Description: DRAFT STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) For JOINT IED DEFEAT ORGANIZATION (JIEDDO) COUNTER-IED OPERATIONS INTEGRATION CENTER (COIC) Irregular Warfare Analysis (IWA) 1.0 SCOPE. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the scope of irregular warfare analysis (IWA) activities needed to support Operational level military operations, intelligence and operations research systems analysis for deployed U.S. and coalition forces in Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) operations both in support of all U.S. Combatant Command Areas of Responsibility and other locations in the United States. IWA support is required for 42 specific positions, including 12 forward positions, as distributed in paragraph 4.0 below. The required level of effort may be expanded up to a total of 75 positions per year. The contractor is responsible for overall management of the contract, including all options exercised, and insuring that the technical solutions and schedules are implemented in a timely manner. The contractor will review task performance and work products for correctness as well as adherence to design concepts and user requirements, and for progress in accordance with schedules. The contractor will ensure that evolving requirements of the client are met, including long range planning, technology insertion, personnel management, training, and product development. 2.0BACKGROUND. 2.1 Mission. The Joint Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) is a Deputy Secretary of Defense directed initiative with the mission to rapidly provide solutions to defeat the Enemys IED Campaign and save service members lives deployed fighting the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The JIEDDO Counter-IED Operations Integration Centers (COIC) uses IWA to support Attack-the-Network counter IED analysis. The COIC mission includes employment of advanced analysis of tactics, techniques, and procedures, along with an expert understanding of insurgent unconventional warfare, to conduct event-based associative analysis of individuals, cells, network command and control, and logistics. Essentially, this adds an understanding of how and when events occur to the traditional intelligence disciplines (HUMINT, SIGINT, MASINT, IMINT) as described in Appendix A. This provides for a unique, mature, tailored level of analysis of insurgent IED operational networks and operating patterns, events, and activities that complements layers produced by COIC Comprehensive Look and Discovery Teams, or responds directly to gaps identified by warfighting units. 2.2 Current Methodology. Current IWA support to the COIC has been provided by the CALEB Analysis Methodology, an analytical process developed and fielded by a JIEDDO funded Proof of Concept that was integrated by the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) a program office under the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD) for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict and Interdependent Capabilities (SO/LIC & IC). This specific type of analysis has provided intelligence fusion and a common operating/intelligence picture for critical, relevant, and effectual pattern analysis on insurgent-based operations in mapping out cells and networks to fight the GWOT. This methodology is a select application of collective analysis techniques and methodologies supported by U.S. Army Special Forces centric in-depth understanding of insurgent-based irregular warfare. It applies core competencies of irregular warfare to event-based information by advanced data mining, data fusion, predictive pattern analysis, geo-profiling and temporal analysis. The resulting customized process, provided a system-based analysis of insurgent networks that defines the threat environment and provides battlespace awareness at the tactical level (key nodes, functional mechanisms, direction, flow, and operational patterns.) This proved to be of critical, effectual and relevant value to enabling the JIEDDO and COIC missions. 3.0 SERVICES REQUIRED. 3.1 Reach Back Analytical Support. The contractor shall provide reach back analysis support through Irregular Warfare (IW) analysts operating at designated support locations. The IW analysts shall service the JIEDDO COIC and unit requests for support (RFSs) by conducting operational analysis on insurgent organizations. The IW analysts shall employ the Irregular Warfare Analysis (IWA) methodology and proven software tools to accomplish data mining, data fusion, predictive pattern analysis, geo-profiling techniques, and temporal analysis techniques. The collective analysis techniques and methodologies coupled with the irregular warfare analysis and COIC toolsets are to be applied with an expert understanding of insurgent-based unconventional warfare. Specific resources the contractor shall exploit will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, open source and classified data bases, reports, and message traffic searches as required. Specifically: "Each analyst shall be trained to provide IW analytical support IAW the approved IWA Methodology. "All analysts must have a clearance of TS/SCI as a condition of employment.
