Thud Factor for August 25, 2008 covering contracts announced August 13-25
Department of Defense released an interesting array of Unmanned Aerial Systems
(UAS), Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of aircraft, aircraft structural
parts and modifications as well as a big-ticket electrical services contract.
The
Army announced three contracts to San Diego, CA-based General Atomics with a
total maximum value of $29.7 million.
The contracts cover time and materials support services, three
extended-range multi-purpose Block 0 Block 0 Unmanned Aircraft and support for
the IGNAT/Sky Warrior Alpha UAS.
Simi Valley, CA-based AeroVironment Incorporated won a $17.7 million contract
for Raven systems and spares. Even
when placing the cyclicality of contract announcements aside there is a clear
trend toward service-specific ownership and perhaps even control of in-theater
UAS. It will be interesting to see
just how these programs will result in DoD UAS “jointness.”
MRO
and announcements specific to service life extension for P-3 dropped during this
timeframe as well. L-3 Waco, Texas
collected a $60 million contract for four P-3 Outer Wing Assembly kits in
support of the P-3 recovery plan.
The P-3 fleet anxiously awaits Initial Operating Capability (IOC) for the Boeing
P-8 Poseidon, but this is but one in a number of service life extensions and
recapitalization efforts DoD wide.

structural components please click

and

Also of interest in regard to aircraft maintenance is a $40 million Air Force
IDIQ contract to CPI Aerostructures, GSE Dynamics and Top Flight Aerostructures.
The contract will cover 108 structural aircraft parts for the following
platforms: C-5, A-10, H-53, B-52, B-1, A-10 and T-38.
Engineered Fabrics won a $41 million contract for extended range fuel cells.
Equipment such as this has been invaluable in extending range for U.S.
rotary wing assets in the high-hot and remote conditions faced in Afghanistan
and Iraq.
SAIC of Fairfield, New Jersey won a $250 million Defense Logistics Agency
contract for MRO with a planned completion in August of 2009.
Suez Energy Resources announced a whale of a DLA electrical services contract
totaling $646 million.
Infrastructure is expensive.

Thud Factor for August 12, 2008 covering contracts
announced August 1-12
Boeing Launch Services (El Segundo, CA) bagged the largest announcement from
Aug. 1-12 with a $1.6 billion contract for Delta IV and associated space asset
engineering, integration and infrastructure.
The Thud waits for a similar contract to go to Lockheed to support its
Atlas V EELV and associated space assets.
IED
jam and defeat saw three separate contracts over the nine business days covered
in this edition of the Thud Factor.
Lockheed Martin picked up a contract for $38.1 million, TT Corporation another
support services contract for $39.6 million and EDO Corporation out of Thousand
Oaks, CA won a $187.3 million contract for 2,873 remote control improvised
explosive device electronic warfare systems.
All three contracts are expected to complete before 2010; may these
systems be quick to field and extremely effective.
The
Navy continued in its commitment to the F-18 family, which has been a common
Thud Factor theme over the past year.
One does wonder if the F-18 family will become more than a gap-filler for
Navy variants of F-35. McDonnell
Douglas was awarded a $659.2 million contract for 16 F-18s in two variants,
while Northrop Grumman Bethpage, New York won a $48.8 million contract for
software services applicable to both the EA-6B and EA-18G.
General Dynamics Land Systems was awarded a $766 million for: “the development
and manufacture of System Development and Demonstration two (SDD-2)
Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) prototypes.”
Here is some additional text from a GDLS EFV brochure:
“General Dynamics has achieved a true break through in combat vehicle design by
providing high water speed, outstanding cross country mobility, fire power and
protection in an amphibious vehicle. The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV)
possesses the ability to launch forces from 20-25 nautical miles out to sea and
transport them to shore at speeds in excess of 20 knots (three times the current
platform’s speed). EFV provides the elements of flexibility and tactical
surprise critical
to
establish battlefield dominance. Its inherent land mobility will generate
uninterrupted
momentum to attack the enemy’s critical vulnerabilities.”

