The 412 Electronic Warfare Group (EWG), Edwards AFB, CA, intends to solicit and compete a limited competition, Cost-Plus Fixed Fee contract to the successful bidder. The contract will consist of multiple services that are detailed in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). This requirement is for ALL services identified in the PWS. Any qualified and interested companies responding to this announcement must be able to support all areas. NO partial support responses from industry will be accepted. The Government is seeking only, qualified, experienced sources interested in performing the services identified in the attached PWS.
Minimum Qualifications
General
The contractor must have current domain expertise in the field of military electronic warfare systems, both U.S./friendly and hostile. The contractor must have knowledge of the nature and operation of ground-based and airborne radar systems, complex and unique air defense modeling and simulation systems, electronic warfare passive sensors (both RF and IR), command and control networks and command and control techniques, integrated air defense systems and techniques, communications and datalink radio systems.
The contractor must also have experience in the use of signal simulators and stimulators in the test and evaluation of electronic warfare systems, including radar signal simulators, radar target return simulators, communications and navigation signal simulators, GPS signal simulators, and command and control simulators. The contractor must have in-depth expertise in these systems to develop and determine detailed integration requirements, programming requirements, and user/operator needs when multiple systems are integrated together. When connected together the multiple systems must be capable of coherent and synchronous operation.
DIADS Validation and Correlation
The contractor must have detailed knowledge of the DIADS (Digital Integrated Air Defense System) and the complexities associated with its interface within the ITIP (Installed Test Integration Program) architecture to satisfactorily perform the tasks related to validation and correlation. Only high level documentation of the DIADS and ITIP architecture is available. The contractor must have experience and knowledge specific to the normal and special management program aspects of the DIADS validation and correlation program. The validation and correlation activities are conducted at specific remote facilities. Since training of data analysts is not available at these facilities and access is very limited, it is absolutely necessary that the contractor have personnel that either have current or prior experience and knowledge to perform the highly complex data reduction and analysis tasks at these remote facilities.
ITIP System Components
The contractor must have detailed knowledge of the capabilities, design, and operation of the existing ITIP system components. These components include: Scenario Development, Test Control, Real-time Displays (including the Symvionics-developed Interactive Analysis and Display System ®), Data Reduction and Analysis. The contractor must have expertise in the internal design of the ITIP components, how they are implemented in hardware and software, and how they are interconnected to function with each other. The contractor must have experience in the integration of physically distributed real-time signal generation and control subsystems. The contractor must understand how each of these components support the Benefield Anechoic Facility (BAF) ground test activities and how they integrate to support the more complex multi-sensor test scenarios. The contractor must have expertise in software engineering and programming to undertake modifications of a large base of existing software code. The contractor must have experience in the Microsoft “.net” framework upon which this code is based.
Requirements
General Tasks
(a) Develop and install new releases of the ITIP and DIADS software at the 412 EWG and conduct site acceptance testing.
(b) Provide system administrative support for the DIADS software at the 412 EWG, to include system administrative support for DIADS workstations running both Sun Solaris and Red Hat Linux.
(c) Provide support in the development and modifications of ITIP and DIADS scenarios and laydowns and DIADS player library databases utilizing appropriate intelligence sources and support government personnel in the operations and maintenance of the DIADS model.
(d) Provide general purpose software tools (scripts and patches) for use with DIADS and other models as part of the analysis and exercise support; the development of scripts for the automatic retrieval of data from DoD databases and reformatting the data for use with the DIADS model; the development of scripts to extract post-mission data from the DIADS model and display it with a visualization program; the development of software to interface with DIADS during runtime and provide interim patches for DIADS software deficiencies.
(e) Provide support to government personnel in the setup, testing and operation of ITIP and DIADS systems; exercise support to include system architecture development, scenario development, testing, player development, and post exercise analysis.
(f) Provide network support for exercise and development networks where DIADS is installed; administrative and operational support for simulations interfaced to DIADS at various off-site model locations.
(g) Provide software development for DIADS to include: integrating DIADS into Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) and High Level Architecture (HLA) federations/exercises; modifying the existing code to correct deficiencies in the model and incorporate new code into the model to provide additional capabilities when requested.
(h) Develop new DIADS players, as required; develop command and control (C2) players and Surface to Air Missiles (SAM) players; develop Ground Control Intercept (GCI) players for DIADS as outlined by the 412 EWG and support the validation/correlation of DIADS players and scenarios, as required.
(i) Support ITIP and DIADS test/analysis activities by developing test requirements, preparing test plans and scenarios, conducting tests, performing data reduction and analysis, preparing test reports, recommending fixes/improvements.
(j) Identify, develop, and document system, subsystem, and configuration item requirements.
(k) Perform system interface development and integration of sometimes dissimilar 3rd party systems.
(l) Identify and document interface requirements; design hardware and software interface approaches; and manage the implementation of interfaces through final test.
(m) Develop real-time software and resolve real-time programming constraints; perform hardware/software integration; develop real-time data processing and display systems; develop user interfaces; develop storage, cataloging, and reporting tools for use with large sets of data; develop report generation tools for stored data.
(n) Identify trade spaces in new designs, and perform sufficient engineering analysis to propose best-case tradeoffs for new capabilities.
(o) Develop DIADS and ITIP system technical documentation, including: system user manuals; system design documentation; system programming and administration manuals; system hardware and functional diagrams; and system security documents
(p) Plan, develop, and present training courses on the design, maintenance, and operation of the systems.
(q) Develop the integration of DIADS into new ITIP systems utilizing the simulator interface processor (SIP) approach to interfacing the DIADS and the simulators/stimulators. The systems are required to operate synchronously and be coherent for certain type of test configurations.
(r) Perform test control, data reduction, test control and display system improvements and upgrades under various task directives.
