The contractor will perform systems engineering activities that may include, but are not limited to:
· Acquisition management advice and recommendations based on a comprehensive understanding of Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5000.02 (Operation of the Defense Acquisition System), AR 70-1 (Army Acquisition Policy), MIL HDBK 245 (Handbook for the preparation of SOW), and MIL HDBK 61A (Configuration Management).
· Coordination with PEO Headquarters staff (i.e., budget, systems engineering, logistics, and contracts planning) to identify, prepare, review, and track approval of program documentation.
· Prepare, review, and staff engineering and programmatic documents, such as: Systems Engineering Plan, Test and Evaluation Master Plan, Information Support Plan, Program Protection Plan, Materiel Release Package, and Cybersecurity Strategy.
· Participate in technical reviews, including events leading to the review, and events after the review, such as: Software Specification Review, System Requirements Review, System • Functional Review, Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review, Production Readiness Review, Functional Configuration Audit, and Physical Configuration Audit. The contractor shall be familiar with the IEEE 15288.2 (Technical Reviews), IEEE 15288.1, and PEO IEW&S Policy for Technical Review.
· Participate in the weekly/bi-weekly integrated product teams and working groups by offering subject matter expertise.
