(Table 5.1, Deliverable #63 IA/MA Input to JCIDS Documentation) The contractor must analyze IA/MA requirements, constraints, and guidelines described in requirements documents and must apply the results of the analysis to develop recommendations for the optimal method of incorporating IA/MA into systems that merge voice, data, and video traffic over networks (Table 5.1, Deliverable #64 IA/MA Recommendations for Systems that Merge Voice, Data, and Video Traffic) The contractor must conduct IA/MA technical research, analysis, and recommendations for existing and emerging Certification & Accreditation (C&A) activities for the Air Force Tanker Support Division to certify and accredit secure airborne/ground communications systems, information systems, and special-purpose airborne/ground systems

(Table 5.1, Deliverable #65 Communication System C&A Documentation)

The contractor must conduct technical analysis of certification and security test and evaluation activities, Verification and Validation (V&V) analysis, and assessment of IA/MA issues connected with the development of systems and architectures to ensure that this development complies with existing and evolving C&A activities and policy for new IA/MA systems and modifications to existing systems (Table 5.1, Deliverable #66 Security Test and Evaluation Report) (Table 5.1, Deliverable #67 Independent V&V Review of IA/MA systems) As new technologies and capabilities are developed, the contractor must draft reports analyzing survivability and threats to Air Force Tanker Support Division platform systems information networks and databases that will enable the Air Force Tanker Support Division to develop assessments, evaluations, and residual risk documents for inclusion in the associated DoD C&A packages (Table 5.1, Deliverable #68 Technical Analysis for Integrating IA/MA into Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and reconnaissance)

4.16 TASK 18 ASSESSMENT OF IMPACTS ON IA/MA TECHNOLOGY The contractor must provide IA/MA research and analysis pertaining to the development of applications and system interfaces that the division will need to securely integrate evolving technologies into the Air Force Tanker Support Division platform systems.

(Table 5.1, Deliverable #69 Interface Control Document) The contractor must conduct IA/MA technical research and analysis and develop recommendations for the development, execution, and documentation of large-scale Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs), simulations, experiments, and exercises (Table 5.1, Deliverable #70 IA/MA Components of ACTD Standards/Policies Compliance Report) The contractor must conduct IA/MA technical research and analysis and must develop recommendations pertaining to Air Force Tanker Support Division and Airborne and Ground secure voice communications to those designated ground and airborne and Air Force Tanker Support Division platforms that require common access to joint, global, and network-centric applications and tools. Additionally, the contractor must analyze new technologies, procedures, and policies identified in the ACTD experiments (Table 5.1, Deliverable #71 IA/MA Component ACTD Analysis Reports)

4.19 TASK 19 VULNERABILTIY, AUTHENTICITY AND CONTINUITY ASSESSMENTS OF IA/MA SYSTEMS The contractor must assess the vulnerability, authenticity, and continuity of the Air Force Tanker Support Division’s information systems and networks to ensure that those systems and networks comply with DoD IA/MA policies (Deliverable 50: Assessment of Architectural Compliance).

The contractor must prepare an IA/MA dissemination report for Air Force Tanker Support Division platform systems. As part of this objective, the contractor must develop recommendations regarding prioritized vulnerability reductions to enhance the IA/MA components of DOD communications/information systems and networks.

(Table 5.1, Deliverable #72 IA/MA Dissemination Report) (Table 5.1, Deliverable #73 Vulnerability Reduction Technical Report) The contractor must verify that MCDA and other ground and airborne and Air Force Tanker Support Division systems/platform communications systems architectures, interfaces, and configurations conform to existing and emerging DoD IA/MA guidance.

(Table 5.1, Deliverable #74 Critical Program Technical Report)

4.20 TASK 20 ASSESSMENT OF CAPABILITIS IN REAL WORLD ENVIRONMENTS The contractor must provide modeling or simulation design, development, and execution for the development and analysis of strategic plans, the identification and assessment of capability requirements, and the evaluation of technology and system opportunities. The contractor must conduct scientific and technical analysis and offer recommendations in the design, development, implementation, and execution of flight planning and command and control (C2) models to optimize MCDA and other ground and airborne and Air Force Tanker Support Division systems/platforms

(Table 5.1, Deliverable # 75 Modeling and Simulation Assessment)

The contractor must assess and recommend modeling approaches to satisfy requirements and analyze the outcome of modeling and simulation scenarios based on real-world scenarios and parameters of MCDA and other ground and airborne and Air Force Tanker Support Division systems/platforms. In addition, the contractor must develop operational CONOPS based on the outcome of those scenarios and parameters

(Table 5.1, Deliverable # 76 Model and Simulations CONOPS)

The contractor must develop guides and instruct ions for modeling/simulation use and assessments, which can be reused in future evaluations (Table 5.1, Deliverable #77 Modeling and Simulations Guides)
