The NATOPS provides standardized aircraft operating procedures, limitations, technical data, and training requirements necessary for safe and effective operation of the aircraft model or aviation support activity. The NATIP provides critical technical data and limitations for all weapons, weapon systems, avionics, and mission systems required to enable operator to safely and effectively employ the aircraft weapon and mission systems.

Due to increased complexity of aircraft systems and tactics, and production milestone requirements for Fleet Introduction Presentation and “train the trainer” instructor training materials (including mission planning, safety-of-flight, tactical execution, and in-flight guides), advanced training activities are needed to allow integration and effective employment by Fleet aircrew.

SCOPE

This contract is to address advanced aircraft platform weapons systems employment and permanent/interim flight clearance product requirements affected by store and platform software changes to allow effective employment of combat systems by Fleet aircrew. These efforts include translation of existing and new Original Equipment Manufacturer/Government source materials to create new NATOPS and NATIP products and maintaining published products’ currency. The scope of this effort encompasses the following general activities:

(1) NATOPS, NATIP, weapon and mission system Component Manual Production and Configuration Management- Analysis, review, definition and execution of formally documented Naval Air Systems Group (NAVAIR) and other command processes to create and sustain effective technical information products to support Fleet tactical system employment.

(2) Fleet liaison / subject matter expertise to ensure consistent and complementary technical and tactical information flow between NAVAIR and Fleet centers of excellence for aviation training and tactics development.

(3) Platform software and new systems Introduction and Train the Trainer presentation development and delivery to aircrew at Fleet centers of excellence for aviation training and tactics development and Fleet concentration centers.

(4) Subject matter expert technical support to instructors, acquisition offices, and the fleet community on the introduction and deployment of new and/or upgrades of weapon systems.

This contract is a single award indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity contract to support the mission of NAWCAD, the DAiTA Group and the Warfare Effectiveness Department. Specific requirements will be derived from the scope of this SOW and documented through individual Task Orders (TO).
