PID Draft Performance Work Statement

SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK/PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Work under this performance-based contract will be performed in accordance with the following description/ specifications/ statement of work (SOW) which herein will be referred to as Performance Work Statement (PWS): SHORT TITLE: Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3), Test, Evaluation, and Range Services Support of C6ISR Systems
1.0

PURPOSE

1.1

SCOPE

This PWS will support Test and Evaluation efforts of Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) of C6ISR systems vital to the integration, and support to the warfighter. Performance of this work requires strong technical understanding and application of engineering principles regarding the effects of electromagnetic (EM) radiation and EM spectrum.
Additional engineering testing will include Test and Evaluation efforts supporting the TEMPEST Program and Protected Distribution Systems (PDS) Inspections and Certifications; Environmental Test and Evaluation efforts will include shock/vibration, altitude, salt fog, and temperature/humidity testing. Test and Evaluation (T&E) requires site surveys at physical locations as well as modeling and simulation of sites and equipment sets. Testing that is within the scope of this effort necessitates the application of extensive knowledge of many types of specialized test equipment. Additionally, intimate understanding of data reduction equipment and the use of intensive analytical skills are staples in the efforts to develop reports that provide recommendations to protect systems and equipment from degraded performance due to electromagnetic source emissions.
This PWS will support Goal 4 objectives of the “The Navy’s Information Dominance Roadmap for Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage” (EMSU), and the Electromagnetic Environmental Effect (E3) and Spectrum Management (SM) Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) efforts in providing vital Shipboard Electromagnetic Compatibility Improvement Program (SEMCIP) support to the warfighter. This PWS will also support the Secretary of Defense’s Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy Goal 3: “Pursue Total Force EMS Readiness.” 1.1.1
