Air Vehicle Test and Evaluation Division (AVED) Support Services Statement of Work

1.0 BACKGROUND

This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes the requirements for contractor support services for the Air Vehicle Test & Evaluation Division (AIR-5.1.6) of the Integrated System Evaluation, Experimentation & Test (ISEET) Department (AIR-5.1) of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). NAVAIR Integrated Product Teams (IPT) task ISEET to perform test and evaluation engineering, which includes research and development, systems analysis and engineering, prototyping, and integration of warfare systems into Naval Aircraft and aviation subsystems. The Air Vehicle Test & Evaluation Division is responsible for test of air vehicles (manned or unmanned), as well as those systems related to and associated with the air vehicle, for example landing systems, weapon systems, in-flight refueling systems, etc. The AIR-5.1.6 Division is a competency aligned organization and provides personnel with air vehicle test and evaluation expertise to participate, lead and support test teams tasked to execute test programs. Contractor support established under this work description will supplement AIR-5.1.6 Division led test teams. Government and contractor personnel will work together as a joint effort in the execution of air vehicle test activities supporting projects assigned by Division leadership.

The AIR-5.1.6 Division is organized into four major air vehicle test disciplines. Competencies composed of highly trained personnel are aligned within these four test disciplines:

1. AEROMECHANICS AND FLIGHT CONTROLS T&E: The people, processes and facilities necessary for teams to conduct fixed and rotary wing aircraft ground and flight test in the areas of stability and control, flight controls, performance, structures, loads, flutter, and dynamics.

2. AIR VEHICLE/STORE COMPATIBILITY T&E: The people, processes, and facilities necessary for teams to conduct fixed and rotary wing aircraft ground and flight test in the areas of vehicle/store compatibility including aircraft armament systems, their externally and internally carried stores, and items which are released or dispensed from the aircraft. Systems tested include armament release and control systems, stores suspension and release equipment, internal and external guns, towed and powered targets, air-launched weapons, air-launched expendables, and pods. Types of work include physical/electrical/structural interface, form fit and function flight captive carriage tests, weapon separation tests, ballistic accuracy tests, fragment hazard analysis, generation of safe escape data weapon delivery parameters, Tactical Manual weapons descriptions, development of weapon employment data, and Tactical Manual engineering support.

3. SHIP SUITABILITY AND LANDING SYSTEMS T&E: The people, processes, and facilities necessary for teams to conduct fixed and rotary wing aircraft ground and flight test in the areas of air vehicle compatibility with shipboard operating environments, shipboard launch and recovery systems, and shipboard and shore based air traffic control and landing systems. The support includes aircraft handling qualities and performance characteristics, structural and functional integrity, and aircraft compatibility with launch and recovery equipment for manned and unmanned, conventional and V/STOL, fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Air Traffic and Control and Landing System support includes RDT&E and certification of sea-based air traffic control and landing systems; satellite-based systems, compatibility of manned and unmanned air vehicles and related aircraft avionics subsystems. Aircraft evaluations include approach handling qualities, engine/approach power performance, avionics receivers, data processors, sensors, automatic flight control systems, takeoff and landing cockpit displays, landing systems data links, radar transponders, antenna performance and total integrated system performance.

4. INSTALLED PROPULSION, POWER, AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS T&E: The people, processes, and facilities necessary for teams to conduct fixed and rotary wing aircraft ground and flight test in the areas of aircraft propulsion, power and mechanical systems. Testing includes systems/subsystems as installed in the aircraft. These systems include: inlet, engine, exhaust, and control systems and the interfaces of the propulsion systems with the air vehicle, hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, environmental/avionics conditioning, auxiliary power, drive, gear box, internal and external cargo, aerial refueling, and ram air turbine systems.

AIR-5.1.6 provides test services to programs such as the F-35, P-8, X-47, UCLASS, F/A-18, EA-6B, AV-8B, V-22, T-45, tactical reconnaissance, and unmanned air vehicles.
