Statement of Work

For LVCMS ASW VAST

1.

SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes the requirements for the tasks to produce and integrate the MH-60R Air Crew Tactical Team Trainer (RACT3) training system that will provide an integrated training capability that supports the MH-60R community in Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) proficiency. It also establishes the requirements for products to be provided to the LVCMS ASW VAST Training Systems Integrated Product Team (IPT). The SOW will establish system requirements that will directly and positively impact the ASW proficiency of MH-60R aircrew. The MH-60R Air Crew Tactical Team Trainer (RACT3) training device will provide active, passive and multi-static acoustics training in a deployable PC based simulation for the MH-60R ASW tactical nucleus (Pilot, Co-Pilot, and Sensor Operator) and is also configured with an Instructor Operator Station (IOS). It will leverage existing simulations to minimize the development effort in order to accelerate a solution for the ASW proficiency gap well inside the time-line that would be provided by the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) process. The tasks required in this SOW are within the scope of the LVCMS ASW VAST (ID/IQC) N61340-13-R-1057 SOW PDX13EE02. Each of the main requirement paragraphs in this SOW contains a reference to the paragraphs of the LVCMS ASW VAST (ID/IQC) SOW PDX13EE02, which authorize the required task.

1.1

BACKGROUND

The Navy has requirements for the design, fabrication, test, development and lifecycle modification of the LVCMS ASW VAST training systems to include aircraft, surface, sub surface ships or combat systems which, when in a networked environment, allow for integrated mission training. The RACT3 will be part of the LVCMS and ASW VAST family of training systems.
