SAMPLE TASK

Task Order Title: Multi-Domain Vulnerability Analysis for a Ground Mobile Target

1.0 Scope:

1.1 Background: The Combatant Commands (CCMD) have identified several thousand weapon-target pairings that are required for inventory/fielded weapons. The Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) Program Office and Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual (JMEM) Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) are responsible for providing target vulnerability and weapons effectiveness data in support of the CCMD. Under the JTCG/ME Capabilities and Standardization (C&S) IPT Targets, several of these targets will be addressed. The JTCG/ME and C&S IPT requires contractor support to provide target vulnerability analysis for a ground mobile target for several kinetic weapons. Although primary focus of the vulnerability analysis is traditional kinetic weapons and target, the JTCG/ME and C&S IPT also requires contractor support on how other non-kinetic weapons/capabilities could be injected into the vulnerability analysis for potential future considerations, as well as supporting approaches on weapon characterization testing and multi-domain integration.

1.2 Objective: To provide vulnerability analysis on a general ground mobile target (Toyota Hilux) for support to the JTCG/ME program office. The vulnerability analysis includes the collection/analysis of weapon/target characterization data, completion of three-dimensional (3D) Target Geometric Models (TGM), development of target vulnerability model, and the utilization of vulnerability methodologies/models to calculate component, Cell x Cell, and total target vulnerability data for various weapon damage mechanisms. Kinetic weapons include generic fragments, projectiles, shaped-charge effects, explosively formed penetrator (EFP), Small Precision Munition (SPM), and Kinetic Energy (KE) rounds. The focus on the analysis is traditional kinetic damage mechanisms and effects, but analysis sill also outline how other non-kinetic effects could be added to the vulnerability analysis for future consideration. Objectives also include multi-domain assessment and weapon characterization testing approach.

2.0 Assumptions:

2.1 Security Clearances. The ability of each individual contractor employee to obtain a DoD SECRET security clearance is required. Contractor personnel must possess at least a SECRET security clearance to execute this contract. All Contractor/Subcontractor employees supporting this sample task must be U.S. citizens.

3.7 Improved Weapon Characterization. The Contractor shall generate a warhead characterization test approach. For planning purposes, the Contractor shall develop approach based on a small precision weapon (approximately 20-pound explosive weight). The approach can be included as part of paragraph 3.11 deliverable.

3.8 Vulnerability Assessment. The contractor shall perform a vulnerability assessment on the target and weapon pairings combinations. The contractor shall use vulnerability methodologies/models to calculate component, Cell x Cell, and total target vulnerability data for various weapon damage mechanisms. The Contractor shall include recommended vulnerability models in the sample task proposal for discussion and approval by C&S IPT at sample task kick-off. The Contractor will include in proposal how to mitigate risk in executing vulnerability assessment runs.
