CONTRACT NO.N00178-04-D-4096DELIVERY ORDER NO.FD01AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION NO.24PAGE16 of 55FINALThe contractor shall provide trial design engineering and analysis services for special experimentalprograms, submarine signature trials, and standard Sonar Calibration (SOCAL) exercises whichinvolve both acoustic and non-acoustic measurements in support of the mission. In support ofspecial programs the contractor may be required to support TUBA trials including data reductionon AN/BQH-9(V) Signal Data Recording Set (SDRS), AN/BQH-11(V) Miniature ElementRecording System (MERS), or future TUBA or tactical collection systems using CombinedProcessing System (CPS), External Monitor and Playback (EMAP) system, CalibrationProcessor (CAL Processor), TUBA Portable Element Analysis System (T-PEAS) or futureTUBA Data Reduction Systems, and STAFAC and SEAFAC life cycle and R&D trials. Theengineering and analysis efforts shall include the evaluation of HGMS trial data to develop moreefficient ways of utilizing the full system capacity during reduced duration trials. Production ofdraft trials plans, incorporation of Fleet safety and NSWCCD operational guidelines, andaccepted statistical design techniques for at-sea scenarios and installation planning, will berequired. The contractor shall also be required to participate in at-sea experiments in the areas ofsignature collection, data reduction and data management, special trials engineering, ILS supportof trials equipment including recommendations for methods of equipment installation acceptableto Fleet Commanders, and providing pre-trial planning for STAFAC, SEAFAC and TargetStrength system trials to accomplish more efficient resource utilization. The contractor shallassist NSWCCD personnel in the design and execution of at-sea experiments for the purposes ofacoustic and non-acoustic data collection. The contractor shall assist in the planning of towtracks, submarine tracks, sensor design, manufacture and placement, projector levels and signaltype, and pre-assessments of acoustic, non-acoustic and environmental conditions expected toinfluence the system/test. The contractor shall also furnish personnel to participate in the datacollection experiments. These personnel shall provide at-sea data and model analysis support andperform general purpose functions such as the installation and removal of sea test hardware; theoperation of tape-recorders, sonobuoy receivers, filters, amplifiers, spectrum analyzers and othermonitoring and recording equipment; and also maintain data log sheets. To support this task area,the contractor shall be responsible for all necessary logistics, such as providing any necessaryspecial sensors and instrumentation, equipment and expendables/consumables, shipping and
