CIS Development and Sustainment: CIS development and sustainment includes participation in SWFTS-managed community design and requirements definition in order to develop, configure and integrate infrastructure, and test through fielding and life-cycle support. The potential requirement may include the following: Provide “end-to-end” system engineering development, integration, test, and life cycle support for CIS. Maintain CIS deployment configurations across hardware baselines where technically feasible in order to support SWFTS alignment. Provide logistics support for modernization and in-service platforms including developing and updating the Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM), system notes, and training material. Assess and incorporate Information Assurance (IA)/Cybersecurity modifications and updates in support of AN/BYG-1 and SWFTS. Manage the CIS program’s contractual and financial aspects. Provide connectivity among SWFTS subsystems in accordance with SWFTS external interface definitions. Integrate and test CIS, ensuring the CIS is capable of hosting virtualized and/or containerized software modules, supporting software development and integration of participating SWFTS subsystems. Support TI hardware refresh planning to estimate and select adequate computing resources for application hosting and associated hotel services requirements (power, cooling, footprint). Support re-architecture and modernization of SoS infrastructure components based on recommendations from the SWFTS Architecture Integrated Product Team. Provide technical/troubleshooting support for modernization and new construction installation and test periods, including software and logistics product support. Validate and assess CIS performance, suitability, sustainability, and safety.
