Technical and
Engineering Acquisition Support (TEAS) Contract
Under
the Technical and Engineering Acquisition Support (TEAS) contract, we
have provided a full range of acquisition engineering and life cycle
management support to the Advanced Medium Range Air-Air Missile (AMRAAM)
program. This support has been provided continuously since 1987. Early
in the program, we supported the design and development effort to include
the critical Demonstration and Validation (Dem/Val) program. This Dem/Val
program included the first flight test of multiple missiles against
multiple targets. This was an extremely complex test involving multiple
support aircraft and range resources. After this successful demonstration,
we supported the resolution of a number of design and development problems
associated with the missile, the missile launcher, and their integration
on F-15 and F-16. For example, the original missile and launcher design
and mass properties presented potential flutter and structural dynamic
risks when integrated on the F-16 and at certain Mach number-altitude
combinations. We provided analysis and test support to assist in the
resolution of these issues. We later performed as members of Integrated
Product Teams (IPTs) to support the evaluation, development, and application
of cost-effective manufacturing processes. Our engineers supported the
AMRAAM Program Office in the preparation and review of the necessary
acquisition documents, including RFPs, SOWs, acquisition plans, Test
and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP), Integrated Logistics Support Plans,
ILSPs, manufacturing plans, and other supporting acquisition material.
We supported the development of two sources for the production of AMRAAM
and provided advisors to several source selections. We also supported
the development and application of very comprehensive AMRAAM simulations.
These include both analytical and hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
We have also supported the transition of AMRAMM to operational status
and the development of sustainment and supportability approaches for
the system after operational deployment. These include such strategies
as a total end-to-end warranty. In summary, we have supported the AMRAAM
through every phase of its life cycle from concept development through
operational deployment and sustainment in its operational environment.
