The primary focus of this contract shall be delivery of tactical systems to the warfighter. The purpose of this requirement is to provide prototype development, hardware fabrication, hardware for hardware prototype or prototype higher volume units and kits, and project management. Specifically, the Contractor shall provide engineering design, development, and testing. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide drawing development, bill of material development, fabrication, design analysis, and manufacturability analysis.

C.4 REQUIREMENTS

C.4.1 PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT

C.4.1.1 The Contractor shall provide prototype development, which includes all or any portion of the hardware development cycle, up to and including the development of a complete prototype system. Prior to commencement of prototype development, the Government will provide the detailed specifications for each required prototype.

Components of the prototype development cycle include concept development, requirements collection, system design, systems engineering, material specification development, material acquisition, environmental resiliency design, prototype development, prototype testing, systems integration, systems testing, and systems functional demonstration based on performance requirements as documented in individual Delivery/Task Orders.

The desired prototypes consist of hardware components including weapons controls systems, command and fire control systems, control box assemblies, training panel assemblies, cables, printed wiring assemblies, antennas, customized testing equipment, enclosures, and electronic racks that physically support the hardware which will be mounted in a variety of aircraft, ships, and vehicles.

C.4.1.2 Each prototype system developed, tested, and maintained shall be part of a comprehensive package, including all hardware design tool outputs (e.g., 3D hardware models, assemblies, parts, drawings, bills of materials, etc.), circuit board design tool outputs (e.g., Altium Designer project, Gerber files, bills of materials, etc.) along with related test procedures and user/maintainer documentation. Prototype development, enhancements, testing, and maintenance deliverables will be identified in individual Delivery/Task Orders. (CDRL A007)

C.4.1.3 The Contractor shall provide deliverable documentation such as technical specifications and Requirement

Traceability Matrixes (RTM), which list and describe all requirements for the prototype system, status on whether the current version meets those requirements, and the assigned priority for each requirement. The RTM shall document requirements currently met, those expected to be met in the current version, and any deferred requirements to facilitate project completion tracking. Specific deliverable documentation will be defined in individual Delivery/Task Orders. Additional requirements may be solicited after each subsequent version of the prototype and documented via revisions to technical specifications as directed by individual Delivery/Task Orders and change requests as approved by the Government.

The intent of the production drawings is to convey sufficient information and detail to move the prototype assembly into subsequent initial outfitting. The Contractor shall initially release the data package to the Government with the delivery of the first article system with incremental baseline updated releases to be delivered throughout the development and prototype pre-production effort based on Government approved change requests and Engineering

Change Notices (ECN). Once a prototype stabilizes and can move into full production, the prototype will be competitively procured under a separate Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Delivery Order.

C.4.1.4 The Contractor shall conduct testing. Delivery/Task Orders will define all testing requirements to be conducted for the qualification of fabricated assemblies. The Delivery/Task Orders will define responsibility

(Contractor, Government or joint) for development and execution of Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) and

Hardware Certification Test (HCT). In more mature designs, the Government will be able to provide these types of tests to the Contractor. In earlier stages of TDP development, the Contractor will not be given these types of tests.

C.4.1.5 The Contractor shall deliver all prototypes and associated intellectual property developed under this contract with a minimum of Government Purpose Rights; no Contractor proprietary hardware or software may be used without the advance concurrence of the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer. The

Contractor shall identify and document proprietary components used in the prototype pre-production of the systems prior to integration.

C.4.1.6 The Contractor shall attend meetings with other Contractors and Government agencies but in no way shall represent the Government.

C.4.1.7 The Contractor shall conduct pre-development and development efforts by scheduling, coordinating, and participating in team meetings, recommending process improvements, assisting in managing agendas, and facilitating topic closures, and recording Government decisions/actions. The Contractor shall attend briefings and meetings, draft detailed notes and action items, and compose and distribute minutes documenting action items, discussions, and decisions reached. (CDRL A002, A003)

C.4.1.8 The Contractor shall identify long lead time parts or parts that appear to be near end-of-life (obsolete) during the rapid prototyping phases. The purpose of this is so that the Government can order these parts sooner than the production Delivery Orders or do lifetime buys, and provide them as Government Furnished Material (GFM) for future Delivery Orders. After the issuance of a Delivery Order, the Contractor shall procure long lead time part hardware and kits for specified systems. (CDRL A009)

C.4.1.9 The Contractor shall provide organizational development, performance improvement, strategic planning, and risk assessment. The Contractor shall maintain a risk tracking database and provide risk status reporting with the

Monthly Progress Report. The Contractor shall identify cost saving measures for each Delivery/Task Order and shall document the cost savings plan in the Monthly Progress Report. (CDRL A001, A009)

C.4.1.10 Onsite hardware efforts may be required of Contractor personnel with specific skill sets. Onsite locations are considered to be at NSWCDD. For on-site support, the Contractor shall design and integrate hardware systems, integrate configuration management and workflow tools, trouble shoot hardware systems, disassemble and assemble hardware and hardware kits, add new components to hardware or hardware kits, customize equipment, machine equipment, package and ship items, develop drawings and specification, conduct other activities associated with successfully deploying hardware prototype or prototype pre- production units and kits, and perform joint ATPs and other quality control measures. (CDRL A007, A009, A00A)
