The DD254, Contract Security Classification Specification, will be included in the contract. The Statement of Work (SOW) is as follows: 1.0 SCOPE: Provide a comprehensive weaponeering environment which contains all applicable weaponeering related software tools, with common look and feel interfaces and inter-operable functionality. That is, create an object architecture that allows data and computational output exchange between software tools. 1.1 BACKGROUND: The warfighting sponsor of the Counterproliferation (CP) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD), USEUCOM, has identified a requirement to provide accurate methods of determining probabilities of damage and potential target generated collateral effects for various types of targets while using the fewest number of computer models which take advantage of shared data in order to limit user input requirements. Combat planners and aircrew require the ability to use all the JMEM and advanced weaponeering and collateral effects models in a user friendly environment to plan precision attacks against high valued fixed targets associated with WMD to minimize the release of hazardous materials and maximize damage. Current and projected software models provide the basic capabilities required to perform this mission however they are not, in general, able to communicate with each other to allow the warfighter the most effective use of his time. 1.2 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this effort is to develop a comprehensive weaponeering environment which contains all applicable weaponeering related software tools, with common look and feel interfaces and inter-operable functionality. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: N/A 3.0 REQUIREMENTS (TASKS) 3.1 TASK 1: The contractor shall perform a study that investigates the feasibility of creating an object oriented architecture (Comprehensive Weaponeering Environment) that allows data and computational output exchange between existing weaponeering, battle damage assessment, WMD collateral effects and Joint Munitions Effects Manual (JMEM) software. Software entities to be considered, but not limited to, are: Integrated Munitions Effects Assessment (IMEA), Windows/UNIX JMEM, JMEM Air-to-Surface Weaponeering System, JMEM Target Complex (TARCOM), Combat Weapons Delivery System (CWDS), JMEM Stickbomb, Hascal/Scipuff, Combat Capture System, Automated Target Folder (ATF), Electronic Target Folder and the Tactical Multi-Sensor Fusion (TMSF) Module. The contractor shall review existing and near term future UNIX based command and control software systems (i.e. Rapid Application of Air Power (RAAP), Air Force Mission Support Software (AFMSS), Portable Flight Planning System (PFPS), Navy Tactical Aircraft Mission Planning System (TAMPS), Global Command and Control System (GCCS)) for environments to implement the Comprehensive Weaponeering Environment. The study shall include development of an approach or approaches for implementing a Comprehensive Weaponeering Environment in both UNIX and PC Windows environment. 3.2 TASK 2: The contractor shall deliver a written report and present the results of Task 1. The report shall address, as a minimum, the following items: 3.2.1 Comparison and contrast of the computer tools listed above identifying interface potential. 3.2.2 Review of UNIX based command and control systems for applicability for implementation of a Comprehensive Weaponeering Environment. 3.2.3 Detailed recommendations for development of a Comprehensive Weaponeering Environment in both the UNIX and PC Windows environments. The recommended approach shall include specific taskings and milestones required to implement Options 1-3. 3.3 TASK 3 (Option 1): The contractor shall demonstrate a comprehensive weaponeering environment on a PC Windows platform for a minimum of three software programs referenced in Task 2 report. 3.3 TASK 4 (Option 2): The contractor shall demonstrate a comprehensive weaponeering environment on a UNIX platform for a minimum of three software programs referenced in Task 2 report. 3.3 TASK 5 (Option 3): Add three additional software programs to both the PC Windows and UNIX comprehensive weaponeering environments.
