STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Data Acquisition and Retrieval System (DARTS)

1.0 Background

NUWCDIVNPT is responsible for the conduct of system performance, certification, calibration and developmental testing for new construction and acquisition programs and in service Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, and Intelligence (C5I) System technology refresh and technology insertion efforts. Programs include the VIRGINIA (SSN 774) Class Submarine Program and its Non-Propulsion Electronics System (NPES), the OHIO Class and COLUMBIA Class Submarine Programs, and associated in-service programs that include sonar, combat control, external communications systems, imaging, electronic warfare systems, navigation, TOMAHAWK Weapons Systems, Naval Special Warfare systems, VIRGINIA Payload Tube (VPT), and VIRGINIA Payload Module (VPM) including associated weapon payloads. Test events include Weapons System Accuracy Trials (WSAT), VIRGINIA Warfare Material Certification Program (VWMCP), COLUBMIA Warfare Material Certification Program (CWMCP), Integrated Combat System Certification Assessment Program (ICS CAP), Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS) certification testing, Weapons Compatibility Testing, Sensor Accuracy Trials, array calibrations, Cybersecurity developmental testing, and acquisition program Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) Weapon System and Payload Integration Development Testing (DT). These test programs and events will hereafter be referred to as the NUWC Test Program. Application of this technology to Operational Test (OT) support may also be required when requested by Operational Test and Evaluation Force (OPTEVFOR) and directed by the acquisition program office.

Progeny Systems Corporation (PSC) (acquired by General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) effective 1 January 2024) was awarded a Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to mature the Automated Testing Systems (ATS) developed under the Phase II SBIR contract into test instrumentation packages to support the NUWC Test Program. These test instrumentation packages evolved into the Data Acquisition and Retrieval System (DARTS) and associated engineering and technical services. DARTS includes a set of hardware and software that is utilized in the laboratory, at the Command and Control Module Off-Hull Assembly, and Test Site (COATS), and shipboard to support the NUWC Test Program. A follow-on Phase III SBIR contract was awarded in 2015 for continued development and support. It is installed shipboard via a TEMPALT (Temporary Alteration) and must meet the requirements of the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (Applicable Document 3.2.13).

DARTS provides a capability to provide real time analysis and data collection during NPES testing.

Under this procurement the contractor will continue the application of this technology and engineering services to the NUWC Test Program. The contractor shall maintain and tailor DARTS to the needs of each NUWC Test Program test event. The contractor shall integrate Government and commercial off-the-shelf (GOTS and COTS) and non developmental item (NDI) products to reduce cost where possible.

The objective of this contract is to continue the application of this ATS technology to support the NUWC Test Program. This includes conduct of testing to support combat system and Special Operating Force (SOF) system certifications and to complete DT in support of proceeding to OT.

1.1 Places of Performance

The contractor shall perform the required work in its facilities, government and other contractor labs and facilities, and on-board US ships and ranges.