Thud Factor for July 31, 2008 covering contracts announced July 3-31
C4ISR was a strong, high-dollar value thread through DoD contract announcements
this month. Also of note were
numerous construction and MRO contracts, some of which are listed below here.
An interesting, and encouraging takeaway from these contracts is an
emphasis on connectivity through secure communications, a common operational
picture (COP), JTIDS and innovative surveillance and reconnaissance ideas via
tethered aerostats and a consistent number of construction contracts to Northrop
Grumman’s Global Hawk program.
Boeing is working on an interesting premise, one that would use the Iridium
satellite constellation as essentially another set of spaceborne platforms for
the existing NAVSTAR GPS constellation.
In theory this could lead to greater satellite “availability”.
It will be interesting to see if, and how this premise is validated.

The
Thud makes an attempt to catch up this week, and aside from some lucrative
maintenance, repair and recapitalization of air and ground assets a common theme
this May is UAV and associated sensor contracts.
Through four separate contracts in this timeframe, UAVs, aerostats and
their capabilities are being brought to bear in:
ITT
(Communications and Countermeasures as well as AES) won a pair of contracts for
productized technologies to be used in the detection and defeat of Improvised
Explosive Devices. May they be both
effective and brought to bear as soon as possible.
It
was also a good month for Booz Allen Hamilton.
The company secured six USAF contracts with a total value of $95.3
million. The contracts and their
associated task orders will assist the Air Force in the broad categories of
information superiority, information assurance (ATC and cybercrime) and an

Comments: The text and capabilities
quoted here from an Oshkosh Defense brochure are impressive for a vehicle of
this size and weight:
“The U.S. Marine Corps Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) is a
revolution in off- road mobility. This truck redefines performance possibilities
for all military vehicles well into the future. With the Oshkosh TAK- 4™
Independent Suspension System, the MTVR achieves levels of performance never
before realized in a tactical wheeled vehicle, enabling the MTVR to traverse
terrain previously regarded as impassible by military trucks. The addition of an
all aluminum cab and a strict anti-corrosion program during production enables
the MTVR to continue to perform long after other current tactical vehicles have
been sent to the salvage yard.
The
MTVR reflects the same high-quality proven standards of reliability found in
other Oshkosh products used throughout the world. With a Marine Corps
requirement of 70% off - road and 30% on-road, the MTVR exceeds these standards
by more than three fold. The MTVR will operate in climatic extremes from -50°F
to 125° F while carrying a 7.1 ton payload cross-country or up to 15 tons on
primary or secondary roads. It is capable of traversing a 60% gradient and a 30%
side slope with its maximum cross-country load, fording five feet of water,
traveling at 65 mph on paved surfaces, and has an on-road cruising range of 300
miles.
The
pace of modern battle is accelerating rapidly, but a fighting force can move
only as fast as its supplies and equipment. The MTVR will allow the fighting
force to move whenever and wherever the battle dictates.”

considerations for any aircraft and the V-22 is no exception.
With the Osprey expected to gain weight with the addition of defensive
armament engine performance will be of even greater importance.

Thud Factor for April 22, 2008 covering contracts
announced April 11-22
The biggest contracts over this time period went for missile
defense ($400 million to Raytheon) and a fresh batch of 4,526 Humvees from AM
General ($650 million). Iraq and
Afghanistan have placed the Humvee squarely in a battlespace not all variants
were initially designed for.
Subsequent up-armoring has placed a great strain on these vehicles, as has
battle damage. The U.S. Army will
continue to adapt to the realities on the ground in continuing to fight the
Iraqi and Afghan versions of the 3-Block War, but the strain on personnel and
materiel is undeniable.
Raytheon’s contract is
for the design, development and activation of a European mid-course radar, with
the current and most likely host being the Czech Republic.
At present it also appears that Poland is the frontrunner for any kind of
interceptor field. Both of these systems, and their placement, are intended to
thwart an Iranian ballistic missile threat.

Comments: It
will be interesting to see how the engine situation on the V-22 fleets play out.
Recent reports of power degradation on deployed Ospreys are an ominous
note, but one must expect continuing developmental issues when looking at such a
weapons system. In truth, the V-22
does not figure to get any lighter, especially with efforts in the works to
install a belly-mounted gun. In sum, the V-22’s engines will only face
increasing demands.

