The Statement of Work for this requirement follows: 1. TITLE -- Statement of Work to provide task order engineering and analysis support in extended air defense simulations and mission level modeling at Air Force Studies Analysis. 2. BACKGROUND -- The Air Force Studies and Analysis Agency (AFSAA) is the premier analytic organization in the Air Force. AFSAA supports senior leadership throughout the Air Force by providing them with appropriate analysis, insights, models and simulations to help create and maintain the appropriate force to execute this mission. To accomplish this mission, AFSAA uses several computer based modeling tools. The primary mission level model in this suite of tools is Extended Air Defense Simulation (EADSIM). Model manager for EADSIM is the Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) of management, documentation, software maintenance, and technical support on EADSIM. AFSAA requires local technical support, database management, software maintenance, and model integration support for EADSIM. 3. REQUIREMENTS -- Specifically, this support is to a Joint Service study team composed of military, civilian, and contractor personnel. This study team will investigate individual and combined weapon system effects used to support theater air and missile defense. Air Force specific contributions include mission and campaign level analysis of Air Force systems in this environment. Air Force only mission and campaign level analysis will also be performed as time permits and after termination of this current study effort. The contractor is required to have 1) Secret Security Clearance with the ability to obtain Special Access Program clearance 2) Engineering Degree in Electrical, Aerospace, or Computer Science 3)Analytic Experience: Five years experience modeling Air Force systems in the Extended Air Defense Simulation Model (EADSIM), current version 6.00. Must include Study Director Responsibilities 4)Operational Experience: Ten years operational experience in Air Force Fighter Weapon System, Single Seat Aircraft. Instructor Pilot experience preferred. Joint Service, Overseas, and Coalition experience preferred. Korean Defense experience preferred. 5)UNIX Experience: Five years experience in UNIX programming on SGI and SUN systems. Network Administration and System Administration experience required. 6)PC Experience: Five years experience using Microsoft Operating System, currently Windows 95 and Windows NT. Network Administration and System Administration experience required. 7) Software Programming Experience: Five years programming experience. Must include experience in developing analytical post processing tools in UNIX and for Microsoft Windows using C/C++. Fluent in ActiveX, Open GL, GL, and Motif programming. 4. PURPOSE -- This statement of work will provide AFSAA with MACH I technical support for EADSIM and EADSIM integration with other Agency models. The contractor shall provide appropriate personnel to support the following task areas: software development and maintenance, database development and administration, documentation, configuration management, hardware integration, and technical analysis.
