Solicitation Number: N00421-21-R-0109

1 Scope

The Digital Analytics, Infrastructure and Technology Advancement (DAiTA) Group is the Naval Air Warfare Center- Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD) center of excellence and point–of–entry for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of the synthetic battlespace environment, modeling and simulation, aircraft prototyping, instrumentation and experimentation, electronic warfare and cyberwarfare and provides the associated laboratories, facilities and infrastructure to support research, development, testing, training, systems evaluation and experimentation. The Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test (IBST) Department, under the DAiTA Group, is the Naval Air Systems Command’s (NAVAIR) center of excellence for modeling and simulation of the Battlespace environment. The Simulation Division (SD), legacy NAWCAD 5.4.3, is one of three divisions within IBST and is responsible for simulation expertise and products for naval aviation systems and the Battlespace environment within which they operate. Simulation is used throughout the acquisition lifecycle to reduce risk and improve the quality of naval aviation systems.

The Simulation Division operates a number of laboratories, which are for activities that include research and development of requirements for aviation systems, supporting system development, providing developmental and operational flight test support, and providing life-cycle operational support to include system enhancement, procedure refinement, and accident investigations.

Current Simulation Division laboratories include:

Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) facility, E-2 Systems Test and Evaluation Lab (ESTEL), P-8 Systems Integration Lab (PAXSIL), Unmanned Air System (UAS) Integration Lab, Warfare Simulation Lab, Joint Simulation Environment Lab, Executive Helicopter Systems Integration Lab (SIL), and H-60 Data Reduction Lab.

These laboratories are also used to research, design, implement, deploy simulation initiatives that include common architectures and interfaces, cross-platform communications, Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) events, air system stimulation, simulation Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) activities and hardware in the loop RDT&E activities. Simulation Division laboratories interact with and provide simulation support for other laboratories, programs, and activities as required to meet customer requirements.

This contract is a single award contract to provide RDT&E laboratory technical support and business operations and management activities, administrative support, and non-technical facility operations support for the Simulation Division, all associated laboratories, the projects supported by these laboratories, simulation based initiatives, and other associated activities.
