STATEMENT OF WORK HU-25 ICE Protocol Upgrade to PTAC 05 January 2005 1.0 Background The USCG needs to have the OASIS processors on its HU-25C and HU-25D airframes modified. The ICE (Imaging and Communications Environment) program on the HU-25 presently uses TACO2 as its protocol (imbedded operating system). During the initial modification of the HU-25 sensor aircraft, the C-130 upgraded its ICE protocol from TACO2 to PTAC on its CASPER equipped airframes. PTAC protocol is also being used by MIFC (Maritime Intelligence Fusion Center) and PACAREA. In addition, the Seventh District Operations Center will be installing a desktop version of the OASIS system for connectivity with air and surface assets in their AOR in February 2005. They will also be operating their ICE with PTAC protocol. 2.0 Purpose The purpose of this contract is to allow imaging and track data to be communicated between the HU-25 and other USCG assets. The HU-25 aircraft needs to have its ICE protocol upgraded to PTAC. 3.0 Program Schedule The Contractor shall develop and maintain an integrated program schedule to support its management needs and for reporting purposes. The program schedule shall present an integrated schedule plan for the design, development, and test, of the PTAC protocol installation. The initial program schedule shall be delivered 1 month after receipt of order in Contractor Format. Any changes or delays to the program schedule shall be discussed with, and approved by, the Government?s Contracting Officer?s Technical Representative (COTR). CDRL A001 Program Schedule 4.0 Scope The scope of this contract will encompass the following activities: 4.1 The contractor shall perform the necessary hardware and software upgrades to the 18 USCG ? owned OASIS processors (p/n 102689-00) in order for the ICE program in the OASIS processors to use PTAC as its protocol. The upgrades shall be in two phases. 4.2 Phase 1 - The contractor shall perform initial upgrade installation on two (2) OASIS processors. In addition, the OASIS processors shall be loaded with the most recent version of ODS software at that time. Testing on the first two processors shall be performed at the contractor?s facility. After successfully testing of the first two OASIS processors, system testing onboard an HU-25 shall be performed to verify the connectivity between two USCG assets utilizing PTAC as the protocol for ICE. In addition, the new ODS software shall be operationally tested. One contractor representative shall travel from contractor?s facility to USCG Air Station Miami to perform the above-required tests. This testing shall be witnessed and verified by a qualified (HU-25 SSO qualified) USCG representative. Successful completion of above testing shall complete Phase 1. CDRL B001 Phase 1 Completion and Test Report 4.3 Phase 2 Note: Phase 2 shall not commence until Phase 1 is completed. Phase 2 will encompass the modification of the remaining 16 HU-25 OASIS processors. These 16 processors shall be delivered to the contractor?s facility, by the USCG, on a rotating (nose to tail) schedule for their upgrade modification. The contractor shall send the modified processors back to the USCG field units for installation. Coordination and scheduling of processor throughput shall be with the HU-25 Projects Office at the USCG Aircraft Repair and Supply Center (AR&SC). Upon installation of the PTAC protocol and accompanied ODS software upgrades, the contractor shall perform a functionality, quality assurance test/check of the PTAC upgrade in each OASIS processor prior to return shipment to the USCG. After modification of the remaining 16 OASIS processors, coupled with the final delivery to the USCG, the contractor shall submit a completion report to the USCG COTR for review and acceptance.
