ENGINEERING SERVICES

1.0 SCOPE. This SOW covers engineering services to be provided to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Point Mugu, CA. The contractor shall provide various support of Test and Evaluation (T&E) and systems engineering activities related to Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program. Tasking includes Operations Research Support, Physics Analysis, Test Plans and Procedures, Test Data Collection Analysis and Test Data Review, Test Monitoring and Real-Time Mission Conduct Support, Technical Management Support, technical reports and briefing preparations. Support shall be provided at various national test ranges as required including the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands, Kauai, HI.

1.1 BACKGROUND. The mission of the NAWCWD, Point Mugu, CA, is to be the Navy’s full-spectrum Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E), and In-service Engineering Center for weapons systems associated with naval warfare, missiles and missile subsystems and supporting systems, weapons integration, and assigned electronic warfare systems. This responsibility includes performing Developmental and Operational Testing and Evaluation (DOT&E); full operational support and planning for each operation; coordination of post-exercise analysis; and support for Naval Surface Weapons Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) T&E operations and fleet exercises throughout the United States.

1.2 MISSION. The mission of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) under the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is to develop and field an integrated BMD System capable of providing a layered defense for the United States and its deployed forces, friends and allies against ballistic missiles of all ranges in all phases of flight. MDA is responsible for research, development, testing and evaluation. Using complementary interceptors, sensors, and Battle Management Command and Control Systems, the planned missile defense system will be able to engage all classes and ranges of ballistic missile threats. Missile defense elements being developed and tested by MDA are primarily based on a hit-to-kill technology.

This support includes a series of planned demonstrations leading up to Developmental Test/Operational Test (DT/OT), and operational testing (OT) for an integrated BMD system.

3.5.14 The Contractor shall provide support to the Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS) with mission planning, mission support plan development, sensor operation, data collection, and post-mission analysis for Aegis BMD or MDA-related missions. Contractor shall serve as Navy Technical Observer (NTO) if requested. (CDRL A001, A002, and A004)

3.5.15 The Contractor shall provide support to PMRF to analyze performance and recommend upgrades for range radars, optics, telemetry, and range safety systems. Support shall also include assessment of range performance during mission events. (CDRL A002)

3.5.16 The Contractor shall provide analysis of land, sea, air, and space-based sensors’ test support positions and requirements to support range safety needs and data collection objectives during flight test missions. (CDRL A002)

3.5.17 The Contractor shall provide support to real-time overhead surveillance collection during Aegis BMD Flight Test missions. (CDRL A002)

3.5.18 The Contractor shall collect data in order to verify range safety requirements have been met. If possible, real-time data must be streamed to control rooms for immediate awareness and assessment, as well as comparison with a target BET. If multiple sensors are used for data collection, stereo target trajectory reconstruction shall be required. Real-time trajectory generation is preferred when appropriate infrastructure is in place, which shall be defined in the individual TO. All data collected must be analyzed post-mission and reported in a timely manner to meet program specified requirements and deadlines. (CDRL A002, A004)

3.5.19 The Contractor shall develop CONOPS briefings prior to mission events. These CONOPS briefings shall be presented during mission readiness reviews. The CONOPS briefings shall highlight phenomenologies that are expected to be observed including review of relevant historical data, simulated products showcasing potential observables, and suggested sensor operation modes. (CDRL A004)

3.5.20 The Contractor shall provide recommendations as to improve operations on data collection platform. Based on recommendations, contractor shall develop tools or procedures to enable improved ability to meet program objectives and requirements as described in the individual TO. (CDRL A001 and A002)

3.5.21 The Contractor shall provide technical and engineering support to implement and interface real time video streaming from various optical sensors located at designated Navy test range nodes, utilizing government provided networks at Navy/DoD Test Ranges to range control centers, in support of Aegis BMD flight test missions. In addition the contractor shall be required to conduct site surveys, equipment surveys/evaluation, equipment installation, and operational support of real time video streaming solutions for Aegis BMD flight test missions. These tests activities shall take place at Navy/DoD Test Ranges. (CDRL A002, A004)

3.6 Technical Management Support

3.6.1 The Contractor shall review BMD program documents including but not limited to BMD Operational Requirements Document (ORDs), the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP), the Aegis Ballistic Missile Flight Test Mission test plans, the Program Introduction (PI), the Data Management and Analysis Plan (DMAP), and the Operational Requirement (OR) and Operational Directive (OD) for correctness, completeness, and determine if the documents meet Government objectives. This documentation shall include the production of draft documents for Government review related to more detailed test plans. Recommendations for auxiliary sensor DMAP products shall also be required as described at the order level. (CDRL A003)

3.6.2 The Contractor shall support the development of a Mission Requirements Document (MRD), Flight Mission Test Plans, data analysis plans, Integrated Test Plans (ITP), auxiliary sensor Mission Support Plans (MSPs), and Mission Quick Books to assist in identifying and ensuring that all optical/radar sensors meet the scenario test objectives and mission requirements.
