• Period: One (1) base year and one (1) option year.

• Place: OCONUS base camp locations and designated Areas of Responsibility (AORs), as well as CONUS locations. Specific locations are detailed in the PWS.

• Security: Top Secret (TS) Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) security clearances for key personnel; Top Secret for Chief Mechanic and non-key personnel; Secret for deployed personnel. Facility Clearance (FCL) required.

• Quality Control: Implementation of Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) procedures.

• Personnel: Key personnel include Program Manager, Chief Engineer, Chief Pilot, Chief Mechanic, and Chief Operations Officer.

• Government Furnished Property (GFP): Includes CAC cards, Synchronized Pre-deployment Operational Tracker (SPOT) coordination, flight information publications, LOAs, installation/facility access, AT/OPSEC training, country/theater clearance information, CCMD documentation, sensors, cameras, and software.

• Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE): Includes FAA-certified aircraft (turboprop and jet), support equipment, and maintenance.

• Reporting: Monthly status reports, weekly status reports, daily maintenance reports, accident/serious incident reports, final reports, and property control plans are required.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for the US Army Geospatial Center's (AGC) Three-Dimensional High Speed-High Altitude Mapping Operations & Technology Integration (3DH2-M O&TI) program. The primary objective is to provide timely, accurate, and relevant High Resolution Three-Dimensional (HR3D) data to support the Army Geospatial Enterprise and the Geospatial Data Fabric, enabling Warfighters across all domains and Combatant Commands (CCMDs).

• Data Collection: Conduct wide area high altitude flight operations using manned fixed-wing platforms (turboprop and jet) to collect various geospatial data, including but not limited to:

  • Electro Optical (EO) imagery (5-50 cm spatial resolution)
  • LiDAR (terrestrial and bathymetric, including Foliage Penetration - FOPEN)
  • Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
  • Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)
  • Full Motion Video (FMV)
  • Special Intelligence (SI) and multi-Intelligence (INT)

• Data Processing: Process, exploit, analyze, and mesh collected data to create 2D, 2.5D, and 3D geospatial content. This includes large-scale, worldwide, advanced cloud-based processing and rapid dissemination (24-48 hours).

• Technology Integration: Integrate emerging technologies for sensors and data processing, including AI/ML capabilities.

• Program Management: Provide comprehensive program management, including scheduling, configuration management, risk management, quality control, and overall program compliance.

• Operational Readiness: Maintain a 90% Operational Readiness rate for collection missions.

• Data Processing Timeliness: Process LiDAR data in less than 24 hours on average and EO data in less than 72 hours on average.

• Data Quality: Ensure data meets specified resolution, accuracy, and format requirements (e.g., LAS 1.2 for LiDAR, GeoTIFF for DEMs).

• Reporting: Provide regular status reports, including monthly and weekly updates, and detailed incident reports.

• Period of Performance: Five (5) year ordering period.

• Place of Performance: Primarily Outside the Continental U.S. (OCONUS) at designated base camp locations within specified Areas of Responsibility (AORs), with some operations within the Continental U.S. (CONUS).

• Security: Strict adherence to security requirements, including Top Secret (TS) and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearances for key personnel, and compliance with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures.

• Personnel: Provide qualified personnel with expertise in wide area high altitude collections and data processing.

• Aircraft: Provide and maintain FAA-certified aircraft, modified to integrate specified sensors.

• Government Furnished Property (GFP): Utilize government-provided sensors, cameras, software, and other equipment as specified.

• Quality Control/Assurance: Implement robust Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) procedures.

• Mobilization/Remobilization: Manage the complex process of deploying and redeploying personnel, aircraft, and equipment to various global locations.