Thud
Factor for March 25, 2008 covering contracts announced March 14-24
The biggest news this week was the March 14 announcement of
three separate Mine Resistant Armor Protected (MRAP) contracts totaling more
than $1.125 billion. When realized
the contracts should provide 2,214 MRAPs in various configurations. The remarkable thing about these contracts is that all are
expected to be completed by November of 2008, which should be welcome news to
U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There were complaints concerning the speed of DoD’s reaction
to a pervasive Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threat.
These included criticizing the pace of Humvee and other tactical vehicle
up-armoring when doing so changed nearly every facet of vehicle performance.
Unconfirmed reports circulated indicating that up-armored Humvees were
chewing through tires in just hundreds of miles; this is but one issue among
many.
The time between the up-armoring of countless tactical
vehicles and fielding of an essentially new class of MRAP vehicles is impressive
when compared to a traditional – sometimes decade-long – DoD procurement cycle.
There may be some room for criticism, but these contracts show a DoD and
industrial base ability to adapt and hopefully perform.
These contracts also lend credence to the conclusion that
U.S. presence in Iraq and Afghanistan might be measured in years, and perhaps a
decade or more to come.

Comments: DoD still lives under a 50/50 aggregate rule when
it comes to organic versus outsourced maintenance.
Prior to Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom there were voices
advocating a greater role for outsourced maintenance, citing an inadequate

Long-term maintenance impacts from OEF and OIF, as well as an aging USAF
fleet will have an undetermined maintenance impact well into the next decade.

Comments: The

In theory the F-35 family is intended to replace the F-16, A-10, AV-8B

call this blind ambition, and DoD should expect continuing teething issues
resulting from a dizzying array of F-35 aircraft type performance requirements.

Comments: With anticipated delays and possible reductions in

Comments:
Interesting award in light of repeated mentions in the press pertaining to novel
methods of armoring vehicles.
Apparently the trend is to have a number of “hard points” on the vehicle where
successive generations of armor types can be mounted.
Ideally this will allow for technology/hardware refreshment without
making obsolete a complete vehicle class.
There may be tradeoffs in terms of weight, performance and center of
gravity issues but in principal the idea of armor sets has merit.

2007, and six bids were received. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,
Arlington, Va., is the contracting activity HR0011-08-C-0030.
Comments: These
two contracts are part of an interesting program, one with the intent of
disaggregating satellite constellations by introducing what is in effect a
flexible networked series of satellites weighing less than 300kg.
“System F6 - Future Fast, Flexible,
Fractionated, Free-Flying Spacecraft united by Information eXchange – will
demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of a satellite architecture in which
traditional "monolithic" spacecraft are replaced by clusters of
wirelessly-interconnected spacecraft modules.”
As of late 2007, the plan was to launch the first set of
satellites no more than four years after project award.
In light of emerging worldwide antisatellite capabilities a flexible
network of communications/remote sensing/positioning satellites is a somewhat
logical response. Not only would
such a constellation allow for “graceful degradation” if nodes were disabled,
but the cluster operations aspect could act as a real force multiplier for
missions ranging from image analysis to positioning and communications. In a
perfect world such a concept could also enable a certain degree of system
component flexibility. In theory
sensors, communications and other satellite subsystems would be physically
separated, but linked wirelessly.
In effect such architecture could facilitate module upgrades to sensors,
communications or processors.
“The F6 program fits into a larger concept that is known as
operationally responsive space. One of the U.S. Strategic Command program’s
goals is to create satellites that can be built and launched within days or
weeks, rather than months or years. The loss of key spacecraft due to attack,
space weather or malfunction, makes the U.S. military vulnerable. Critics have
called its dependence on space-based assets its Achilles heel,” (National
Defense Magazine).

