C.1 Introduction

Since the first prototype was installed in 2005 at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the

Runway Status Lights (RWSL) service has enhanced runway safety for vehicles, aircraft, and people by increasing situational awareness for everyone. The system uses surveillance data provided by the Airport Surface Detection Equipment Model X (ASDE-X) and the Airport

Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) systems to reduce the chance of runway incursions and certain classes of runway accidents. RWSL automatically communicates directly to pilots and vehicle operators without demanding the attention of an air traffic controller.

RWSL consists of two subsystems; the RWSL Processor (RP) and the Field Lighting System

(FLS). The RP analyzes and provides real time airport surface operations, determining runway status based on surveillance data. The FLS portion of the system provides the physical interface indicating runway status directly to pilots and vehicle operators, thereby increasing situational awareness. This Statement of Work addresses sustainment of the RWSL FLS only. A block diagram of the RWSL with FLS components shaded in yellow is included within this document.

(See Appendix C)

For the purposes of this SOW, references to “days” mean calendar days, unless otherwise specified.

C.1.1 Background

RWSL operational sites are now at risk for a partial or complete service shut down resulting from component obsolescence, depletion of depot stock, and/or exploitation of age-related security risks. Two key FLS components, the Individual Light Controller (ILC) and Master Light

Controller (MLC), have reached end-of-life status and will not be able to be replaced when depot materials are exhausted. MLC inventory is expected to be exhausted by August 2026 and ILC inventory is expected to be exhausted by May 2025 if 50% recovery of these parts are returned to stock.

The FLS RCP will also address Constant Current Regulators (CCRs) used in the legacy FLS system which were sized to support incandescent fixtures. Over time, Light Emitting Diode

(LED) fixtures have replaced incandescent fixtures, reducing power consumption and rendering some CCRs grossly inefficient. The baseline 20KW CCRs are obsolete and a replacement 20KW

CCR will be qualified and will be replaced in the future upon failure. In addition, a replacement

10 KW CCR will be qualified for use in the RWSL baseline on under-loaded circuits.

The remaining FLS components being replaced during the FLS RCP are the Lighting Computer

(LC) and the CCR Controller (CCR-C). The LC is used for RWSL illumination decisions and maintenance access. The legacy LC poses multiple risks stemming from antiquated computer

C-6 processors and the resulting Information System Security (ISS) deficiencies.

The CCR-C provides communication and processing between the primary components of the

CCR and the Lighting Computer (LC) and provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for local control and monitoring. The CCR-C communicates with the RWSL via a serial communication system. Serial communication cards are no longer available in standard computer processors limiting the possibilities for a replacement processor for the LC.

If any of these components should malfunction or fail, RWSL could suffer a partial, or even full, service failure. The RWSL FLS RCP replaces, redesigns, or uses a combination of both, to address these issues.

C.1.2 Purpose

This statement of work (SOW) details the hardware, software, and services the Contractor must provide for component design and development and to support testing, installation, integration, and configuration of the FLS into the legacy RWSL system to satisfy the specific requirements of this SOW and each Delivery Order.

C.1.3 Scope

This SOW defines the requirements, to be outlined in individual Delivery Orders, for delivering a FLS that is backwards and forwards compatible with the existing RWSL system and the associated technical support required to incorporate the FLS into:

1) Four support systems at Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC)

2) One system at key site1 Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX); and

3) 19 operational sites. (see Section F.10)

FLS work to be developed and delivered are listed in J-16 (Statement of Work Matrix) and discussed elsewhere in this SOW.

The RWSL FLS RCP is a technical refresh of the FLS subsystem. The Contractor will be expected to update the program interface and design description documents to reflect interfaces among the FLS components; however, the Contractor must not make any changes to the interfaces outside of the FLS subsystem. No changes between the FLS and any part of the

RWSL Processing System will be accepted.

This SOW defines the scope of the support services required of the Contractor. The FAA will use Contractor support services for second-level engineering support of the FLS system until it is

1 The FAA retains the right to change key site testing from PHX to another designated site.

C-7 accepted by the FAA and transitions to FAA ownership. Acceptance of replacement components into the NAS is defined by approval of the Baseline National Airspace System (NAS) Change

Proposal (NCP). The Contractor must provide second level support as needed until the the NCP is approved. After the NCP has been approved, components are owned by the FAA and second level support will be provided by the FAA. The Contractor may be called upon as needed during operational site sustainment to support unique challenges.

The Contractor must provide qualified engineering and technical personnel for these services, as necessary, to complete assigned tasks. These services must be provided on an approved time and material (T&M) basis with the Contractor indicating any incidental hardware required to perform services.

This contract calls for modifying COTS software to enable the new LC (running on the Linux platform) to communicate with the rest of the FLS and the RP. The rights in data clauses called out in Sections C.7.6 and C11.3 state FAA will retain data rights in the software developed or modified for this contract.

C.2 FLS Technical Description

RWSL processes Airport Surface Detection Equipment – Model X (ASDE-X) and Airport

Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) data using software algorithms with adjustable parameters to control airfield lights in accordance with air traffic operations, including anticipated separation. Runway Entrance Lights (RELs) and Takeoff Hold Lights (THLs) are embedded in the pavement on certain runways and taxiways, and turn red to notify pilots and vehicle operators when RWSL safety logic indicates it is unsafe to enter or depart. Further information regarding the RWSL program can be found at faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/rwsl/.

