The government intends to procure on a sole source basis with Antcon Corp software services to update the JFLEX Prototype in support of NRaD Research into plan representation, plan execution monitoring and localized plan repair techniques in accordance with attached detailed statement of work. The DD254 PO- security clearance and CDRL 1423 are available upon request. 1.0 Introduction: The Naval Command Control and Ocean Surveillance Center (NCCOSC), Research Development, Test and Evaluation Division (NRaD) is conducting research in Plan Execution Monitoring and localized Plan Repair. It has been observed there is a need to provide force levelexecution monitoring capability to disbursed commands to improve response to plan problems as they develop and to facilitate localized repair. As part of the tasking, NRaD has developed a prototype, Joint Force Level Execution Aid (JFLEX), that implements the exploratory research coming out of this ONR task. The prototype provides a distributed architecture over a TCP/IP network connection. This tool has broad application across mission areas such as electronic battlespace management. Currently the system allows for plan monitoring which indicates when a problem is occurring but does not easily allow the plan to be repaired. Continued research is being conducted to address this shortcoming. 2.0 Scope: This purchase order addresses the system and software engineerng efforts required to update the JFLEX prototype in support of NRaD research into plan representation, plan execution monitoring, and localized plan repair techniques. 3.0: Technical Requirements: The contractor shall perform the following subtasks: 3.1: The contractor shall update all JFLEX user interfaces to interact with the Execution Server and the Appraisal Server in support of the new modular server architecture currently being developed. 3.2 The contractor shall enhance the Plan Monitor module to facilitate audit trail browsing. 4.0 Government Furnished Property: Access to NraD Sunrise Laboratory, Bldg.600, Room 442 which includes SPARCStation 20 and TAC-3 workstations. NRaD will provide access to required existing and developmental documentation relating to the developing JFLEX prototype. 5.0 Travel: One trip to the Washington, D.C. area is authorized in order to support sponsor reviews and to coordinate this effort with other participating contractors. 6.0 Other: 6.1 Security Clearance: Secret clearance is required for assigned personnel. 6.2 Place of Performance: NRaD, Bldg. 600, Room 442 and the contractor's facilities. 6.3 Inspection and Acceptance: Technical review, inspection and acceptance of contractor services are provided by Jeff Herman, NRaD Code 44207, Bldg 600, Room 422A, extension 33802. 6.4 Period of performance: Period of performance ends 30 May 1997.
