Sample Task Order #1 (ECSTIM Support)

Reference: 1) Performance Work Statement for N00421-15-R-0016

1.0 Introduction

The Electronic Combat Stimulation (ECSTIM) Branch supports installed systems testing in a warfare environment using state–of–the–art stimulation and simulation technology. ECSTIM has a combination of laboratories that offers risk–reduction, compliance check and system performance for aircraft, their systems, and the warfighter. Each laboratory in ECSTIM has the capability of interfacing with a system under test to provide a suite of fully integrated and interactive systems in accurate and repeatable joint scripted mission environments using the virtual warfare environment. The ECSTIM laboratories can work independently or collectively to provide varying levels of test, evaluation, and analysis capabilities.

All of the laboratories in the ECSTIM Branch are capable of interfacing with a system under test located in the Advanced Systems Integration Laboratory (ASIL), the small anechoic chamber, shielded hangar, and other facility assets at the Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test Department (IBST) and the open air ranges. ECSTIM's laboratories provide realistic open–loop and / or closed–loop multi–spectral environment stimulation to Electronic Warfare (EW), sensor communications, navigation and identification systems during both developmental and operational testing. The facility hosts six labs that provide cost–efficient ground–testing capabilities for a multitude of programs across the DoD, commercial systems and aircraft. These labs include the Threat Air Defense Laboratory (TADL), Electronic Warfare Integrated Systems Test Laboratory (EWISTL), Electro Optic Infrared (EO/IR) Laboratory, Radar Laboratory, Modern Communication Laboratory (MCL) and the Communication Navigation Identification (CNI) Laboratory.
