2. | WV DAF IMPLEMENTATION SCOPE | |
This section describes the administration of work DG will perform under the WV DAF Purchase Agreement for the implementation of a WV DAF at the End-User facility. | ||
2.1 | Contractual Relationships | |
DigitalGlobe has partnered with MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates (MDA) for the design and construction of the Direct Access Facility (DAF). DigitalGlobe has entered into a prime contract relationship with Customer for the delivery of DAFs and for the provision of a multi-year WorldView data downlink agreement toCustomers End-User. Customer shall represent the End-Users interests for the deliverables under this Statement of Work (SOW). MDA is a prime contractor to DigitalGlobe for the construction and installation of the DAF. | ||
Under this agreement, Customer will provide certain Customer Furnished Items (CFI) items to be integrated into the DAF by MDA. | ||
DigitalGlobe will have authority to review and accept the DAF implementation contract deliverables produced by MDA. DigitalGlobe is responsible to MDA for obtaining any required customer input for deliverable reviews. | ||
This SOW identifies specifically the party who conducts each activity however DG maintains responsibility to Customer for all activities under this SOW including those conducted by MDA or other suppliers. | ||
2.2 | Description of Work | |
Under this WV DAF Purchase Agreement, DG will procure hardware, install software, integrate, install, and test a DAF installation at the End-User facility that is operationally ready to conduct the necessary activities under the Direct Access Program. Prior to its delivery, the Standard DAF will be previously qualified by DG and MDA under a previous development contract between DG and MDA. The Standard DAF constitutes all of the hardware components in table 3 of section 2.2.7.2. The complete DAF functionality requirements are described in Appendix A of the DAF Purchase Agreement. DG will be responsible for the overall program including review, approval and acceptance of MDA work and for all work related to updates of the existing WV Headquarters system to support this DAF implementation and its delivery to the End-User. | ||
MDA is responsible for conducting any engineering or development specific to this DAF installation. Customer is responsible for any engineering or development for CFI items specific to this DAF installation and Customer is responsible for all deliverables and actions by the End-User. DigitalGlobe is responsible for any overall engineering and development outside of the DAF to ensure the WV satellites, DigitalGlobe Headquarters, and DAFs all work together in an operational state for the End-User. | ||
A significant element of this DAF implementation is the addition of the CFI Hitachi Order Management System (HOMS) into the DAF. Customer will design, build, and test the HOMS at the Customer facility. The HOMS will be delivered to MDA prior to the DAF Factory |
4
Acceptance Test (FAT) for integration into the DAF. The HOMS becomes part of the DAF starting with the DAF FAT. The HOMS components are listed in the Customer Furnished Items table 9 of section 2.2.8 and in the HOMS requirements table 12 of section 4. | ||
2.2.1 | Schedule | |
This DAF implementation will consist of two primary delivery milestones relative to the delivery of functionality for the WorldView-1 and WorldView-2 satellites. Delivery milestone one will be the delivery of a DAF capable of operations with the WorldView-1 Satellite. Delivery milestone two will be the delivery of a software update to add in the functionality for the WorldView-2 satellite. Table-1 provides a schedule of events required to meet the operational readiness dates. | ||
2.2.2 | Implementation Project Activities | |
All implementation activities are divided into several phases in which defined tasks are performed; defined outputs are produced and validated before proceeding to the next phase. The following provides a description of each major phase of an implementation. | ||
2.2.2.1 | Implementation and Facility Planning Phase | |
This phase begins with a Kick-Off (KO) meeting at MDAs facility to initiate the project planning tasks including a review of End-User specific details, proposed schedule, and facility requirements. | ||
Project initiation tasks in this phase include developing the DAF Implementation Plan, staffing the project, and identifying and surveying End-User furnished facilities and equipment. A customer specific Facility Requirements Specification is finalized and reviewed showing what elements are to be provided by Customer or the End-User. Also during this phase MDA will begin the procurement of hardware and equipment on a schedule consistent with the delivery of the DAF. Some long lead items may already be on order in anticipation of this Implementation Task Order. | ||
Implementation Plans, External Interface Control Documents (ICD) and Facility Requirements will be presented for review and approval by DigitalGlobe and Customer at the Implementation Plan Review (IPR) which will be held at the End-Users facility approximately one month following the contract start. | ||
2.2.2.2 | Procurement Phase | |
All remaining Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware and software not already ordered is placed on order during this phase by MDA. MDA will apply for any Canadian export permits, license and insurance as required for this implementation. DigitalGlobe will also apply for U.S. Government export permits, license and insurance as required for this implementation |
5
2.2.2.3 | Hitachi Order Management System (HOMS) Development and Delivery | |
At the DAF KO, Customer provides preliminary technical information on their vision for the Hitachi Order Management System (HOMS) to DigitalGlobe and MDA, for reference purposes. Customer, DigitalGlobe and MDA will perform analysis of the HOMS requirements described in section 4 and any additional requirements mutually agreed upon. At the DAF Implementation Requirements Review (IRR), the HOMS requirements, including interfaces, are reviewed by Customer, DigitalGlobe, and MDA and agreed upon. | ||
Using the agreed-upon requirements, Customer will design the HOMS with close communication with MDA and DigitalGlobe. At the DAF Implementation Design Review (IDR), the HOMS design and the DAF design related to the HOMS integration shall be reviewed by Customer, DigitalGlobe, and MDA and agreed upon. The HOMS Qualification Test Plan and updates to the DAF Test Plan related to the HOMS integration shall also be reviewed and approved at this meeting. | ||
