1.2 BACKGROUND

NIWC Atlantic ATC Engineering Division along with the joint SPAWAR ATC Enterprise/CB-ISEA are tasked to provide engineering and technical support services for a broad range of specialized, complex ATC, METOC, and Aviation C5ISR electronic systems for the Naval Air Systems Command, SPAWAR, and other Government organizations. The SPAWAR ATC Enterprise/CB-ISEA is the technical manager and In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for various Navy/Marine Corps ATC Shore Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS)/Air Traffic Management Systems and Surface-based Atmospheric Sensing Capabilities (SASC). Additionally, the SPAWAR ATC Enterprise/CB-ISEA supports all life cycle elements and stages, including concept, requirements, design, build and test, production and deployment, operations and support, disposal, and replacement, with primary emphasis on the following areas:

· Safety of Flight (SOF)

· Integration and compatibility of Naval ATC systems into the National Airspace System (NAS)

· Maintaining a deployed Operational Availability (Ao) capable of meeting ATC requirements and meeting or exceeding ATC system requirements

These engineering and technical support responsibilities encompass engineering design, research, budgeting, scheduling, management, procurement, evaluation, software support, integration, maintenance, certification, testing, training, configuration management, and logistics support including, but not limited to, the following programs: ATC, METOC, United States Antarctic Program (USAP), Naval Flight Information Group (NAVFIG) Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) Program, Tactical Air Navigation, ATC Landing Systems, Air Command & Control-Marine Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (MATCALS), Joint Tactical systems, and the U. S. Air Forces Central (USAFCENT) programs, systems, and equipment.

Although ATC operations are not directly supported in this contract, the maintenance services on various ATC, meteorology, and related systems is an important portion of this contract so that day-to-day operational schedules and commitments as well as domestic and international weather forecasts can be executed in a safe, orderly, and expeditious manner.

Note - During the timeframe that this PWS was being developed, SPAWAR System Center Atlantic and SPAWAR System Center Pacific changed their names to Naval Information Warfare Centers (NIWC) Atlantic and NIWC Pacific, respectfully. The names of existing instructions, guidelines, policies, web page addresses, etc., will be changed over time to reflect the name change, but at the current time (as this PWS is being developed), several of these documents, references, policies, web addresses, etc., still need to be updated.
