MISSION – MAINTENANCE – FUTURE REQUIREMENTS (MMFR)
FOR RANGE INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS
1.0 SCOPE
1.1 Background
1.1.1 This Performance Work Statement (PWS) covers specialized Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) services for development, employment and deployment of Range instrumentation systems in the broad oceans areas and worldwide to support customers Technology Demonstrations and flight test events. Customers may include various Department of Defense (DoD) agencies such as the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army and other government/commercial entities that require deployment and operation of Range instrumentation equipment in geographic expansive areas and architectures. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) provides Range instrumentation for flight test missions and technical demonstrations.
1.1.2 Range instrumentation support includes four primary areas: RDT&E Mission execution, Range Instrumentation Operation and Maintenance (O&M), RDT&E Engineering, and Design and Development of Instrumentation systems.
1.1.3 The overarching goal of this PWS is to provide mission-ready Range instrumentation (such as telemetry and telemetry processing, communications, radar, EO/IR, weather, power, range safety systems), test data collection, Satellite Communication (SATCOM) and terrestrial communications in accordance with the projects test schedules and locations for their flight test and technical demonstrations. The requirement is to develop, operate and maintain multiple Range instrumentations systems including SATCOM and terrestrial communications transport capability; provide mission execution services; ensure range instrumentation systems are 100% mission ready; collect, record and distribute data to meet customer requirements.
1.2 General Scope of Work
1.2.1 The contractor shall provide support of Range instrumentation systems and equipment to high visibility and complex T&E operations and technical demonstrations occurring primarily on geographically expansive Broad Ocean Areas, which consist of DoD test Ranges near the Pacific or Atlantic oceans or other off-range sites and locations worldwide, where deployment and employment of Range instrumentation equipment and services may be required to meet customer requirements.
1.3 Contract Work Environment
1.3.1 Requirements will be primarily performed on Government-owned range instrumentation systems and equipment.
1.3.2 It is anticipated that the contractor performance will be at multiple sites located away from the contractor facility, such as geographically remote sites where fixed or mobile Range instrumentation systems are located, including ship-based and airborne range instrumentation systems. This includes DOD Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB), U.S. Government-owned facilities, commercial facilities, or other Government-designated test sites and installations in the U.S., U.S. territories, any of the Unified Combatant Commands such as the United States Pacific Command (USAPACOM).
