NAVAL TEST WING ATLANTIC AIRCREW SERVICES

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL) is the most technically diverse air wing in naval aviation.

Comprised of four test and evaluation squadrons and the United States Naval Test Pilot School, NTWL is the Fleet advocate supporting test and evaluation of the Navy's principal aviation systems ranging from unmanned to rotary and fixed-wing aircraft and subsystems. Focused on warfighter requirements, the wing provides aircrew, aircraft assets, maintenance support, operational and safety oversight, and process and facility support for developmental flight and ground test. NTWL remains focused on the needs and safety of the Navy and Marine Corps Warfighters while providing

Customer Agencies (e.g., Program Manager, Air (PMA), Program Executive Officer (PEO), NAVAIR Competencies, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and United States Coast Guard (USCG)) with the people, processes, facilities, and aircraft to support full life cycle program Testing and

Evaluation (T&E). This support includes design, execution, analysis, evaluation, and reporting of tests and experiments of aircraft, unmanned air systems, weapons, and weapons systems.

In support of NTWL, the Test & Evaluation Program Leadership Division supports T&E Functional

Teams (i.e., Integrated Program Teams (IPT), externally directed teams, and enterprise teams, etc.)

that perform test & evaluation on Navy and other Customer Agency platforms, systems, and subsystems. NTWL desires the most qualified, experienced and current personnel within its work force as the supporting tasks are essential components of the entire T&E process and ultimately fleet lethality. The complexity of today’s flight test scenarios in the Research, Development, Test and

Evaluation (RDT&E) community and the constant changes that are associated with RDT&E flying require continuous planning, management, and monitoring to ensure success.

The scope of this contract is to provide Testers (ground and flight personnel) to manage and staff the T&E efforts that provide test design, documentation, planning, scheduling, tracking, test team briefing, test result analysis and reporting, while maintaining the currency of the T&E processes, identifying critical program test elements, ensuring engineering veracity of the test data, and providing the definition of functional requirements for future test facilities, equipment, and instrumentation requirements. The contract services shall include the application of knowledge and expertise in the fields of T&E, air vehicle operation, ground operations including logging or recording aviation data, weapon systems, subsystems and components, and other concurrent tasks such as aviation safety. The support shall be provided at and to the NTWL/ NTWP Test Squadrons, Divisions and the Platform Management Activities. Support may also include other service components of the Department of Defense, other US government agencies, foreign national defense and commercial aviation flight activities. The effort shall be governed by Government approved

Flight Operation Procedures (FOP) in compliance with the DCMA INST 8210.1 series/NAVAIRINST 3710.1 series.
