Description

As the organic Lead Systems Integrator (oLSI) for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Webster Outlying Field (WOLF) operates under a product-based business model whereby NAWCAD WOLF civilians lead and manage the execution of the requirements with combined Government-Industry teams. Using this oLSI approach, the Government maintains control of intellectual property and data rights, enabling WOLF to rapidly adapt solutions to the dynamic needs of the warfighter.

The NAWCAD WOLF Airborne Systems Integration (ASI) Division provides the rapid insertion and transition of advanced technologies, systems, sensors, and weapons which enable Programs of Record (PoR) to successfully execute and deliver the direct insertion of capabilities to meet urgent fleet needs. The NAWCAD WOLF ASI Division, operating under the oLSI model, has requirements for engineering and integration of various airborne capabilities to include, but not be limited to, sensors, communications systems, weapons systems, and control technologies for a variety of manned and unmanned airborne platforms. Specifically, the ASI Division requires the Contractor to support development, design, prototyping, low-rate production, demonstration, testing, integration, technical installation, transition through Initial Operational Capability (IOC), and maintenance in the domains of cyber, Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), situational awareness, data management and dissemination, and other rapid capability software requirements with the ASI Division in support of Department of Navy (DON), Department of Defense (DoD), and other Government agency projects.
