Scope This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required to sustain the Weather and Radar Processor (WARP) hardware, software, firmware and adaptation data, and provide support to sustain existing WARP services. The Government intends to maintain the current capabilities and functionality of the WARP system as defined with the completion of the WMSS II Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) 01 and ECP02. This contract is designed to ensure that the WARP system availability is maintained in accordance with (IAW) the requirements of Attachment J-03, the WARP System Specification, "U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Specification Weather and Radar Processor, FAA-E-2898" and Attachment J-07, the Weather Information Network Service (WINS) specification, “U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Specification Weather Information Network Service, FAA-E-3031, herein referred to as the “WARP System Specifications.”

The WARP system is defined by the system requirements in Section 3 of J-03 and J-07, the WARP System Specifications. This SOW also includes provisions for program management, maintenance support, systems engineering, system test and evaluation, quality assurance, configuration management, helpdesk support, and logistics support.

The WARP system is a computer-based interactive, meteorological data processing system that simultaneously and continuously receives, processes, stores, distributes, and displays aviation-related weather information and radar products. Each WARP consists of the Weather Server, the Communications Subsystem, the Meteorologist’s Workstation, Briefing Terminals, the Monitor & Control (M&C) workstation, the Weather Information Network Service (WINS), and the Radar Acquisition and Mosaic Processor (RAMP). The WINS consists of Central Distribution Nodes (CDN) at two (2) Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC), Regional Distribution Nodes (RDN) at four (4) ARTCCs, and Local Distribution Nodes (LDN) at all ARTCCs and three (3) Center Radar Approach Control (CERAP) facilities. WARP also includes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Bulk Weather Telecommunications Gateway (FBWTG) Server at the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC).

WARP provides four (4) primary functions:

1) Timely and accurate weather displays to Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) integrated with controller display systems. These displays are WARP generated mosaics of Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) weather radar data.

2) Support to the Traffic Management Unit (TMU) and the Air Traffic Control Specialists and Supervisors at the ARTCC, the ATCSCC, and CERAPs.

3) Provision of weather information and forecasts via the workstation display to the Center Weather Service Unit (CWSU) meteorologist. This capability facilitates a common situational awareness in the en route environment.

4) Dissemination of weather information to other National Airspace System (NAS) subsystems.

The WARP system is deployed at 21 ARTCCs and the ATCSCC, three (3) CERAPs, with three (3) test development systems located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC). In addition to the full WARP system deployments at the aforementioned locations, Briefing Terminals are deployed at three (3) Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities.

C.1.1 Decommissioning of WARP The WARP system will be replaced by a combination of features provided by the Common Support Services – Weather (CSS-Wx) system and the Nextgen Weather Processor (NWP) system. Attachment J-11 NWP System Implementation – Site Operational Readiness Decision (ORD) Milestones shows the major milestones that will enable the WARP system to be decommissioned.

The level of effort required to execute the tasks described in this SOW will assume a fully deployed WARP system across all option periods (no sites decommissioned). However, the Government reserves the right to enter into a future bilateral de-scoping of the SOW taking into account these anticipated milestones or variations thereof. It is expected that the deployment of NWP and the corresponding draw down of the WARP system will be reflected in at a minimum the following CDRL items:

The Government reserves the right to witness or verify testing at any level on a non-interference basis. The Contractor must maintain a WARP system conforming to the current operational baseline for system analysis, investigation, and troubleshooting of field issues.

C.1.1.10 Maintenance Release Test Contractor Release Test (CRT) The Contractor must conduct testing for each planned and approved WARP maintenance release. The scope of release testing and the meaning of the allocated requirements as they pertain to a release will be determined and approved by the Government prior to Contractor Release Test (CRT) in the Government approved test procedures. The CRT will be formally witnessed by the Government and must verify the capability of the modifications to meet functional, interface, and performance requirements of the WARP System Specifications. The system power and product receipt functions must remain on for the full duration of CRT. The Contractor must supply a CM certified closed system with any deviations from the standard ARTCC and/or ATCSCC configurations identified prior to the start of CRT.

The CRT must include a continuous 48-hour closed-system stability test. The purpose of the test is to measure the WARP system performance over an extended period while performing those functions routinely used in an ARTCC and ATCSCC environment. The Contractor must prepare a base test load scenario pertinent to the stability test. The scenario may be different between the Contractor’s facility and the WJHTC. This load scenario must be run on the current operational baseline (at both the Contractor’s facility and the WJHTC) and performance and load data captured, analyzed, and documented. For each release (CRT and Site Release Test (SRT)) this same load scenario must be executed, and the data captured and compared with the benchmark that was previously captured and documented.

