PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

1.0 INTRODUCTION:

The United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Data and Analysis Center (DAC) requires a technical support contract across its broad mission to deliver objective analysis, experimentation and data to ensure readiness today and a more lethal future force tomorrow. The DAC specifically requires technical expertise in data, experimentation and analysis across ballistic, chemical and biological defense, electronic and cyber warfare.

1.1 Background:

CCDC/DAC is the Army’s focal point for data analysis and Modeling and Simulation ((M&S) from component to force-on-force level models for the Army’s Future Force Modernization Enterprise (FFME). DAC conducts the necessary investigations, simulations, laboratory and field experiments, and analyses to quantify performance of combat, combat support, and combat service support systems, and personnel on the battlefield. DAC supports the U.S. Army Evaluation Center’s (AEC’s) system-level and live fire evaluations of rapid acquisition programs, product improvement programs, and future combat and munitions systems programs. DAC supports Product/Program Managers (PMs) to enhance the system performance of weapons and weapon platforms being developed, deployed, or improved. Results from DAC’s analyses for a spectrum of battlefield threats are provided to PMs, system evaluators, and decision makers at the Departments of Army and Defense (DoA and DoD). Current analysis codes suites are AJEM, ORCA, ONESAF, IWARS, and FOCUS. Variants, derivatives, or combinations of these codes are expected and will be included within the scope of this PWS. DAC also supports the determination of Chemical and Biological defense materiel systems performance through modeling, simulation, and analysis in support of Army studies, information requests, and defense acquisition decision making.
