Ports and Waterways Safety System (PAWSS) IDIQ Preventative, Corrective and Adaptive Maintenance
Forecast details
Requirement
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) C5I develops, builds, fields, trains, and supports advanced electronic command, control, and navigation systems. The USCG uses a modified version of the Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMCO) Maritime Traffic Management (MTM) software as a key component of Ports and Waterways Safety System (PAWSS). Supporting the USCG's Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) mission across the continental US and Alaska, PAWSS provides vessel tracking, correlation and Command & Control (C2) capabilities. The USCG installed PAWSS at nine Vessel Traffic Center (VTC) units with sensors & related equipment at 67 remote site facilities. PAWSS operates on a 24/7 schedule and has a subject availability of 99.75% per VTC unit. The system is a highly tailored product designed to meet USCG requirements. PAWSS is an Information System (IS) that resides on the CG One DHS network. It consists of a base set of software components provided by LMCO as part of their MTM software suite integrated with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) RADAR and Automatic Identification System (AIS) components, as provided by USCG C5I. Continuation of LMCO sustainment operations, maintenance and engineering development services are required for continued lifecycle management of PAWSS.
