PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

U.S. Army Evaluation Center (AEC) Support Services (AECSS) Performance Work Statement (PWS)

1.0 Introduction.

The U.S. Army Evaluation Center (AEC) is a subordinate activity of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), the Army's independent Operational Test Agency (OTA), developmental tester, and evaluator. As the Army's independent evaluator, AEC's mission, in partnership with ATEC Test Centers and the U.S. Army Operational Test Command, is to provide essential information to decision-makers focusing on the effectiveness, suitability, survivability, and safety of assigned systems to include joint weapon systems where the Army is the Department of Defense (DoD) executive agent and all Army systems. AEC is organized by Directorate competencies with over 600 personnel that consist of Government Civilian, Military, and contractors. About 20% of the personnel that make up AEC are support contractors.

1.1 Mission.

Per General Order 13 dated October 1999, Director, U.S. Army Evaluation Center, is responsible for all assigned developmental and independent operational evaluation of Army materiel, information and acquisition systems, and reports to Commanding General, U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). AEC is the trusted advisor to Army senior leadership, ensuring Soldiers receive operationally effective, suitable, survivable and safe equipment enabling Army readiness.

AEC is responsible for all assigned developmental and independent operational evaluation of Army materiel, information and acquisition systems, an inherently governmental mission. AEC assists the Chief of Staff of the Army decision making process by supporting Army Capabilities Integration Development System (A-CIDS) processes as well as supporting the Army Futures Command through the Cross Functional Team (CFT) concept.

AEC evaluates operational effectiveness by determining if the system provides intended benefits to the Force. AEC determines impacts to readiness through Human Systems Integration (HSI), Unit Systems Integration (USI), and Army Systems Integration (ASI), DOTMLPF-P impacts, integrated suitability reviews (ISR) and operational suitability reviews (OSR) in partnership with the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition Policy and Logistics (DASA APL). AEC evaluates ballistics survivability and lethality missions, adversarial assessments/threat computer network operations, cooperative vulnerability and penetration assessments (CVPA), and electronic warfare (EW) (attack, support) countermeasures in support of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2016 Section 1647, Establishment of Cybersecurity and Electromagnetic Affects (CEMA). AEC manages, plans, and executes Information Assurance (IA) operational assessments during annual Combatant Command and Army Service exercises in support of the congressionally mandated Office of the Secretary of Defense Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (OSD DOT&E) assessment, and performs the operational test agency (OTA) duties for the Ballistic Missile Defense System.
