About this file

This document is a Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the Reagan Test Site (RTS) Operations, Sustainment, Improvement, and Engineering (ROSIE) contract, prepared by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command. The PWS outlines comprehensive requirements for supporting RTS mission operations, which include space surveillance, test and evaluation of defense weapon systems, and scientific research across multiple instrumentation platforms located on Kwajalein Atoll and Wake Island.

Key performance requirements span five primary areas: Operations (test mission and space operations support), Sustainment/Maintenance (of radar, optical sensors, telemetry systems, and associated equipment), Improvements & Modernization Engineering Services, Cyber Security, and Mission Communications/Information Technology Services. The contractor will be responsible for 24/7/365 operational readiness, maintaining sophisticated radar and optical sensor systems, supporting United States Space Command tasking, conducting space domain awareness operations, performing system maintenance, managing cybersecurity protocols, and providing comprehensive technical support across multiple mission-critical domains. Critical performance metrics include maintaining high system availability (95-99%), rapid incident response times, and continuous monitoring and reporting of operational capabilities.

Draft ROSIE PWS

2. BACKGROUND

RTS is an activity of the Department of Defense (DoD) Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) located on Kwajalein Atoll, in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) approximately 2,136 nautical miles west-southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. Kwajalein Atoll is a crescent shaped loop of coral islands with an attendant reef that encloses an area of 1,100 square miles - one of the largest lagoons in the world. The distance from Kwajalein Island on the southern reef to Ebadon Island on the northwest corner of the reef is approximately 75 miles. The lagoon is 15 miles across at its widest point. RTS consists of technical and support facilities located on 11, low-lying tropical islands, utilized by the U.S. under the terms of the Compact of Free Association with the RMI.

RTS performs two major activities: Space Operations and Test and Evaluation of DoD weapons systems (including offensive missiles, defensive missiles, hypersonic, and space test). RTS also supports unique or non-recurring scientific research and applied experiments. Execution of these operations/tests is performed from RTS or the RTS Operations Center in Huntsville, Alabama (ROC-H), using a wide array of highly sophisticated radar, telemetry, and optical sensors to meet the needs of the DoD in defending the Nation and its interests. ROC-H provides remote operations capability, mission control, and technical oversight for RTS activities.

RTS is also a United States (U.S.) Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Test Range and a Defense Site pursuant to the Compact of Free Association, Public Law 99-239, with the

RMI.

The RTS operational area of responsibility (AOR) during test operations spans a radius of approximately 500 nautical miles of Kwajalein Island and Wake Island. Wake Island is located approximately 700 miles north of Kwajalein Atoll and contains a limited suite of instrumentation used to support testing activities on a campaign basis. Refer to the Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) list for this equipment and RTS Instrumentation and Support Facilities Manual (ISFM) for Wake Island support system description.

RTS is the Primary Organizational Element (POE) for technical support services provided by separate contractors for ROSIE, Range Safety Support (RSS) services and Meteorological Support Services (MSS). RTS is a USASMDC organization consisting of the Office of RTS Director (which includes the Deputy Director, Chief Engineer, and Technical Director); the Mission Operations Division; Mission Safety Division; Space Operations Division; and program management support. RTS is headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, at ROC-H. RTS on-island presence consists of the Office of the Range Director, an engineering and maintenance element, and a Communications and Networking Division.

RTS receives scientific advice from a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contracted through the U.S. Air Force. The PWS requirements are necessary to meet a continuing need for research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) efforts for on-site and off-site engineering, technical support services, and materials required to operate, maintain, analyze, and modify the Kwajalein range instrumentation and related support systems. RTS instrumentation includes an array of sensors, systems, and centers (but not limited to):

a. Highly sophisticated one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art radar systems designed for collection of precise metric, imaging, and signature data.

b. Additional radar metric and impact location assets.

c. Telemetry data acquisition systems.

d. Optics capabilities for highly accurate metrics, spectral characteristics.

documentary video, photography, scoring data.

e. Command and control centers.

hereafter referred to as “RTS Instrumentation” (note that a detailed listing is provided in the RTS ISFM).

These PWS requirements include a variety of technical support services for RTS and customers (customers can include both DoD users [including DoD training users] and non-DoD users such as U.S. Government Agencies, State and local Governments, allied foreign governments, and commercial entities as defined by DoD Directive [DoDD] 3200.11). These technical support services can include (but are not limited to):

a. Operation and maintenance of communications systems that provide data, voice, timing, and control circuits for conducting test programs at RTS, along with routine administrative communication needs.

b. Electro-magnetic frequency control, surveillance, and analysis.

c. Timing reference, synchronization, and control.

d. Photographic and video services.

e. Ordnance receipt, inventory, handling, and storage.

f. Communications Security (COMSEC) equipment receipt, inventory, and control.

g. Calibration, repair, and maintenance of Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic

Equipment (TMDE).

h. Mission planning and preparation to include evaluation of mission requirements, development of mission support plans and operational planning documents, preparation of operations schedules, and the adaptation of procedures as required to successfully support mission requirements.

i. Design, implementation, testing, and documentation of hardware and software modifications to the instrumentation and technical support systems to maintain the state-of-the-art capability required by the complex RDT&E missions supported by RTS.

The contractor shall perform all work in support of these RTS missions in a manner that maintains operational readiness, protects mission continuity, and complies with applicable DoD, Army, MRTFB, and host-nation requirements.
