Upgrade to ensure efficient and effective use of cost and schedule resources. The Contractor shall prepare and submit FMECA Report in accordance with CDRL A023.
