PERFORMANCE BASED SOW

1. BACKGROUND

1.1. This Performance Based Work Statement (PBWS) details Carrier Strike Group Four’s (CSG-4) requirement for the flight services of a high performance twin propeller aircraft with the primary capability for Link-16 interference and High Frequency (HF)/Ultra High Frequency (UHF) to UHF communications relay for the Harry S. Truman (HST) Composite Training Unit Exercise (C2X). These exercises shall require the capabilities defined by the Government, profiles of realistic conditions that replicate the scale, diversity, and complexity of operational threats currently encountered during overseas combat deployments.

2. SCOPE

2.1. The Government will provide flight profiles designed to enhance Fleet training with Link-16 interference and/or HF/UHF to UHF relay communications.

2.2. The Contractor’s service shall include engineering and technical support as required to develop and field the Link training tool. The focus of these tasks is to create a challenging link environment to allow Strike Group and air Wing assets to exercise their Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) and to support CSG-4’s assessment of the training audience’s performance.

2.3. The Contractor shall fly non-tactical profiles and provide engineering services at specified locations as defined by the Government. Event durations will vary. However, a typical mission will consist of a four hour flight operating 100 Nautical Miles (nm) off shore. It is estimated that the Government will require eight (8) events. Each event will require a maximum of 240 flight minutes; flight minutes for 8 events will be approximately 1920 flight minutes for HST C2X training missions. (Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001)
