A -- TECHNICAL ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION BASED WARFARE ANALYSIS SOL N00039-96-R-0101(Q) POC Scott Morrow, 02-11D, 703-602-0682. Synopsis No. 65. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) intends to solicit for award a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Level-of-Effort contract to provide for technical and engineering services for modeling and simulation-based warfare analysis that provide the basis for decision making with respect to alternative weapon systems, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, warfare systems architectures, and force structure options. The planned contract shall support the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) assessment process, including the Joint Mission Area/Support Area (JMA/SA) assessment and the Investment Balance Review (IBR). It shall provide analytical, engineering, management, and documentation support to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Warfare Analysis, Modeling and Simulation Program Office (PMW 131) of the Advanced Technology and Prototype Systems Program Directorate (PD-13), which provides direct support to OPNAV in executing its assessment and modeling and simulation duties. Proposed efforts include: 1) Developing and maintaining a standard set of models for use in JMA/SA analyses and analyses performed to support IBR development. 2) Developing and maintaining data bases for use in JMA/SA and other analyses. 3) Developing scenarios for effectiveness analyses in particular JMA/SAs. 4) Performing effectiveness analyses to determine capabilities and cost effectiveness of systems and architectures, determining shortfalls and redundancies in existing or planned operational or support capabilities, and formulating investment strategies. 5) Providing support in preparing for, conducting, and summarizing results from JMA/SA, IBR, and SECNAV war games/seminars, joint-theater level campaign analysis, and integrating results to develop analytical inputs for use in the IBR. 6) Providing engineering and analytical support for the assessment and transition of advanced technology for use in the investment strategy, including defining and documenting methods for transition of technology options into future architectures for Naval, Joint and Allied forces. The total effort required is expected to be 285,000 staff hours of effort for each of five years (one base, four option) beginning in January of 1997. See Numbered Note(s): 1. (0239)
