Synopsis: This requirement encompasses research, development and engineering and systems integration support for the development, manufacture, and sustainment of Army sensor systems that are within Joint Services, Army and DOD Live/Virtual/Constructive (LVC) simulation applications and experimentation events. Associated with the simulation activities are signal processing, algorithms, experimental studies and assessments, sensor performance model development activities, and enhancement and/or modification of personal computer (PC)-based Electro-Optical Training Software packages for Recognition of Combatants (ROC) products. GENERAL: The Modeling and Simulation Division of NVESD has developed a number of LVC C4ISR modeling and simulation applications that are used to support our customer's technology development, concept experimentation, systems analysis, system test and evaluation, production, and operational support of sensor-based systems for the US Army and other DOD organizations. The use of these modeling and simulation applications provide insight into human interaction, support development of engineering design alternatives, allow users to evaluate new tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP), and allow conceptual virtual system to be employed in Joint and Army LVC experiments as well as transition technologies and systems that show the most potential for enhancing the lethality and survivability capabilities of the warfighter. Further engineering, prototype and test-bed fabrication, integration, program management, systems engineering, and logistics support their mission to develop, field and maintain sensor systems for the Joint Services, US Army and other Department of Defense (DOD) customers and organizations. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE/PLACE OF PERFORMANCE/SECURITY The period of performance shall be twelve (12) months from date of award with one six (6) month option period. The work will be performed primarily at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and Contractor's facilities. Travel to other Contractor or Government facilities in the continental United States (CONUS) or outside the United States (OCONUS) may be required as part of the performance of an individual sub-element of the task order. Locations of OCONUS Travel may be Australia, Canada, Germany (requires Technical Expert Status Accreditation (TESA), Hawaii, Alaska, Italy, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Korea, United Kingdom, New Zealand and or locations deemed necessary to support additional Government missions. The Contractor will be required to have a TOP Secret facility clearance and Secret safeguarding requirements. Description of Effort: The anticipated type of effort is for Research and Development on a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) basis.
