PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

NAVIFOR MARITIME OPERATIONS CENTER (MOC) TYCOM SUPPORT

INFORMATION WARFARE (IW) REQUIREMENTS AND PROGRAMS

1. BACKGROUND: Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR) supports the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC), Pacific Fleet and Combatant Commanders worldwide by providing responsive, relevant, sustainable Naval forces ready-for-tasking. NAVIFOR is responsible for the Man, Train, Equip (MT&E) functions for Navy and Joint IW capabilities across all domains and levels of warfare that provide operational and planning support to Combatant Commanders and integrated warfighter capability requirements to the CNO.

In collaboration with USFFC and Pacific Fleet, NAVIFOR organizes, mans, trains, maintains, and equips Navy forces, develops and submits budgets, and executes readiness and personnel accounts to develop both required and sustainable levels of Fleet readiness. Additionally, the command serves as the unified voice for Fleet training requirements and policies to generate combat-ready Navy forces per the Fleet Response Plan using the Fleet Training Continuum.

This PWS specifies tasks and deliverables as they relate to the core functions of NAVIFOR N8 IW Programs and Requirements directorate, NAVIFOR Operational Level of War / Maritime Operations Center (OLW/MOC) Requirements and Force Development Branch for the period of performance.

To accomplish its mission, NAVIFOR performs the following in support of OLW/MOC:

Coordinates Fleet assessment of OLW/MOC capabilities and gaps in support of the Navy PPBE process.

Provides recommendations for development and transition of new OLW/MOC capabilities.

Chairs the Fleet MOC Standardization Council (FMSC) Requirements Working Group to continuously improve operational level Command and Control (C2) effectiveness and MOC wholeness. MOC wholeness rests on a framework by which Navy Fleet and Component Commanders exercise C2 through common processes and systems that enable interoperability and effective collaboration with joint, adjacent, and subordinate commands.

Collaborates with stakeholders, such as NWDC, NWC, PEO-C4I, USFFC, OPNAV N2/N6, SMWDC, NCCs, and NFCs to provide recommendations for the integration of DOTMLPF-P solutions.

2. SCOPE: Contractor support for NAVIFOR will provide a broad range of technical services to address wholeness gaps and OLW manpower, personnel, training and education (MPT&E) issues across the range of OLW/Maritime Operations Center (MOC) activities as articulated in the annual OLW/MOC Integrated Priorities Capability List (IPCL). Specifically, contractor support will work MPT&E and capability assessment issues identified in the OLW/MOC IPCL to develop solutions in the areas of operational planning, operational assessment, maritime targeting, and the integration of kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities. Contractor will also provide the C2 and maritime fires expertise necessary to collaborate with OLW stakeholders and engage MOC personnel via the FMSC Requirements Working Group and mission area capability assessments in the areas of C2, BMD and maritime fires in order to refine capability gaps and identify or develop appropriate solutions across the DOTMLPF-P spectrum.

3. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS: United States Fleet Forces Missions Functions and Tasks, Aegis Ashore Concept of Employment, Navy Ballistic Missile Defense Enterprise Charter, Overarching Guidance for Interaction between the United States Navy (USN) and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) regarding Development, Testing, and Transition and Transfer of Maritime Ballistic Missile Defense Elements and Components, Aegis Ashore Annex to the Overarching Guidance for Interaction between the USN and MDA.
