The effort is projected to be an engineering services contract providing support for the Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) AGM-86B Weapon System. Provide services to establish and sustain effective and efficiently managed life cycle support of Cruise Missile Nuclear Weapon Sub-Systems (NWSS), Non-Nuclear Weapon Sub-Systems (NWSS) and their associated laboratory test programs, which are necessary for long-term support of c omponents crucial to sustainment of the ALCM weapon system. The A&S program assessments are based on parametric analysis of the test data gathered rather than simple go/no-go functional tests. The results will be an extension of the service life of the nuclear certified hardware beyond the design goal of the orderly retrofit of the fleet if an age-out condition is detected. Tasks include providing engineering support to resolve anomalies that occur during the Service STAR test cycle. These anomalies could range from missile hardware failure to test station malfunctions. Resolutions could require assistance in determining disposition of failed hardware, test station repair and/or software upgrades. Comply with cyber and system security rollout and procedures.
