1. Background This statement of work is for the Contractor Services Support of the Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Integrated System Evaluation, Experimentation and Test (ISEET) Department (AIR-5.1) which provides flight test engineering, programmatic, and administrative support to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). ISEET remains focused on the needs and safety of the Navy and Marine Corps Warfighters while providing Customer Agencies (e.g. Program Management Activity (PMA), Program Executive Officer (PEO), NAVAIR Competencies, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), United States Coast Guard (USCG)) with the people, processes, facilities, and aircraft to support full life cycle program Testing and Evaluation (T&E). This support includes design, execution, analysis, evaluation, and reporting of tests and experiments of aircraft, unmanned air systems, weapons and weapons systems.
AIR-5.1 supports T&E Functional Teams (i.e. Integrated Program Teams (IPT), externally directed teams, and enterprise teams, etc…) that perform test & evaluation on Navy and other Customer Agency platforms, systems, and subsystems. ISEET personnel manage and staff the T&E efforts and are responsible for design, documentation, and maintaining the currency of the T&E processes, identification of critical program test elements, ensuring engineering veracity of the test data, definition of functional requirements for future test facilities, equipment, and instrumentation requirements. The principal ISEET focus is as Team Leads and Team Members on Functional Teams and Contractor personnel will support the ISEET mission through participation in the teams’ execution of the T&E strategies, planning, execution, monitoring and recording.
