STATEMENT OF WORK

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

Hurricane Research Platform Replacement for WP-3D Orion

Analysis of Alternatives Study

Revised December 22, 2014

1.0 GENERAL

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO), Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), MacDill AFB, Florida, operates two WP-3D Orion aircraft in support of NOAA and national research. The priority missions of these aircraft are hurricane research and surveillance during the hurricane season as well as national priority atmospheric research support the remainder of the year. These two aircraft, N42RF and N43RF, will be undergoing a Service Life Extension (SLE) program to extend their operational service lives out until 2030. It is the goal of OMAO to have a replacement platform operational by 01 January 2028 to conduct a smooth transition to the next generation NOAA Weather Research platform.

This Statement of Work (SOW) is prepared for an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) for sensors and platforms that would be feasible for fleet induction in time to replace the NOAA WP-3Ds.

2.0 SCOPE

The goals of the AoA study for the replacement of the NOAA WP-3D aircraft are listed below.

All requirements, missions and references are in regard to those that are currently performed by the NOAA WP-3D aircraft (not NOAA light aircraft). Emphasis is on tropical cyclone data but the study should address the full range of possible NOAA missions; Office of Atmospheric Research (OAR) Hurricane, OAR Air Chemistry, OAR Climate, National Weather Service (NWS) Research and National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Services (NESDIS) Research, suitable for a heavy aircraft type platform that would be conducted by an airborne platform similar to the current WP-3D. The contractor is allowed to use internal procedures and processes as necessary, but must follow the guidelines under NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 208-3 and 216-108. Contractor shall also follow best practices in regards to conducting a formal AoA. NOAA recommends the U.S. Air Force Office of Aerospace Studies (OAS) AoA Handbook (June 2013) as a guide.

Goals of the AoA Study