Army
Oshkosh Truck Corp.
Oshkosh, Wis., was awarded on Feb. 19, 2008, a $48,906,410
firm-fixed-price award ceiling price modification for family of heavy Tactical
Vehicle systems. Work will be performed in Oshkosh, Wis., and is expected to be
completed by Dec. 31, 2008. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the
current fiscal year. One bid was solicited on Oct. 23, 2006, and one bid was
received. The Tank Automotive and Armaments Command, Warren, Mich., is the
contracting activity W56HZV-07-C-0248.
Comments:
On Feb. 14, 2008 Oshkosh Truck delivered its 20,000th Heavy
Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck to the U.S. Army Tank Automotive and Armaments
Command (TACOM). DoD began its
recapitalization and replacement of heavy, medium and light tactical vehicles in
the 1990’s and this process looks to continue with protracted operations in
support of Afghanistan and Iraqi deployments.
Look for a growing number of up-armored medium and heavy tactical
vehicles to roll off the assembly lines, replacing the ad-hoc retrofitting and
rushed deliveries the past three years have brought.
Companies such as Oskosh Truck, Stewart & Stevenson (Armor Holdings),
General Dynamics Land Systems, AM General and others will likely continue
development of in-house armoring capabilities or acquisition of companies in
furtherance of this goal.

various Marine Corp bases worldwide. The Marine Air Ground Task Force Training
Command (MAGTFTC) staff and personnel will use the TVCS for Real-Time
Visualization (RTV) and Situational Awareness (SA) while Marine Units are
conducting Military Operation in TVCS to conduct After Action Reviews (AAR) of
the just completed training exercise. The contractor will perform system design,
development, integration, installation, logistics, engineering, and training of
the TVCS. Work will be performed at government sites worldwide, and the work is
expected to be completed Feb. 2011. Contract funds will not expire at the end of
the current fiscal year. This effort was competitively procured as a full and
open competition procurement, with one offer to the solicitation received. The
Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Va., is the contracting activity
(M67854-07-D-8000).
Comments:
If as advertised this is a tremendous training tool.
Increasingly DoD will likely have to balance three-to-five-year technical
development programs with acute in-theater needs.
Air Force
Lockheed Martin Corp.,
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics of Fort Worth, Texas, is being awarded
a contract modification for
$182,615,911. This action provides for sustainment of the
F-22 Weapon System during Calendar Year's 2008 and 2009. At this
time $258,763,747 has been obligated. ASC/YFK, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Ohio, is the contracting activity (FA8611-08-C-2897).
The United Technologies Corp.,
Pratt and Whitney, of East Hartford, Conn., is being awarded an undefinitized contract
modification for $101,168,373. This contract will provide CY08 sustainment for
the F-22 Raptor F119 Engine. At this time $129,834,373 has been
obligated. ASC/YFK, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Ohio, is the contracting
activity (FA8611-08-C-2896
Comments: The
longer Congress, the DoD and the Executive delay a “final” number for F-22s the
higher the unit price is likely to become.
The difference between the stated 183 and 381 is going to be a tough
chasm to cross; this argument will continue well into the next presidential
administration. Time equals money,
especially when pressure mounts to keep the F-22 production line open.

Force Protection Industries,
Inc., Ladson, S.C.,
is being awarded a not to exceed $115,167,467 contract modification under
previously awarded firm-fixed-price contract (M67854-06-C-5162) to acquire 174
Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and associated test sets, spares
and support services. This action consummates a requirement under a Foreign
Military Sales order with the United Kingdom, Ministry of Defense. Work will be
performed in Ladson, S.C., and work is expected to be completed Jul. 2009. Funds
for this action are provided by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense and do
not expire. The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Va., is the contracting
activity.
Force Protection Industries,
Inc., Ladson, S.C.,
is being awarded a not to exceed $8,353,715 modification under previously
awarded contract (M67854-07-C-5039) to acquire 10 Mine Resistant Ambush
Protected (MRAP) vehicles and associated support services and parts for the
Italian Ministry of Defense under the Foreign Military Sales Program. Work will
be performed in Ladson, S.C., and work is expected to be completed Jun.
2009. Funds for this action are provided by the Italian Ministry of Defense and
do not expire. The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Va., is the
contracting activity.
Comments: Timing of
these releases is interesting, given the dustup over allegations of a 2-year
delay in deploying this family of vehicles to Iraq. The truth likely resides in
the fact that responses to tactics – in the form of new weapons systems – takes
time. A flood of recent domestic
and foreign MRAP contracts is likely an indication that the MRAP as a weapons
system is ready for production and delivery.

L-3 Communications Integrated
Systems, LP, Greenville, Texas, is being awarded a $10,717,774 modification to a
previously awarded indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract
(N00019-05-D-0008) for the P-3C Sustainment, Modification and Installation
Program (SMIP). Work will be performed in Waco, Texas, (60 percent) and
Greenville, Texas, (40 percent), and is expected to be completed in Dec.
2008. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The
Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md., is the contracting activity.
Comments: Although
this contract dollar value lacks the “Thud” normally highlighted here this
contract is likely one of many to come, as platform sustainment and availability
rates become more critical.
Structural fatigue has been a bedeviling problem for the Navy as its P-3 fleet
ages and it awaits entry into service of the P-8 Poseidon around 2013.
G2’s research into DoD acquisition of airframe structural components
carries with it further discussions on P-3 and other platform readiness impacts.
Please see information on Research Note AB077 for more information.
Here begins the first edition of the Thud Factor, a weekly
look at the biggest DoD contract actions, implications and commentary.
Although not scientific in nature, G2
Solutions’ selection of contract actions of import should give readers a
collective look at DoD spending priorities over time.
G2 Solutions comments will attempt to connect contract actions to DoD
needs, threat assessments and broader political and economic realities.
An interesting thread this week is the reiterated DoD text
to the effect of “one bid solicited with one bid received.”
Many of the company divisions listed here are the only option for
near-term fielding of new or upgraded weapons systems.
This is likely a function of both defense consolidation and an acute,
time-sensitive DoD need to field and deploy new, recapitalized and upgraded
platforms.

McDonnell Douglas
to Deliver a Total of 12 AH-64Ds for $133 Million
Image with selected AH-64D upgrades: FAS.org
McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Co., Mesa, Ariz., was awarded
on Feb. 14, 2008, a $133,386,899.00 unpriced contractual action firm fixed price
contract for full production of 11 Remanufactured and 1 New Build AH-64D Apache
Aircraft. Work will be performed at Mesa, Ariz., with an estimated completion

Comments:
McDonnell Douglas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, occupies a
unique position as the only manufacturer of U.S. attack helicopters.
Ah-64 Usage rates are running nearly triple that of a peacetime posture,
so it’s a good bet more upgrades, recapitalization and new builds will be
announced in the next five years to support operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Michigan. Contract Number: DAAE07-01-C-N030.
Comments: It may have simply been time for an upgrade to the
Army’s recovery vehicle fleets, but for better or worse business is probably
good for this segment of Army and Marine Corps capability.

time all funds have been obligated. GPSW/PK, El Segundo Calif., is the
contracting activity (F04701-02-C-0011; Modification P00059).
Comments: The DAGR appears to be a quantum leap over the
Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR), sometimes derisively referred to at
the “Plugger.” With soldier/marine
combat loadout weight of increasing concern the enhanced Size, Weight and Power
characteristics of the DAGR should be welcomed.

completed by Jun. 2013. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current
fiscal year. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington Navy Yard, D.C., is the
contracting activity.
Comments: The
Navy is at a point where it has little choice but to move forward in spite of
shrinking development dollars DoD wide.
In the Navy’s defense, plans for what became the DDG 1000 predated
prolonged presence in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Increasingly, development and lead times associated with the leap-ahead
transformational platforms and technologies embraced in the 1990s will be out of
line with immediate needs in theater.
This is not only a Navy problem, as need for technologies of now would
seem to be greater than those on systems to be fielded in the next 5 to ten
years.

Capability contract. At this time $157,822,075 has been
obligated. SMC/LRK, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif., is the contracting
activity (FA8816-06-C-0002, P00075).
Comment:
Assured access to space is assuredly expensive.
The myriad of positioning, communications and sensing DoD spaceborne
technologies have proven to be a vital force multiplier. This has helped in some
way to soften the budget hit(s) that the EELV program was supposed to have in
large part resolved. Initially the
EELV was a winner-take-all competition, but ultimately the 1990’s Air Force saw
commercial competition for launch slots (which didn’t ultimately materialize)
and increasing military space competition as drivers to “preserve the base.”
The decision to carry both Boeing and Lockheed Martin does guarantee
greater access, but at greater costs when the Air Force is asking for an extra
$20 billion per year for the next five years to maintain readiness levels.
