C– 1.2. BACKGROUND

This SOW describes a variety of taskings which incorporate the three major subdivisions of EW: Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Warfare Support (ES), and Electronic Protection (EP). TEWD is tasked with performing research on Electronic

Warfare (EW) systems and the application of technologies to support the development and fielding of EW systems. Areas of specific interest include a broad spectrum of scientific research, engineering development, computer simulation, and direct technical liaison with US intelligence and armed services EW experts. TEWD is seeking Contractor technical support in a variety of disciplines and related applications. Services conducted under this SOW will concentrate on system research and development (R&D); RF engineering and fabrication; aeronautical engineering and unmanned vehicle development; mixed signal circuit design; digital signal processing; EA technique development; software development

(real-time DSP, real-time displays, and GUIs); mechanical engineering; information technology deployment and maintenance support; as well as fabrication, assembly, integration and testing of prototype EW systems and associated components; general design; modeling and simulation of EW concepts; development support (e.g., schematics, design documentation, and user and operator manuals); field test, exercise, system installation, and training support; and program management support. The required services include a number of interrelated tasks that vary in both their technical dimensions and deliverable product.

C– 1.3. SCOPE

The Contractor shall provide the person-hours of scientific, technical, and engineering support services and materials to perform the tasks described within this SOW. These tasks include systems engineering (hardware and software), systems analysis (hardware and software), and data collection and analysis.
