C.1 baCkground The Rapid Response Project Office (RRPO) has a requirement to develop and support rapid reaction special mission projects related to irregular warfare for the Department of Defense (DoD), Non-DoD Federal Departments and Agencies, the Intelligence Community. The Irregular Warfare / Special Projects Director (IW / SPD) and the RRPO have oversight for these projects that require an extremely fast turn-around to meet mission schedules and objectives. These projects are designed to mitigate asymmetric threats in support of tactical elements deployed in various Areas of Responsibility. These projects support the development and integration of Information Technology (IT) mission systems used for information collection that detect, identify, assess, exploit or neutralize threats to the U.S. and its interests. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance are often referred to as the collective whole “ISR”, though the capabilities are distinct and each fulfills a different purpose. These distinct capabilities are defined below: a. Intelligence is the product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of available information concerning foreign countries or areas; it is the information and knowledge about a topic obtained through observation, investigation, and analysis. b. Surveillance is the systematic observation of aerospace, surface, or subsurface areas, places, persons, or things by visual, aural, electronic, photographic or other means. c. Reconnaissance is a mission undertaken to obtain, by visual observation or other detection methods, information about the activities and resources of an enemy or potential enemy, or to secure data of geographic characteristics for a particular area. C.1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this acquisition is to establish a sufficiently agile and responsive TO to efficiently support the critical mission needs of the RRPO. C.1.2 agency mission The mission of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations is to provide accurate, relevant, and timely information to operational and strategic decision makers. Decision superiority is the competitive advantage, enabled by an ongoing situational awareness, that allows commanders and their forces to make informed decisions and implement them as fast and effectively as the situation warrants. Decision superiority is about improving our ability to observe, orient, decide, and act faster and more effectively than the adversary based on the information that is provided through a sophisticated IT based system of systems. To achieve this goal through effective employment of ISR capabilities, it is imperative to capitalize on the interoperability existing among our current ISR systems. To be effective, ISR systems must be strategic, operational, tactical, and responsive to the commander’s or decision maker’s needs. Information technology products must enable strategic, operational, and tactical users to better understand the operational environment systematically, spatially, and temporally, allowing them to orient themselves to the current and predicted situations to enable a decisive decision. C.2 scope The scope of this acquisition is to provide planning, research, analysis, materiel, prototyping, proof of concept demonstrations, system and software engineering and integration, system testing and evaluation, system deployment, system security, and system training support to the RRPO. Contractor support shall include design and development of prototypes; development of processes and procedures; design of current and future ISR system capabilities and technologies; advanced concept design; system integration design; and advanced concepts technologies design. The support described above shall be provided through a rapid response methodology (2-24 months) consisting of rapid prototyping, rapid integration, rapid installation, and rapid acquisition of mission systems, subsystems, technical support, and spares. Technical support shall also include, but not be limited to, systems configurations, flight clearances, operational validations, trade studies, mockup assessments, advisory panels and working groups, laboratory support, and field test support. The support described above will include efficient laboratory and field facility test procedures and subsequent sustainment operations, including performance of the systems analysis, functional allocations, synthesis, and evaluation efforts necessary to transform an operational need into an effective, affordable and operable system.
