AR/PA Engineering Support Services (C)

The purpose of this Task Order (TO) is to procure engineering support services for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona

Division (hereafter referred to as Corona Division). Corona Division is a Naval Sea System (NAVSEA) Command activity, and is the

Navy's independent assessment agent. The mission of Corona Division is to "Provide transparency to warfighting readiness through data

analytics and assessment, engineering the Fleet's Live-Virtual-Constructive training environment, and assuring the accuracy of

measurements."

Contractor personnel shall be responsible for assisting in support of telemetry systems engineering and satellite data transfer and

communications systems engineering necessary for the acquisition, processing, distribution, and analysis of weapons and combat systems,

weapon and Command Control (C2) data during major test and evaluation events and combat system ship qualification trials. Similar

functions are provided in support of major training exercises and total ship readiness assessment events. Contractor personnel shall be

responsible for assisting with the validation of analysis tools used to analyze these diverse data in order to produce and deliver a wide range

of performance assessment products to a broad base of defense programs and officials in the technical support communities.

Contractor support for the PA Department shall include: conducting performance assessment of deploying/deployed complete weapons and

combat systems; managing operational collection, distribution, and analysis of Navy, Joint, and Coalition warfare system data; identify and

evaluate factors that enhance/limit systems capability/effectiveness; Produce the analytic framework to identify performance issues and

validate corrective actions; and Provide training feedback to operational Naval forces and Navy-wide training community for in-port/at-sea

exercises.

Contractor support for the AR Department shall include: supporting crucial functions necessary to deliver readiness assessment products to

the Surface Warfare Enterprise, associated programs, and supporting Information Technology activities. The Contractor shall be responsible

for authoritative Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RM&A) analyses and assessments of weapons, combat systems,

Command/Control/Communications/Computers and Intelligence (C4I) systems, hull, mechanical, and electrical systems for surface ships,

submarines, and aircraft carriers. The Contractor will support initiatives as diverse as Navy readiness and combat system kill chains, Navy

and Marine Corps utilities management, and cyber security/warfare assessment. The Contractor shall assist in operating information systems

that monitor and report on fleet maintenance, material condition, troubled systems, and ship casualty status also referred to as Casualty

Report (CASREPS). The Contractor shall also assist with stockpile reliability assessment of surface weapons and special analyses to

establish certification periods for surface missile system and operate data systems to automate fleet return missile repair, technology update,

and recertification processing at remote intermediate-level maintenance facilities.
