MEAD WINN-TS Services - Sources Sought DRAFT SOW- 12172020.pdf

1 Introduction

1.1 BACKGROUND

The Mission Engineering & Analysis Department (MEAD), a department within the Digital Analytics Infrastructure and Technology Advancement (DAiTA) Group under the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), provides the analysis, development, sustainment of permanent flight clearance data products, materials to support the fleet introduction of updated or new weapons systems, development of training materials and curriculums, and subject matter expertise to support fleet introduction and “train the trainer” activities.

The MEAD Weapons Integration Naval Aviation Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) and Naval Aviation Technical Information Product (NATIP) (WINN) team is the responsible organization to support these requirements. The WINN Team provides data products for the employment of weapons systems through the development of materials for the operator to safely and effectively employ the aircraft and its weapon systems, facilitating publication updates for new equipment authorized on aircraft as well as updating and maintaining published information for existing equipment and stores as well as the development of training products, courseware and curriculums and providing associated subject matter expertise.

NATIP publications consist of permanent flight clearances, flight restrictions, and engineering data such as tactical combat system descriptions, controls and displays, system operation and operating constraints, system employment and employment constraints, effective employment envelopes, and various checklists. The NATIP publications serve as the engineering basis for their tactical counterpart publications, the Naval Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (NTTP) Manuals and the TOPGUN Manual, developed by Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC), and the Tactical Standard Operating Procedures Manual, developed by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron ‐1 (MAWTS‐1) (MAWTS TAC‐SOP).

Additionally, several Program Offices have production milestone requirements to provide Fleet Introduction Presentation and “Train‐ the‐Trainer” instructor training materials (including mission planning, safety‐of‐flight, tactical execution, and in‐flight guide). Increased complexity of aircraft systems and tactics requires advanced training activities to allow integration and effective employment by Fleet aircrew

1.2 SCOPE

This contract is to address advanced aircraft platform weapons systems employment and permanent/interim flight clearance product requirements and platform software development to allow effective employment of combat systems by Fleet aircrew. These efforts include translation of existing and new OEM/Government source materials to create new NATOPS and NATIP products and maintaining published products’ currency. The scope of this effort encompasses the following general activities:

(1) NATOPS, NATIP, weapon and mission system Component Manual Production and Configuration Management‐ Analysis, review, definition and execution of formally documented NAVAIR and other command processes to create and sustain effective technical information products to support Fleet tactical system employment.

(2) Fleet liaison / subject matter expertise to ensure consistent and complementary technical and tactical information flow of information between NAVAIR and Fleet centers of excellence for aviation training and tactics development.

(3) Fleet software and new systems Introduction and Train the Trainer presentation development and delivery to aircrew at Fleet centers of excellence for aviation training and tactics development and Fleet concentration centers.

(4) Provide subject matter expert technical support to instructors, acquisition offices, and fleet community on the introduction and deployment of new and/or upgrades of weapon systems..

This contract is a single award indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity contract to support the mission of the DAiTA Group, the MEAD Department and the associated Naval Aviation Weapons Systems Integration, NATOPS, NATIPS and Technical Support Services requirements. Specific requirements will be derived from the scope of this SOW and documented through individual Task Orders (TO).
