E-MAIL: Stacy Hughes, hughess@msex1.eglin.af.mil. Initiative: The Precision Strike System Program Office, Air Armament Center (AAC), Eglin AFB, Florida, plans to contract for the development of a common Precision Guided Munition Planning Software (PGMPS). Objective: PGMPS will be a Unique Planning Component (UPC) of the USAF Joint Mission Planning Segment (JMPS). The overall program objective is to provide a single PGM mission planning application integrated with JMPS. PGMPS will provide a common user interface for all PGM mission planning and a single interface control document (ICD) to define the integration with carrier aircraft UPCs. PGMPS must be compliant with the Defense Information Infrastructure-Common Operating Environment (DII-COE). Contract Scope and Award: The basic contract will deliver mission planning software for the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW), and the Wind Corrected Munition Dispenser (WCMD) in the initial release (version 1.0) followed by another release (version 2.0, one year later) that adds the AGM-130, GBU-15, and AGM-142. Version 1.0 includes a common PGMPS UPC-to-Aircraft UPC ICD that governs the integration of PGMPS with all applicable aircraft mission-planning applications. It is anticipated the contract will include five one-year options for software upgrades to accommodate changes driven by the JMPS framework, integration of additional aircraft with the existing PGMPS, and the probability of adding additional weapons. Version 1.0 must be fielded in operational units not later than 1 July 2002 (assuming the JMPS schedule does not significantly slip). Version 2.0 must be fielded by 1 July 2003, and follow-on releases will occur annually on 1 July each year. RFP release is planned for 15 May 2000, and contract award is planned for 1 November 2000. A cost-type contract is contemplated.
