4.4 TEST AND EVALUATION

4.4.1 Test and Evaluation Planning

Using test acceptance criteria developed and provided by the Government, the contractor shall develop, update and maintain plans and procedures to test and evaluate performance requirements of a prototype set after installation on the test platform . The contractor shall develop plans that address test objectives, performance metrics, platform requirements, personnel requirements, training, platform geometries, location options, equipment staging, timeline recommendations, actions to prevent mutual interference (PMI), safety requirements, environmental impact constraints, data recording and logging requirements, security restrictions, and information assurance restrictions. Prior to test events, the contactor shall provide all planning documents such as test plans and procedures, test matrices, and data collection procedures for Government approval. The contractor shall include modeling of the sensor environment, simulation of test geometries and platform scenarios. The contractor shall assess safety hazards and develop mitigation plans, prepare documentation to support approval from applicable environmental compliance boards, and verify feasibility of data recording methods.

Deliverables: The contractor shall deliver Test Plans and Procedures in accordance with

CDRL A008.

4.4.2 Preparation for Testing

The contractor shall make all preparations needed to execute test evolutions with the prototype set in a water, land or air environment. The contractor shall perform upgrades, overhauls or tune-ups of test vehicles and equipment deployment apparatus to support in-water testing for the required test duration. The contractor shall make repairs to the prototype set equipment in accordance with test objectives prior to use of the equipment for repeated test trials. The contractor shall prepare and deliver materials to support training of personnel assigned to testing regarding proper operation of test equipment, safety procedures and operation of the prototype set equipment prior to testing. The contractor shall package equipment for shipping and arrange for transport of equipment to the test sites and staging areas. The contractor shall prepare a report detailing the special or unique test and support equipment developed, repairs and upgrades performed, and other preparations completed prior to executing a test.

Deliverables: The contractor shall deliver Technical Reports in accordance with CDRL A001.

4.4.3 Test Execution

The contractor shall perform the test and evaluation identified in the test plan to demonstrate, evaluate, verify and validate performance of the prototype set. The contractor shall travel to the test site, board the assigned test platforms, communicate test objectives with platform commanders or controllers, support execution of test geometries, operate equipment associated with the test, collect and organize data, summarize results in written form, and package data for transport. The contractor shall notify the Government prior to the conduct of any test. The contractor shall document the test event and provide the Government a test event report including a summary of accomplishments, notable issues and any problems encountered.

Deliverables: The contractor shall deliver Test Reports in accordance with CDRL A009.

4.4.4 Post Test Analysis

The contractor shall perform analysis and technical investigations of data collected during operation testing of the prototype set for the purpose of assessing system performance relative to test objectives and system technical requirements. The contractor shall generate time-space reconstruction parameters associated with test execution using recorded navigation data from the systems. The contractor shall use mathematical models and computer simulation tools to assess expected performance characteristics of the prototype set given the reconstructed environmental and positional conditions present during test execution. The contractor shall determine the root cause, generate alternative solutions, and produce recommended courses of action for observations that fail to meet expected performance requirements. The contractor shall compare test data with system performance requirements and document findings. The contractor shall prepare and deliver a test report describing work performed, tests conducted, investigations completed, and conclusions drawn from post-test analysis tasking.

Deliverables: The contractor shall deliver Test Reports in accordance with CDRL A009.

4.5 TRANSITION TO PRODUCTION

The contractor shall develop design documents for the prototype set that describe a product baseline compatible with production level TDP as described in applicable document 3.2.

These documents shall include descriptions of candidate production system architecture, identification of parts, mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, software functional flow, computer network architecture, and operator-machine interfaces. The contractor shall provide an upgraded design document that addresses issues associated with parts obsolescence, environmental qualification testing, immunity to external noise sources, long term endurance and reliability, safety, and information assurance qualifications. Technical

Data Packages (TDP) shall define production designs in accordance with paragraph 4.0.1.2.

item A001; and all Calculation Packages in accordance with CDRL A006. The contractor shall deliver the Technical Data Package in accordance with CDRL item A002.

5.0 MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS

The contractor shall deliver monthly cost and performance reports in accordance with the basic contract Clause C16 COST AND PERFORMANCE REPORTING (SEP 2012).

6.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED INFORMATION (GFI)

Government Furnished Information (GFI) will be addressed in individual orders.

7.0 QUALITY SURVEILLANCE & PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

The Government will conduct quality surveillance via various methods including formal and informal meetings, review of technical reports, review of monthly progress reports, and review of deliverables.

Contractor performance will be evaluated in the areas of technical quality, responsiveness, timeliness and cost. Responsiveness will be evaluated based upon the Government’s experience interacting with the contractor during performance. Timeliness will be evaluated based on the contractor’s ability to meet CDRL schedules with minimal variance.

Cost will be evaluated based upon the contactor’s ability to manage to the negotiated costs.
