STATEMENT OF WORK

RADIO TEST SET (RTS) – TS-4549/T

1.0 BACKGROUND: In 2011, the Test Equipment Modernization (TEMOD) Joint Working Group (Army G3/G4/G8, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), Materiel Developers, Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Logistics Center (ALC), U.S. Army Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment Activity (USATA), Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM), National Guard Bureau, Forces Command, et al.) met and determined that the Radio Test Set, TS-4317 (Line Item Number:

T87468) / GRM-122 (Line Item Number: R36178) needed to be replaced based on low readiness levels, increased capability needs, and the inability to sustain the item due to obsolescence.

Current projection indicates that the GRM-122/TS-4317 will be unsupportable beginning 4QFY24. The Army requires the TS-4549/T, which when developed, will replace the TS-4317/GRM-122. The TS-4317 is a single box general purpose electronic test set that contains multiple electronic instruments. The GRM-122 is a multi-box system, including the TS-4317, which semi-automatically tests radios with on board Test Program Sets (TPSs). TPSs are described and discussed as Application Program Sets (APSs) in this document.

1.1 SUCCESS CRITERIA:

Phase 3: Delivery of a prototype that the Government determines:

· Successfully completes the User Facility of Use (UFOU) Evaluation (Element 6)

· Successfully completes the Performance Demonstration (PD I) (Element 7)

· Meets the requirements in 3.1.1 Prototype V1 APSs Phase 4: Delivery of a prototype that the Government determines:

· Successfully completes the Operational Test Readiness Review II (OTRR II)

· Successfully completes the Performance Demonstration II (PD II)

· Meets the requirements in 3.1.2 Prototype V2 APSs

1.2 DOWN-SELECTION:

The Government’s intent is that all vendors will go through Phases 3. At the end of Phase 3, the Government will conduct a down-select to 1 vendor based on relative best value/superiority to move to Phase 4 and/or possibly to follow-on production (from Phases 3 and/or 4). While more than one vendor may be determined to be successful at the end of Phase 3, the government intends to select only one vendor to potentially move to follow-on production AND possible Phase 4 performance.

Phase 3 Down-Selection is intended to be based on:

· Technical Criteria: SOW 6.2-6.5

· SOW 6.2 Performance, Reliability, Upgradeability and Maintainability data of the Radio Test Set

· SOW 6.3 Prototype Model V1 system results from Operational Testing & Calibration Testing.

· SOW 6.4/6.5 Effectiveness of the Operator and Field Maintenance course.

· Affordability

· Data-Rights *Specific source selection evaluation plan will be provided to the vendors prior to start of Phase 2 efforts.

1.3 Element Structure

The purpose of creating the element structure is to ensure that the Contractor understands the Government’s metrics, requirements, activities, documents, schedules and deliverables are received as they are outline in this document. Each element structure will be measured on a Go or No Go basis as captured below. If the contractor receives a No Go rating the Contractor must rework the item until a Go rating is obtained and provided by the AOR. If the Contractor is unable or unwilling to rework and improve their rating, then the Contractor could hinder their chances to advance in this competitive prototype developmental effort.

The Government will provide assigned test dates within seven (30) days after the Kick-Off-Meeting.

2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: The TS-4549/T shall be a single test set to test all current and future Army radios. Once a radio is connected to the TS-4549/T it shall automatically and manually, via the APSs, step through a comprehensive series of test parameters and compare the radio’s response to the known limits of the test parameters. All aberrations of limits shall be flagged and reported to the user. The user shall then be able to use the test set to perform operational screening tests, troubleshoot and repair the radio as recommended by the Radio OEM/Army maintenance philosophy.

At this point in time Product Director Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (PdD-TMDE) does not possess any of the Intellectual Property (IP), such as Application Source Code and radio specific information for APSs that runs on the AN/GRM-122. At the time of APSs (historically called TPS) creation, the Government only required the executable code. As such, PdD-TMDE has no IP to use in generating new APSs for the development of the TS-4549/T Radio Test Set. The selected Contractor(s) shall be responsible for generating a new Prototype Radio Test Set with four (4) APSs. The Contractor(s) shall negotiate with the Radio Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to acquire the IP they need. PdD-TMDE will also require the Contractor(s) to submit Government Purpose Rights, IP along with the APSs, development software and compilers for all radios they are required to develop for archival purposes to be used when the TS-4549/T goes obsolete and is replaced. For future radios, the program offices for those radios will be required to submit the same data for radios they want tested on the TS-4549/T.

Two APSs shall demonstrate the ability to support the SINCGARS family of radios and the remaining two APSs shall demonstrate the ability to support Software Defined Radios (SDRs). Vendors shall provide Executable Application Program Software with each Prototype TS-4549/T Radio Test Set. Other required deliverables are listed in Section 4.0. PdD-TMDE will require three months of testing to conduct an assessment of the prototypes (to include the APSs) and Executable Application Program Software using representative fielded radios. The Government intends on operationally testing this Prototype Representative Model as Version 1.0 with the four (4) APSs after the completion of the Operational Test and Readiness Review (OTRR). This assessment will utilize User Facility of Use (UFOU) evaluation in conjunction with CASCOM at Fort Gordon. The operational & calibration test will require the United States Army TMDE Activity (USATA) to conduct a validation and verification of the TS-4549/T Radio Test Set’s instrumentation ability to meet the requirements outlined in accordance with Performance Specification, MIS-PRF-60487A during Operational and Calibration Testing.
