Background

The NAWCAD Battlespace Simulation Division has been tasked by PMA-298 to develop a model of a new electronic warfare pod and integrate this model into existing simulation environments across multiple aircraft platforms. Existing simulation environments include both Government and Industry developed simulation environments for platform and system level RDT&E and Operational Training. The pod is intended to be carried by the F/A-18E/F, EA-18G, P-8, and MQ-4 platforms. The pod will provide both passive sensor receive modes, and active jamming across the Ku and Ka signal bands. The initial pod model development is to occur at the Contractor facility with data at SECRET classification level. The pod model integration activities will occur at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River Battlespace Simulation Division facilities. The model will be utilized as a selectable store on each aircraft in the Navy Modeling & Simulation (M&S) portfolio for Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) activities of aircrafts, and should be capable of standalone and distributed operations at NAS Patuxent River and future integration into Fleet training devices. Additionally, there is a planned exportable version of the pod that will require comparable modeling and be cleared to deliver to foreign nation militaries.

Requirements

The Contractor shall provide:

  • Research, design, development, and associated engineering in support of Battlespace simulation and distributed simulation requirements. Support to be provided includes the research, development, and maintenance of Battlespace simulation tools, application of battlespace simulation tools to specific customer requirements, research and development of warfare scenarios, development and integration of Battlespace entity models and behaviors, and support for delivered Battlespace products. In each of the above task areas, there shall be Special Compartmentalized Information (SCI) requirements, but none of the deliverables shall contain SCI. The contractor will require Special Access Programs (SAP) access in support of the F-35 Joint Program Office and other U.S. Air Force associated programs supported by NAWCAD.
