STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

EXPEDITIONARY MANEUVER (ExMAN) PROGRAM SUPPORT

1.0 SCOPE

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), has been tasked to provide technical support for Expeditionary Maneuver (ExMan) programs in support of Expeditionary Force 21 initiatives. The tasking covers various areas of concern affecting NSWC PCD mission support areas for ExMan, such as Seabasing Operations, Movement of Combat Power Ashore, and Land Maneuver and Logistics Operations. The Contractor shall, in response to individual task orders issued under this Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, provide the necessary science and technology, mission analysis, research and development, acquisition, and life cycle sustainment for individual warfare and logistics systems and the integration of these various systems to enable and protect the warfighter in the expeditionary environment.

1.1 Background

The purpose of this contract is to augment ongoing efforts and meet newly emerging and indeterminate requirements, Urgent Universal Need Statement (UUNS), and initiatives of the U.S. Navy (USN) and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) to meet expeditionary goals and warfighter needs. The intent is to be able to expedite tasking for concept development, advanced prototyping, and test support by providing additional program support as required (i.e. expert engineering, configuration management, fiscal and program management, briefing and documentation preparation, administration support, etc.) to assure successful completion of the various programs. The nature of the Expeditionary Warfare (ExWar) tasking requires a Contractor with contemporary knowledge, experience, and understanding of the Sea Base Concept of Operations (CONOPS), USMC doctrine and operations, amphibious warfare systems (including riverine and littoral environments), and Mine Warfare (MIW) and Mine Countermeasures (MCM) including Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). ExWar tasking consists of the following capability areas:

· Mine and IED Countermeasures (Very Shallow Water MCM, Surf and Beach Zone, Land MCM and Route Clearance)

· Distributed Operations and Expeditionary Logistics (Cargo and Personnel Movement, Energy Conservation, Force Protection, Water Purification)

· Interfaces with Seabasing Assets (Transportability, Navigation, Communications, Fueling, Maintenance)

· ExMan Threat Assessment, Mission Analysis, and Modeling and Simulation

· Land vehicle operations insertions to support ExMan (Automation and Robotics, Navigation, Sensor and Neutralization, Safety, Sustainability)

· Unmanned Systems (Control, Sensing, Neutralization, Communications, Target Recognition)

Support of these capability areas will ensure that Naval Forces can move both personnel and combat power from the Seabase to an operational objective on land through mine, obstacle, and IED threats and provide the sustainment for forces ashore.
