PERFORMANCE BASED STATEMENT OF WORK

NAVAL TEST WING ATLANTIC UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS TEST DIRECTORATE AIRCREW, ENGINEERING, OPERATIONS, AND SCHEDULING SUPPORT SERVICES

1.0 INTRODUCTION (Background)

Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL), an echelon four command of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), is a responsible cognizant authority for active test and evaluation (T&E) and participation in all phases of the weapon system life cycle process for unmanned aerial systems. NTWL executes flight management of these activities and air vehicles through authority delegated to the subordinate Air Test and Evaluation Activity. This unit is designated UAS Test Directorate when assigned for command and control by NTWL. The test articles are provided to NWTL and its test activity through several methods. The primary source of assignment is by a major program office for the development, procurement and sustainment of Navy, Marine or Joint Force use systems. However, other sources of assignment of articles subjected to T&E by NTWL are other service components of the Department of Defense, foreign national defense and commercial systems, other US government agencies engaged in flight operations, as well as commercial aviation flight activities. The scope and complexity of these test articles are not limited to full scale air vehicle systems. NTWL provides full system spectrum test capability from complete aircraft down to sub-system components, expendable weapon, sensor, and deception articles and flight worthy software designed to operate and configure the system and its components.

1.1 NWTL is the resource manager charged with reducing the risks associated with the hazards of flight as well as ground operations around flight equipment. The level of risk that will be experienced in the conduct of test flying is expressed in categories ranging from A, B, C and on occasion D (low to high). It is imperative the contractor understand the specialized nature of flight crew support requirements; contractor flight crew must meet and maintain physical requirements of the U.S. Navy. Current NAVAIRINST 3710.1 series stipulates physical and physiological minimums required for contractor aircrew positions. In compliance with NAVTESTWINGLANTINST 3710.7 series, governing Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division General Flight and Operating Instructions is applicable. To mitigate these risks, NTWL desires the most qualified, experienced and current personnel within its work force. The work force required to address and mitigate risk involves the application of skills that facilitate the tasks involved with every facet of the test event. These include planning (near and long term, daily, and un-programmed), scheduling (test assets, support facilities and equipment) and test crews (ground and flight)), test article preparation, briefing, pre-flight, flight, post flight, and debrief (including post flight test result analysis and reporting). In addition, gathering metrics related to flight scheduling, aircrew currency and qualification, and resource utilization are considered essential components of the entire flight test risk management system. The requirements of this statement of work include all of these phases and supporting tasks except test article preparation. The complexity of today’s flight test scenarios in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) community and the constant changes that are associated with RDT&E flying require constant monitoring, scheduling, frequency management and flight operations coordination.

1.2 The business of flight test presents challenges that typify project management. Unique skills are usually required in an asynchronous manner with peaks and valleys dependent on the perturbations inherent in system acquisition. Additionally, the most desirable human assets to fill these skill requirements are real user group members brought in to the Test Wing after considerable training investment and sacrifice by their fleet communities. NTWL is in constant competition for these resources while worldwide commitment for our military forces remains high, budgets are thin, and fleet units tasked at unprecedented levels. For these reasons, a contracted aviation service work force is feasible, desirable and affordable when considered an investment returned in schedule achieved to get the best equipment out to the Warfighter. In addition, the right contracted work force, one that is already trained, experienced (both in test and warfare specialty), and engrained with the best business practice of process discipline, brings both the opportunity to meet test commitments, and achieve the goal of safe flight operation.

1.3 The following types of funding will be utilized to support this contract:

1.3.1 Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding is used to pay the operating costs of dedicated activities engaged in the conduct of research, development, and test and evaluation efforts performed by a contractor and/or government organization.

1.3.2 Operation and Maintenance, Navy(O&MN) appropriations are used to finance “expenses” not related to military personnel or RDT&E. Types of expenses funded by O&MN appropriations include: DoD civilian salaries, supplies and materials, maintenance of equipment, certain equipment items, real property maintenance, rental of equipment and facilities, food, clothing, and fuel.

1.3.3 The Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) fund is a separate pot of funding operated by the Department of Defense and the State Department, in addition to their "base" budgets (i.e., their regular peacetime budgets).

1.3.4 Aircraft Procurement, Navy (APN) funds are appropriated for the procurement and modification of naval aircraft and support equipment, including training devices/systems. This investment appropriation is divided into seven Budget Activities and is available for obligation for three year’s plus five more years for adjustments’ and expenditure.
