1.0 Overview

1.1 Introduction.

This Statement of Work (SOW) describes efforts in which scientific, engineering, technical assistance, and analytical (SETA) support is required by Government agencies involved in Space, Homeland Defense, Missile Defense, and relevant efforts by other Department of Defense (DoD) and Government agencies.

This SOW outlines the purpose and goals as well as the overall objective for contractors to provide SETA support required by the principal agencies involved to support the definition, planning, development and execution of their organization missions and the Army. The contractor’s roles and responsibilities will likely evolve, as will organizations, missions and functional areas to be supported. This SOW establishes currently known areas to be supported and allows for growth and flexibility in the development and evolution of space, missile defense, and other initiatives. This SOW is not written to tell the contractor how to provide support; rather, it describes what is required.

1.2 Background

U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command Army Forces Strategic Command (SMDC/ARSTRAT) elements are located worldwide. SMDC/ARSTRAT is organized to lead and focus the Army’s efforts to integrate space and Missile defense capabilities into tactical operations and to protect the Nation and our deployed forces from missile attack. SMDC/ARSTRAT has gone from an organization focused on developing an effective counter to missiles like the German V-2, to the current organization as the Army Major Command focused on exploring and exploiting the opportunities of space and meeting the challenges of missile defense, to the newest mission as the ASCC for US Strategic Command.

As the Army Component to US STRATCOM, the mission of SMDC/ARSTRAT includes the following tasks:

· Serve as the single point of contact for Army space forces, and advocate, plan and conduct space operations.

· Plan, integrate and coordinate global Army missile defense operations.

· Monitor Army C4ISR support of STRATCOM.

· Coordinate Army Information Operations capabilities in support of STRATCOM.

· Plan for and support Army forces supporting STRATCOM’s Global Strike operations.

SMDC/ARSTRAT is focused on customer needs and the future. Through a deliberate planning process that incorporates the Army Performance Improvement Criteria (APIC), SMDC/ARSTRAT has established specific strategic goals derived from our mission, vision, and values. These goals clearly define the command’s path to the future.
