Ground Segment Plus (GSEG+)

GSEG+ software is a highly specialized component of the government that integrates the sensor's C2 and H&S, and Image Processing software capabilities into the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS). Integration includes the testing and fielding support that follows the base period development. The sensor capability includes Multi-Spectral Imagery (MSI), and Search and Watch collection modes. This effort will include, as required by the Government, Flight Tests (FT), Development Test (DT), and Operational Test (OT) for SYERS and the MS-177 ground components and supporting the Global Hawk sensor platform integration into AF DCGS - updates made to support the Initial Operating Capabilities (IOC) for the GSEG+ supported sensors. The incumbent sole source contractor, provides the appropriate subcontract to the associate/subcontractors to ensure the contract deliverables are met, if necessary. Major tasks include: program management, software development, software modification, integration, testing, supporting Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 503 security controls, training, installation, documentation, flight test support, and travel. The products developed in the prior development base contract will be integrated, tested, and fielded during the FT option period. The products include: Geospatial Mission Manager (GMM) Command, Control and Communications (C3) Application Image Processing Services (IPS) Virtual Imaging Processing Capability (VIPC) IPS Plug-In The contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, facilities, and material to successfully I&T baseline modifications and support initial Open Architecture (OA) fielding of GSEG+. To include Engineering Test flights testing events in support of the Government Sensors on OA. Work will comprise efforts from several engineering disciplines including, but not limited to, software engineering, systems engineering, testing, documentation, quality assurance, program and engineering management, and program control functions. The contractor shall be participating as part of a Government-run team using Agile principles including iterative processes. Requirements for software products will be developed through the use of program epics and features approved by the Government during the Program Increment (PI) cycles will consist of the following: Support the program increments necessary towards the modification to GSEG+ software applications in support of Full Operational Capability (FOC) requirements.
