Space Electronic Systems Prototype Development - Statement of Work (SOW)

1 Introduction

This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes Contractor tasks related to space electronic systems prototype research and development for the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington D.C.

1.1 Vision

To aid and support NRL and the Spacecraft Engineering Division (SED) in conceiving, developing, and demonstrating space and aerospace systems and technology to meet Navy, DoD, and National needs.

1.2 Background

A primary objective of the Navy’s space research and development program is to preserve and enhance a strong space technology base and provide expert capabilities in the development and acquisition of space systems. To that end, NRL conducts a wide range of space technology studies, as well as space research and development projects.

These research efforts entail multi-disciplinary approaches to discovering and applying new knowledge and technologies to design, build, and operation of space, aerospace and other terrestrial technology systems.

1.3 Scope

This SOW focuses on supporting NRL space and airborne projects where the results of said efforts are of interest to the Navy. The major thrust of this SOW is to aid NRL in the research and prototype development of spacecraft electronics and space/airborne electronic systems, to include experiment, mission, and space flight systems. This effort includes the concept development through operational demonstration, and transition of these systems and subsystems, as well as the support required for integration and operation of these electronics as part of the overall mission.

The Contractor will undertake a wide range of spacecraft research, analysis, prototype development, integration, test, operation, demonstration, data processing and documentation to include associated logistical, administrative, management and support activities. The range of that support will include management activities (including sub-contract management, procurement, and inventory control); preliminary planning, analysis and design; general systems engineering; integrated test efforts; and launch/mission operations support. The Contractor’s support to each assigned project may vary from any one to the full range of activities.

2 Applicable Documents Copies of Military and Federal specifications, standards, drawings, handbooks, and publications are available in the official DoD repository, the ASSIST database (see http://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/). Other documents should be obtained from the procuring activity or as directed by the contracting officer.
