• Incremental delivery of assets to support platform interface development.

• Continued software development and incremental upgrades to SGS.

• Development of Tier 1 and Tier 2 model applications for baseline system and future growth.

• Procurement of long lead material for future system deliveries.

• Provision of post-delivery support for system integration, testing, operation, and maintenance.

• Development of user documentation, interface control documents, and firmware support manuals.

• Integration of an ARINC-818 video output protocol for synchronized video transfer.

• Requirements shall be traceable to the EOIRDI Performance Specifications Document and use case scenarios.

• System functionality will be verified through Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).

• Performance will be assessed against predefined EOIRDI SUT use case scenarios.

• Site integration for Block A will occur at NAS Patuxent River NAS and potentially Eglin or Edwards Air Force Base.

• Specific period of performance is not detailed in this excerpt, but implies ongoing development and delivery.

• Work involves handling of controlled unclassified information.

• Contractor shall provide program management, engineering, and design activities.

• Contractor shall provide integrated master schedule (IMS) and monthly status reports (MSR).

• Contractor shall support Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Requirements Traceability.
