Conference information overview: The immediate need of the Submarine Communications Support System (SCSS) Technical Direction Agent (TDA) is the development of budget estimates for the conversion of technical documentation to electronic media for the proposed Radio Room component upgrades included in all phases of the SCSS program. The SCSS Program modernizes the Exterior Communications Systems including antennas, for the Los Angeles, Ohio, and SEAWOLF Class radio rooms. The implementation of the SCSS Program is evolutionary. The transition from legacy stovepipe components to a system-focused infrastructure is difficult, at best, since the raw technical products are still expected to be provided with delivery of component program equipment (acquisition of technical data still reflects "stovepipe" products). A goal of the SCSS Program is to provide full electronic system-through-component module interactive products that satisfy the Fleet's request for integrated operations and maintenance technical support. The Fleet needs documentation that reflects system-level (link/circuit) views and provides end-to-end connectivity data. The near-term focus is on establishing a sponsored budget for conversion of all SCSS component training and technical data into interactive courseware and interactive electronic technical manuals. The scope of this effort ranges from a single component ICW/IETM package up to a complete package of ICW/IETM materials for all components included in the SCSS program. Conversion cost estimates are required in sufficient detail to support budget staffing. Our department no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form. Instead, they may be accessed at our web site http://www.npt.nuwc.navy.mil/contract/. We also provide electronic access in our Bid Room. Posted 07/14/99 (W-SN353863). (0195)