RWSL consists of two subsystems: the RWSL subsystem and the FLS subsystem. The RWSL subsystem consists of an Equipment Room Cabinet (ERC), up to three Cab Control Panels

(CCP), up to three Tower Cab Control Assembly(s) (TCCA), and up to three Kill Switch

Assembly(s). The FLS subsystem consists of equipment housed in a shelter and installed on the airfield. The LC (part of the FLS) resides in the ERC. A shelter contains one Remote

Maintenance Terminal Cabinet (RMTC) and up to four MLC/CCR Assemblies. Each MLC/CCR connects to one series circuit lighting loop (circuit) on the airfield.

A circuit contains in-pavement light assemblies. Each in-pavement light assembly consists of one isolation transformer, one ILC, and one light fixture. Circuits are identified by fixture type.

The RWSL system uses two types of fixtures: Runway Entrance Lights (REL) and Takeoff Hold

Lights (THL). A circuit will consist of either REL or THL fixtures and be identified by fixture type.

C-10

Within each circuit, REL and THL assemblies are grouped into arrays. A REL array has a minimum of six REL assemblies. A THL array typically has 32 THL assemblies. A RWSL runway installation can contain a combination of REL and THL arrays. All FLS subsystem configurations are limited by the following design constraints:

1) Number of shelters: one to eight

2) Number of circuits: one to 15 (limit of four per shelter)

3) Light fixtures: up to 1000 (limit of 120 per circuit)

Commissioned RWSL sites are operating on circuit lengths up to 45,000 feet, with up to 120 individual lights (RELs or THLs) using unshielded L-824 airfield cable. FLS replacement components must be capable of controlling all commissioned circuits without changing circuit layout or infrastructure.

C.3 Requirements

The Contractor must have the tools and materials necessary to support modification of COTS components, installation, configuration, and testing of the FLS, as ordered. The FAA will take ownership of the testing and configuration tools and materials used as deliverables under this contract upon acceptance of the FLS RCP system components. FLS components and supporting documents to be supplied and supported under this SOW are listed in Section F, Deliveries or

Performance.

The Contractor must support installation of each of the required components at the MMAC

RWSL test bed and follow on to the key site at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).

The FAA will be performing all site preparation, installation, and testing at sites. After successfully completing key site testing, the RWSL program office will begin sustainment of the remaining 19 operational sites and the Training Academy at the MMAC. Contractor technical support is not anticipated to be necessary for installation of operational sites, other than possible technical support by phone. The FAA reserves the right to require in-person engineering support for operational site installation of each component, should the need arise. This SOW includes requirements for:

1) Full replacement of all MLC/ILC components

2) Full replacement of all LC components.

3) Full replacements of all CCR-C

4) Qualification for the 20 KW CCR replacement

5) Qualification for the 10 KW CCR

6) Technical support as the FAA conducts First Article testing at MMAC

7) Technical support at the PHX key site installation, FLS optimization and testing

8) Second Level Engineering training to support configuration and troubleshooting at operational site installations

C-11

9) Any documentation developed for this contract, such as COTS documentation, standard industry documentation, program documentation, system documentation, configuration documentation, commercial manuals, software manuals, connection guides, trouble-shooting guides, and schematics

10) Technical support provided from the Contractor as needed for installation, FLS optimization, and testing at operational sites

C.3.1 Requirements to Minimize Impact on Airports

FLS RCP execution has been designed to minimize impact on airport operations and leverage individual airport runway construction and/or maintenance planning as much as possible. This sustainment execution design is flexible, minimizes closures, and sustains the system by breaking the work into appropriate segments. During installation, the FAA will ensure that only affected segments of the RWSL FLS System will be removed from service while remaining segments remain operational. All FLS RCP components in the Contractor’s solution must be capable of being installed, optimized, tested and certified for operation, working seamlessly with all segments of legacy FLS equipment and operating system.

C.3.2 Compatibility with Existing Baseline of the RWSL System

The existing legacy system infrastructure using Power Line Communication (PLC) technology is a constraint upon the RWSL FLS RCP. The Contractor’s sustainment components must use existing unshielded airfield cable and be fully compatible with the legacy system. During each individual circuit’s sustainment outage, the FAA will replace, configure, test, and return to service that circuit’s MLC and associated ILCs. LC, CCR-C, and CCR replacements will be addressed on independent schedules after the MLC/ILC replacements. Consequently, the

Contractor must ensure that the next generation of hardware functionally integrates with the legacy RWSL system, being backwards and forwards compatible.

Independent sustainment projects conducted by the FAA will integrate and test components into the RWSL baseline system as follows:

1) MLC/ILC replacement qualification

2) CCR-C replacement qualification

3) LC replacement qualification

4) CCR replacement qualification

C.4 Deliverables

The Contractor must deliver, as ordered by the FAA:

1) RWSL FLS RCP components

2) An LC composed of a rack mountable computer with an x86_64 architecture compatible

C-12

CPU and Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 8 (or latest version). The LC must host the software applications necessary to provide an interface between the RWSL processor subsystem and FLS. This new LC must provide a direct replacement of the LC currently configured in the RWSL baseline such that no additional modifications to the RWSL processor subsystem are required.

3) Commercial manuals, software manuals, connection guides, troubleshooting guides and schematics, and technical support as needed to assist the FAA in successfully integrating replacement components into the RWSL system.

4) All operational and non-operational software, including any Original Equipment

Manufacturer (OEM) or third-party software that need to transfer with these products, as determined by the FAA.

5) Documentation and technical information necessary to demonstrate compliance with:
