Concept Development and Experimentation Support

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Subject Matter Expertise and operational support to concept development and experimentation processes. The primary purpose of the required support is the development of Aviation future concepts, required capabilities, studies, and gap analysis. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform concept development and experimentation support as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: CEAD develops future aviation concepts and plans and conducts experiments to support the evaluation and refinement of these concepts, develop supporting data and analysis for requirements determination and identify and document capability gaps. These concepts underpin Army analysis with the objective of prioritizing gaps and solutions to meet future Army requirements. CEAD contributes to the development of each of these concepts by conducting in-depth analysis of Aviation missions, gaps and capability and technology requirements and integrating these into the cyclical revision of Army Concept Framework. In addition, CEAD produces CONOPS, conducts gap and functional solution analysis, plans and conducts experiments to inform gap analysis and requirements development, participates in Capabilities-Based Assessment (CBA)/Threat-Based Assessmsnts (TBA), and provides Subject Matter Expertise (SME) support to Army Futures Command directed events (i.e., experiments, Staff Exercises (STAFFEX), Division Integration (DivX) events, Future Studies Program (FSP) and Focused Excursions(FE)) to ensure Aviation equities are properly accounted for in Army analysis.

1.3 Objectives: This contract provides support to Army Futures Command (AFC),Aviation Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate (CDID), and the Concepts, Experimentation and Analysis Directorate (CEAD). This contract provides support required to assist CEAD with planning and executing Aviation-related experimentation, reviewing and updating Army and Joint concepts, CBA/CNAs, and documented Aviation requirements in Joint, Army, Functional and Special/Directed Concepts.

1.4 Scope: This contract covers planning and executing Aviation-related experimentation, reviewing and updating Army and Joint concepts, CBA/TBAs, and documented Aviation requirements in Joint, Army, Functional and Special/Directed Concepts. Support will consist of participating in workgroups, Map Exercises (MAPEX), and wargames to integrate aviation capabilities and requirements and supporting CONOPs development, CBA/TBA and Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System documentation. This participation includes the use of constructed scenarios and vignettes as well data collection, data reduction, analysis, and preparation of reports and briefing materials. Contractor will provide on-site and off-site support for CEAD programs, projects, technologies, and efforts and will support concept development while leveraging extensive experience, expertise, resources, and capabilities available within CDID, CEAD and the Army as whole. Additional contractor responsibilities include planning, coordinating, attending, and documenting working groups in support of Joint, Army and

Warfighting Functional concepts, Future Concept Center (FCC) Experimentation events and directed Limited Objective Experiments in support of the Aviation Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate (A-CDID) and other Department of Defense (DoD) organizations as coordinated and approved by Concepts, Experiments and Analysis Directorate. Government retains approval and acceptance authority for any analysis, feasibility studies, and strategies developed under this contract as well as decision authority for course of action selection, approval and implementation. In addition, the Government is responsible for approving all work products the contractor provides in connection with this PWS. While the contractor may make recommendations, a government official will be the final decision authority for all recommendations.
