(End of clause) Statement of Work Operational Assessment (OA) for Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) 1. Background: The JHSV program will deploy a high-speed, shallow draft vessel intended for rapid intra-theater transport of personnel and medium sized cargo payloads. The purpose of the OA is to assess critical issues associated with JHSV operational capabilities and limitations, the effectiveness of the equipment configuration and interfaces, the manning concept, the concept of operations, and risks to successful completion of the Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E). The JHSV OA will be conducted by Commander Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR), and will take place at Fort Eustis, VA, from 26-30 January 2009. 2. General Requirements: The Contractor shall provide a Master, a Chief Mate, and a Chief Engineer, all of whom have extensive experience in operating High Speed Vessels, to serve as subject matter experts (SMEs) supporting the development of the OA. Each of the three SMEs will be required for five days at nine hours per day. SMEs will be expected to review material prior to the start of the OA. The read ahead material will be available to the SMEs through a web site to be provided. This material will be unclassified documents such as the JHSV Capabilities Development Document (CDD), concepts of operation, and the JHSV OA test plan. Total time required for this document review is anticipated to be less than 10 hours. SMEs will also be asked to download and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement prior to arriving at Fort Eustis. Normal work day will be from 0800 to 1700. There is no anticipation of additional time required by SMEs to complete the OA beyond these 45 hours. All OA SME participants will assemble on the first day of the test in a common auditorium for a review of the OA agenda and concepts; the data collection process; the required deliverables on JHSV construction contract; and the JHSV Critical Operational Issues (COI), which the focus group will use to support its assessment of the JHSV. The presentation will ensure that all parties have a clear understanding of their role in the OA. SMEs will receive JHSV overview briefings from Program Office, Navy, Army, and Marine Corps sponsor representatives. These briefings are intended to provide broad and overarching JHSV background information that will provide the SMEs with a common understanding of the ship’s missions, capabilities, and limitations. After being briefed, SMEs will, at the direction of the Operations Test Director, reconvene by area of expertise for detailed data reviews and assessments within their responsible mission areas. Upon completion of focus group activities, all SMEs will return to a common auditorium where they will receive a summary of the key issues identified during the OA. Daily focus group operations will include the general activities outlined below. • Focus groups will assess assigned effectiveness and suitability of Critical Operational Issues (COI) individually, independent from other focus groups, and in accordance with a provided schedule. • Focus groups will receive detailed mission-specific briefs from Program Office, Navy, Army, and Marine Corps sponsor representatives, as appropriate, to support COI assessment. The briefs will be provided to the focus group immediately prior to commencing the assessment of the associated individual COI. • SMEs will review the available resource material, concentrating on the specific COI being assessed. • SMEs will conduct group discussions concerning the missions associated with the specific COI being assessed. • SMEs will individually complete survey sheets on each COI. The individual SMEs shall participate in the focus groups by providing their own issues and point of view even if it differs from the consensus of the focus group in general. The survey sheets will be collected by the facilitators daily and prior to breaking up for final out-briefs. SMEs will complete the survey sheets during the OA focus group period. The facilitators will consolidate the data collected for subsequent analysis. SMEs will be required to sign trusted agent forms stating that they will not discuss issues identified during the OA prior to final approval of the test report. 3. Specific Requirements. SMEs must have experience operating an HSV of comparable size (Length: 300-350 feet; Width: 80-100 feet; Displacement: 1800-2100 LT) to the JHSV. The SME Master and Chief Mate shall provide input in areas of their respective areas of expertise applicable to high speed vessels, including, but not limited to the following: • Navigation and ship control systems; • Ship operations (restricted waters maneuvering, CONREP, boat ops, tactical maneuvering, man overboard, MOOTW, Special Evolutions Manning, etc.) Austere Ports/Pier Interfaces Mission Deck Operations; • Cargo Movement; • Homeport/pier compatibility; • Shipboard administration and personnel support; • Environmental protection/hazardous material and waste management; • Deck Manning Boat Ops Lifeboats; • Port/Pier Interfaces; and • Crane Operations Load Plans.
