STATEMENT OF WORK

BES III

1.0 Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the work required to be performed for the Project Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE) for the Battlefield Effects Simulator (BES) III contract. This effort will provide for the basic production, integration, testing, fielding and installation of a training aide(s) replicating range effects in support of training. This includes other associated efforts such as integration services, logistics support, manuals, training and technical data for the procurement and/or fielding of systems on various range types throughout the Army.

1.1 Background

The United States Army has a requirement to deliver a training device designed to provide real-time feedback to units conducting Force-On-Target (FOT) tactical training and realistic battlefield effects. The BES system will be used in day and night range exercises for visual and acoustic target recognition at stationary range positions with a target mechanism (stationary) or mounted on a moving target platform. The system will be designed to produce a flash/bang and smoke signature that simulates/replicates a large caliber weapon fire of a hostile threat and/or an impact round on an armor target. The BES system will be a core feature in support of live fire ranges throughout the Army as identified within Training Circular (TC) 25-8.

Multiple PEO STRI programs such as the Future Army Systems of Integrated Targets (FASIT), Combat Training Centers (CTCs), Instrumented Ranges (Digital Range Training System (DRTS)) are reliant on the BES system in order to support the training mission requirements.

3.5 BES Testing and Fielding

3.5.1 First Article Testing / Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) The contractor shall conduct an in-plant First Article Test of production representative samples from the first delivery lot to ensure the system meets all requirements of the FASIT requirement documents and the BES III performance specification. The testing shall be contractor operated with Government witnesses and follow a structured test procedure. The test shall demonstrate the technical capability to achieve requirements. The testing/demo shall also include a review of draft CDRL documents The contractor shall ensure any unique site equipment required for integration or testing is requested from the Government for temporary loan (as available) to the contractor for this effort.

The Government shall verify the system hardware and technical documentation for completeness and accuracy. The PCA examines the updated physical configuration of the system and verifies that the components correspond to the build-to product baseline documentation. The PCA shall include inspection of inventory/equipment lists, documentation, drawings, spares, and all manuals.

The contractor shall support the Government’s verification of the “as-built” drawings. The drawings shall include complete system level drawings of all equipment, wiring, network topology, and system architecture. Drawings shall be either new or revised with changes incorporated. The contractor shall support the Government’s final review of the system level Operator and Maintainer’s Manuals.

3.5.2 In-Plant Testing / Acceptance

If required by the Delivery Order, the Government will conduct in-plant acceptance testing (GAT) of the final system to ensure the system meets all requirements of the FASIT and BES III performance specifications. The testing shall be contractor operated with Government witnesses and follow a structured test procedure. The test shall demonstrate the functional requirements, assess the adequacy of the system, and ensure the end user has the logistics and technical capability to achieve the requirements. The contractor shall ensure any unique site equipment required for integration or testing is requested from the Government for temporary loan (as available) to the contractor for this effort. Key efforts shall include but are not limited to:

a. Receiving hardware

b. Installing hardware and software components

c. Integrating and configuring software

d. Testing system hardware and software to the maximum extent possible (with scaled hardware quantities)

e. Preliminary verification of manuals

f. Reviewing of New Equipment Training (NET) material

g. In-plant testing

To meet the above effort, a test bed environment shall be setup at the contractor’s facility with Government access. The intent of this test bed environment is to demonstrate the requirements of the system and to maximize integration prior to onsite installation in order to minimize range downtime. The contractor shall use FASIT compliant test tools to operate the system.

3.5.3 On-Site Installation

The contractor shall perform all work necessary to integrate the system into the site infrastructure if required by the Delivery Order. The contractor shall bring all equipment, parts, and tools necessary to complete the installation. The Government and contractor shall have a meeting to discuss the site fielding schedule and fielding requirements. The Government will be responsible for coordinating the required downtime due to fielding with the site. The contractor shall minimize system training downtime.

3.5.4 Site Survey

The contractor shall perform a site survey at each location where target pit installation is necessary to clarify site details, identify potential situations that require additional efforts and perform the analysis of the legacy equipment. Prior to the survey, the Government and contractor shall have a meeting to discuss the site survey schedule as well as identify data requests. The site survey shall not exceed one (1) day on site. The Government will be responsible for coordinating the site survey with the site. The contractor shall provide a written trip report after any site survey. The site survey report shall not act as the formal approval to deviate from the design. If a change is required, the contractor shall coordinate with the Government on how to proceed.

3.5.5 On-Site Testing / Acceptance

If required by the Delivery Order, the contractor shall perform a contractor test at the fielding location. After installation and integration is completed, the contractor shall conduct an onsite contractor test (CT) to verify that the BES are operational. The CT shall be conducted prior to GAT and allows the contractor the opportunity to verify the system is prepared to be tested by the Government. The contractor shall notify the Government when the CT will be executed in the event the Government elects to attend. The CT test procedure will be redlined during CT and submitted for approval before GAT.

The Government will test all requirements during the initial fielding of each system and will use the performance specification to determine testing requirements on subsequent fieldings. The contactor shall provide the adequate number of printed paper copies of all the documents as well as the appropriate personnel support required for Government Acceptance Testing (GAT). The contractor shall provide all documentation and certification credentials as required per the performance specification as part of the first delivery GAT.

3.5.6 Warranty

The contractor shall provide a one year warranty for all devices delivered under this contract.

Acceptance of a warranty does not waive the Government’s rights under the “Inspection” clause, neither does it limit the Government’s rights with regard to the other terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the contract shall take precedence over any standard commercial warranty. The warranty period shall begin with Government final device/target acceptance. The contractor shall cover shipping and packaging costs for all items covered under the warranty.

3.5.7 Interim Contractor Support (ICS)

As required by the Delivery Order, the contractor shall provide support for two weeks starting at the first operational event following NET.
