The contractor shall perform systems engineering for potential new MPRA systems, for
systems under development, in increment development. The contractor shall define and
document system dependencies and impacts. Typical tasks assigned to the contractor shall
include support and development of products for: research and technical analysis; advanced
capabilities; functional requirements definition; IA; verification/test; system design
documentation; integrated logistics; and security.
Specific expertise is needed in the following subsystem areas: Link-11, Link-16, INMARSAT
commercial satellite system, HF, V/UHF, military SATCOM communications equipment,
Common Data Link (CDL), AGM-84K SLAM-ER, MK-54 Torpedo, Quickstrike series mines,
sonobuoys, APY-10 Radar, P-8A derivative MX-20 Electro-optics Infra-red sensor, P-8A
derivative ALQ-218 ESM system, P-8A Early Warning Self Protection system, P-8A
Intercommunications System, COMSEC devices, flight deck avionics to include the Flight
Management System (FMS), P-8A Performance Based System Specification (PBSS)
requirements, P-8A Software and Software Test, P-8A Integration, P-8A Mission Systems, P-8A
Test & Evaluation, P-8A Training, Trainer support, and P-8A Incremental upgrades.
3.1 Research and Technical Analysis
The contractor shall perform research and analysis in the area of system processing, throughput
and capabilities analysis. The contractor shall develop studies and white papers for areas of
potential system/sensor growth. The contractor shall analyze and develop plans to upgrade or
replace obsolete subsystems and sensors, including communications, navigation, media/storage
devices, flight management systems, stores management systems, acoustics sensors, electronic
support measures (ESM), electro-optics/infra-red (EO/IR), and magnetic sensors, as well as the
applicable data/video recorders with new commercially-based capabilities. Efforts shall include,
but not be limited to, meteorological and oceanographic analysis, obsolescence remediation,
computer-based modeling analysis, and advanced data and signal processing analysis. This also
includes improvements in conjunction with other Navy efforts, such as the study of
commonality of acoustic processing with other Navy platforms, and the improvements in open
architecture commercial signal processing. The contractor shall develop draft capabilities
description documents and operational concept documents for incorporation of new capabilities
and sensors into surveillance platforms.
The contractor shall also perform surveys, impact studies and engineering analyses of mission
operational concepts. The contractor shall define the operational context and develop tactics for
each assigned sensor program.
The contractor shall perform systems engineering for the development and production of
avionics systems. Engineering areas of relevance include hardware and software architecture
design, avionics mission systems integration, communications architecture, network design,
aircraft integration, and engineering drafting of fleet-deliverable documentation. Support may
involve systems and software utilized by or interfaced with the different MSA platforms;
Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) systems, weapon
systems, navigation systems, sensor systems, and other avionics improvement efforts. The
contractor shall generate trade-off analyses, risk analyses and risk mitigation plans, engineering
