This requires providing all management and labor necessary for software maintenance and enhancements for ASOC, an air defense command and control (C2) system. The term - ASOC is a US Government-assigned system name. ASOC system security classification is NATO Confidential. The ASOC is a Sun Solaris-based air defense command and control system capable of multi-radar tracking using up to 24 sensors. The typical ASOC has ten operator display workstations. Configurations vary in size from 6 to 12 workstations, with a maximum capacity of 24 workstations. The ASOC processes digitized radar data received from military and civil radars; track data received from the national civil air traffic control center, from selected in-country command centers, and from interfacing ASOCs and interfacing NATO Link-1-capable ground facilities; and flight plan information to provide an integrated air situation display. The system accepts primary and secondary radar data in EUROCONTROL ASTERIX plot data format, track data in NATO Link-1 and EUROCONTROL ASTERIX track data formats, and flight plan data in ICAO/OLDI formats. Using the ASOC system, military operators conduct surveillance of the airspace and exercise control over air weapons assets using ground controlled air-to-air intercept guidance capabilities and surface-to-air (SAM) missile control capabilities. and will be adequate as a means to refer to vendor-proposed offerings. The duration of this effort is expected to be for the Basic period from 01 JAN 03 through 31 DEC 03 plus 4 option years. Government's objective is to sustain and enhance an existing systemcapability. The Government is seeking responsible sources that can demonstrate the ability to sustain and enhance the existing capabilities systems provided by the ASOC system. The potential source shall furnish all management, labor, transportation, tools, equipment, configuration control, and documentation for software and hardware support for the existing systems as delivered by Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems (LMTS), Eagan MN.
