Table 1

Under contract A, Table 1, BAI performs a wide range of systems engineering activities in support of Naval Mission Planning Systems (NavMPS) to include requirements collection, requirements management, requirements stability analysis, design review, developer oversight and management, and earned value analysis. These systems include Personal Flight Planning System - Navy (PFPS-N), NAVSTAR, Common Mission Data Loader (CMDL), and Tactical Automated Mission Planning System (TAMPS). These activities cover the entire mission planning system life cycle, from concept development through product fielding and Sustainment. Over the past three years, BAI has worked closely with fleet warfighters to capture requirements for inclusion into the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) baseline. They have engineered JMPS Unique Planning Components (UPCs) to provide full functionality to the system, and established and verified specifications for the Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware. These efforts have assisted the government to baseline Naval Aviation Planning Systems with common components while managing legacy systems such as TAMPS through sustainment.

Under contract B, Table 1, the BAI Mission Planning Systems Engineers evaluate new software, hardware, and process technologies for integration into the Special Operations Mission Planning Environment – Maritime (SOMPE-M) suite (hardware/software) in support of mission planning and execution. These suites are ruggedized and transportable. Their trainer is currently supporting the Mission Planning Systems Engineer for SOMPE Program supporting 1st Special Forces Group at FT.

Table 2

Under Contract A, Table 2, ATC developed, revised and provided internal configuration control of UAV system operations and maintenance technical manuals. We worked with the system developers to ensure accuracy of the technical documentation. With the technical documentation under control, we are able to develop appropriate training materials. The training materials included Requirements Analysis, Individual Training Standards (ITS), Training Curricula, Trainee Guide and Measurements of Student Achievement (Tests).

Under Contracts B and C, Table 2, ATC provided the design and development of Dragon Eye (DE) Technical documentation and training materials including requirements analysis, Individual Training Standards (ITS), training curricula and trainee guide, measurements of student achievement (Tests), and a comprehensive detailed evaluation of the approved process. The training material was based on the technical documentation. We provided the points of instruction (POI) data in MCAIMS format and delivered the completed database and curriculum package in MS Word format. We also developed a comprehensive training plan describing the DE Training Program from initiation through life-cycle maintenance. The plan describes, in detail, the development and acquisition of the training materials, MEF support, and the conduct of initial and follow-on training. We also provided qualified instructors for DE test and fielding and populated a personnel-tracking system. Data include the trainees’ scores on both the written and practical exams administered during conduct of training. The database contains the POC, or Training Officer for each unit trained, so that significant changes to the program can be forwarded to previously trained individuals. Our personnel were the first individuals to be certified as DE Instructors. They are key players on the training team for this effort. They review, edit, and ensure the DE UAV training programs is in compliance with the SOW, CDRL's, applicable instructions and directives using ISD methodology.