The Contractor must prepare test documentation IAW FAA-STD-024b. The CRT procedures must include a list of all test equipment and test software used, and for test equipment, make, model, serial number, and certification data must be identified. The Contractor must explicitly describe in graphical and textual form the test equipment interconnection with WARP equipment under test. The Contractor must define and identify in the test procedures the functions, data interfaces, and interactions of test software. The Government will evaluate any and all issues arising from CRT testing to determine the suitability of SRT activities. If further investigation into the nature and/or cause of said issues is required, the Government will determine which repair or rework must be completed prior to SRT activities. The Contractor must complete repair or rework as requested by the Government prior to SRT activities. Delivery will be through installation of corrected CRT software to be used for SRT. The Government will determine the extent of retest that is required. Procedural requirements apply to all classes and levels of testing.

Site Release Test (SRT) The Contractor must conduct a SRT on the WARP system after successful delivery and installation of a CRT baseline maintenance release at the WJHTC, and at the operational sites, if required by the FAA. The scope of release testing and the meaning of the allocated requirements as they pertain to a release will be determined and approved by the Government prior to SRT in the Government approved test procedures. The Contractor must certify the FAA test system prior to the load and installation of the release, to ensure proper configuration and baseline prior to commencement of SRT activities. The SRT must verify the capability of the modifications to meet functional, interface and performance requirements of the WARP System Specifications, with live interfaces, and demonstrate the corrections associated with any PTRs contained in the release.

The SRT must include a continuous 48-hour closed-system stability test. The purpose of the test is to measure the WARP system performance over an extended period while performing those functions routinely used in an ARTCC, ATCSCC, and CERAP environment. The Contractor must prepare a base test load scenario pertinent to the stability test. The scenario may be different between Contractor’s facility and the WJHTC. This load scenario must be run on the current operational baseline (at both the Contractor’s facility and the WJHTC) and performance and load data captured, analyzed, and documented.

The system power and simulated product receipt functions must remain on for the full duration of SRT. During SRT, the Contractor must provide hardware and software maintenance support. The Government will evaluate any and all issues arising from SRT testing to determine the suitability of acceptance of the baseline. SRT activities must demonstrate that the WARP system is correctly installed and operating to specification.

C.1.1.11 Test Equipment All test equipment (and test software), required for use during tests conducted at the test facility must be provided by the Contractor or Subcontractor. During tests conducted on-site, the Contractor must be responsible for assuring that all test equipment is available, on time, calibrated, and fully operational to support all tests. Use of Government test equipment may be possible where Government test equipment is on site, is available, and meets all specified test equipment requirements. All test equipment used during the CRT or SRT, tests must be standard commercial equipment and must not be modified. The test equipment must operate in the manner specified by the test equipment manufacturer. Use of custom test equipment or modified commercial test equipment requires approval in writing by the Government.

C.1.1.12 Retest The Contractor must conduct retesting of failed tests that occur. The Contractor must complete all repair or rework prior to submission for retest. The Contractor must perform corrective action to assure full specification compliance. The Contractor must submit in writing all information concerning the non-compliance and corrective action. The Government will determine the extent of retest required and timing of the retest. If a review of the reasons for failure to comply with specification requirements indicates that the cause may exist as latent defects in items previously accepted, the Contractor must be responsible to correct the defects in all units in a time period identified by the Government, even those previously accepted by the Government. The Contractor must re-verify, by testing, that the defect(s) have been corrected and no new defects have been introduced.

Logistics Support The Contractor must execute a Logistics Support program IAW the requirements contained in this SOW. The Logistics Support program must consist of the total set of tasks, both management and executive, required to accomplish supporting and maintaining all WARP systems installed. The Logistics Support effort must be conducted as an integral part of the WARP System maintenance process.

C.1.1.13 Depot Level Support The Contractor must provide depot level logistics support for all identified WARP hardware and software configured items. This support must include stocking, storing, issuing, and shipping expendable, consumable and repairable items. Those items covered by warranty must be replaced at no cost to the Government. The Contractor must repair, if it is cost effective, all repairable Expendable and Replaceable (E&R) LRUs returned from FAA field sites. The Contractor shall take into consideration to Section C.1.1 Decommissioning of WARP when stocking, shipping and repairing items.
