STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

(AFRL Cavity Measurements)

1.0 Background

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT), Code 85 is being funded by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to execute a 6.1 basic research project investigating the physics of high-speed water entry. One sub-task of this effort involves measurement of the cavity physics of canonical body water entry. Brigham Young University is on contract in Fiscal Year (FY) 25 to perform these measurements. This Statement of Work (SOW) describes a follow-on contract in alignment with new requirements. The requirements include generating new data over a different range of sphere radius and impact velocity, as well as measuring properties of the splash above the free-surface. These data are required to continue advancing models being developed in support of the AFRL program.

1.1 Places of Performance

The experiments shall be performed at Brigham Young University

1.2 Authorized Users

2.0 Scope

The Contractor shall use the custom apparatus designed and fabricated in Calendar Year (CY) 24 for performing cavity pressure measurements in the wake of a spherical body entering the water in atmospheric and reduced ambient pressure conditions. The Contractor shall also perform planar laser induced florescence (PLIF) measurements to determine the thickness of the splash sheet. The Contractor shall use said apparatus to perform further measurements over an expanded range of sphere radius and speeds in excess of 300 m/s.

4.0 Technical Requirements

4.1 Generation of Experimental Data Set

The contractor shall:

4.1.1 Propose an experimental test matrix with variations in sphere radius and impact speed in excess of 300 m/s. Matrix shall include any raw high speed video, hydrophone and pressure sensor data. The test matrix is subject to approval by the Government prior to execution of testing.

Deliverable: CDRL A001 – Technical Report – Raw Data.

4.1.2 Perform experiments in accordance with the conditions in the approved test matrix.

Experimental data to be collected shall include pressure measurements in the cavity formed in the wake of spheres entering the water, and high speed imaging of the same.

Deliverable: CDRL A002 – Test Report

4.1.3 (OPTION YEAR). Perform PLIF measurements to determine time-varying splash thickness for the high speed impact conditions studied in 4.1.2.

Deliverable: CDRL A003 – Test Report

5.0 Progress Reports

The Contractor shall communicate progress to the Government in the form of phone conversations, e-mails, and test reports.

5.1 Bi-weekly progress update

The contractor and the Government shall discuss progress on a bi-weekly basis.

10.0 Security Compliance

10.1 Program Protection

SECURITY: All Contractor personnel shall adhere to the Security provisions of 32 CFR Part 117

– National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). While performing work associated with NUWCDIVNPT, Contractor personnel shall comply with the NUWCDIVNPT Security Manual and, if at another facility, the security regulations of the host facility.

Applicable FAR, DFARS, NMCARS clauses, and NAVSEA text shall be adhered to in the performance of this contract. Security incidents shall be promptly reported through the companies Facility Security Officer (FSO), to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), Technical Point of Contact (TPOC), and the Cognizant Security Office to NUWCDIVNPT Security.

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) including Legacy FOUO and Covered Defense Information (meeting the definition of 48 CFR 252.204–7012(a)) generated and/or provided under this contract shall be marked and safeguarded as specified in DoD Instruction 5200.48, CUI available at:

https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/520048p.PDF. Any product containing Covered Defense Information shall be assigned a distribution statement (distribution statements B through F) in accordance with DoDI 5230.24 (Distribution Statements on Technical Documents); and DoDI 5230.24, Enclosure 3 Procedures, available at https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/523024p.pdf

INFORMATION SECURITY: If the work is performed at the Contractor's facility, the Contractor shall implement and maintain security procedures and controls to prevent unauthorized disclosure of classified information and controlled unclassified information (CUI) and to control distribution of CUI in accordance with National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) codifying 32 CFR Part 117, NISPOM Rule, and SECNAV M- 5510.36B. If the work is performed at the Government's facility, the Contractor shall comply with facility policy.

CUI INCIDENT REPORTING AND RESPONSE: The Contractor shall promptly report any unauthorized, inadvertent, or illegal release or disclosure of CUI to the Contracting Officer’s Representative / Technical Point of Contact (TPOC), Procuring Contracting Officer, and the Security Office. Contractor personnel shall coordinate this effort through the relevant industry site FSO.

PUBLIC RELEASE: Any controlled unclassified information pertaining to this contract shall not be released for public dissemination, including posting to any social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter, unless it has been approved for public release by appropriate U.S.

Government authority. Proposed public releases shall be submitted for approval prior to release through Commander, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport, Newport, RI 02841.

10.2 Operations Security (OPSEC)

OPSEC is a process that identifies critical information to determine if friendly actions can be observed by adversary intelligence systems, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information.

The Contractor shall develop and implement, and update and maintain an OPSEC program to protect controlled unclassified and classified activities, information, equipment, and material used or developed by the Contractor and any subcontractor during performance of the contract.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the subcontractor implementation of the OPSEC requirements. The Contractor developed OPSEC program may include Information Assurance and Communications Security (COMSEC). The OPSEC program shall be in accordance with National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 298, and at a minimum shall include:

1) Assignment of responsibility for OPSEC direction and implementation.

2) Issuance of procedures and planning guidance for the use of OPSEC techniques to identify vulnerabilities and apply applicable countermeasures.

3) Establishment of OPSEC education and awareness training.

4) Provisions for management, annual review, and evaluation of OPSEC programs.

5) Flow down of OPSEC requirements to subcontractors when applicable.

While performing aboard NUWC or NUWC sites, the contractor shall: comply with all OPSEC instructions and policies detailed in the NUWCDIVNPT Security Manual; Include OPSEC as part of its ongoing security awareness program and take all required Agency training;

Be responsive to the Supporting OPSEC Manager on a non-interference basis; and Protect sensitive unclassified information and activities, which could compromise classified information or operations, or degrade the planning and execution of operations performed by the Requiring Organization and contractor in support of the mission.