At the DAF Implementation Test Procedures Review (TPR), the HOMS Factory Qualification Test Procedures and DAF Acceptance Test Procedures related to the integrated order management (HOMS and OHS) functionality shall be reviewed by Customer, DigitalGlobe, and MDA. | ||
After the HOMS development is complete, a HOMS Factory Qualification Test (FQT) is conducted by Customer where the HOMS Factory Qualification Test Procedures are run to verify that this CFI component meets the HOMS requirements. DigitalGlobe will accept the delivery of CFI HOMS after the successful completion of the HOMS FQT and provide the CFI to MDA for integration in the Standard DAF and the HOMS becomes part of the DAF as delivered under this SOW. | ||
2.2.2.4 | Integration, Configuration and Pre-Shipment Phase | |
MDA will receive, inspect, and qualify all incoming materials and place them under configuration management for the project, including the HOMS. MDA will conduct all factory integration, configuration, and system test of the DAF implementation. | ||
During this phase, the DAF Acceptance Test Plan and Procedures are presented at the interim program management review held at the MDA facility. The test plan details Site Acceptance Testing and forms the basis for FAT activity. | ||
A pre-shipment DAF FAT will be conducted at the MDA facility to confirm system level functionality. DAF functionality testing is limited to confirming high-level WorldView-1 system functionality against the pre-qualified Standard DAF design and specific testing associated with non-standard requirements, including the new integrated order management functionality (HOMS and the Order Handling System (OHS)). Some subcontractor supplied systems, such as the antenna system upgrade, will be tested and qualified at the vendor facility by the vendor and MDA. |
6
Prior to shipping, Pre-Shipment Review (PSR) will be conducted at the MDA facility. The results of the FAT will be reviewed including the validation of configuration reports and the DAF documentation suite. Export Permits, Insurance and other legal and logistical elements will be validated and confirmed to be in order. The readiness of the End-User facility for the DAF installation and the readiness of Customer supplied CFI elements will also be reviewed and validated. Ultimately a determination of the DAF readiness for shipping and installation will be completed. | ||
2.2.2.5 | Shipping | |
MDA will coordinate all shipping activities including the coordination of subcontractor shipments. Prior to shipping, all hardware and software components will be identified and tagged by MDAs Configuration Management process. This information is recorded in a System Configuration Report and is updated as necessary at the Site Acceptance Test (SAT). Following the SAT, the report is provided to Customer. | ||
MDA is responsible for all Canadian export procedures and export permit processes and DigitalGlobe is responsible for all U.S. Government export procedures and export permit processes. Customer is responsible for all import paperwork, customs clearance, and local delivery in their country. | ||
All DAF systems, except the antenna system upgrade, will be air-freighted to the nearest port of entry in the destination country. The antenna system supplier will handle all packing and shipping of the antenna system upgrade directly from their facility to the port of entry. | ||
2.2.2.6 | DAF Installation Phase | |
The antenna system upgrade and DAF system installations will generally occur in parallel, but not necessarily so. The Antenna supplier will perform the installation and functional testing of the antenna system at the End-User facility and MDA will perform all other DAF system installation and testing which includes operational support for the WorldView-1 Satellite. | ||
The Antenna System Upgrade Site Acceptance Test (ASAT) will be conducted by MDA and/or the supplier. DigitalGlobe and Customer may elect to attend the test. The DAF System Site Acceptance Test (SAT) will occur after the ASAT and when the DAF system installation is complete. MDA will conduct the testing, which is witnessed by DigitalGlobe, Customer and the End-User. Customer represents the End-User and provides acceptance to DigitalGlobe and DigitalGlobe provides acceptance to MDA. | ||
Prior to sending the full installation team to the End-User facility, MDA will confirm the readiness of the facility for DAF installation. System installation begins with MDA unpacking and having Customer and DigitalGlobe witness the inventory of all parts. MDA will install and integrate all the components including integration with the antenna system and the End-Users computer network. MDA will conduct dry-run DAF Acceptance Test Procedures to confirm readiness for the formal Site Acceptance Test. |
7
After installation is complete, Customer and/or the End-Customer will conduct an Initial Check-Out Inspection with the attendance of DigitalGlobe and MDA. The check-out will be a physical inspection of the DAF equipment installation for quality and compliance to end-user facility construction requirements. With installation, dry-run testing, and Initial Check-Out Inspection completed, a DAF SAT Test Readiness Review (TRR) will be conducted. Customer, MDA and DigitalGlobe will make a determination of readiness for the DAF SAT. | ||
DAF SAT will demonstrate to the End-User, Customer and DigitalGlobe that the DAF meets the WorldView-1 functionality and performance requirements and can perform the operational modes of the DAF, including the antenna system. DAF SAT testing will include tests executed with live WorldView-1 data downlinks and end-to-end test sequences that validate the system as operationally ready. Customer will represent the End-User during the DAF SAT, and Customer will sign and issue the DAF Acceptance certificate to DigitalGlobe upon successful completion of the DAF SAT and demonstration of the system meeting requirements. DigitalGlobe will then provide acceptance to MDA. | ||
2.2.2.7 | WorldView-2 Functionality Update Phase | |
After the DAF has been installed and operational for the Worldview-1 satellite, DigitalGlobe will complete the Worldview-2 (WV-2) functionality development and schedule the installation of the WV-2 update on the DAF. It is anticipated that no hardware changes or additional hardware equipment will be necessary. The WV-2 functionality update will be a software installation on the previously installed DAF. | ||
Prior to sending the software update and installation team to the End-User facility, MDA will confirm the WV-2 functionality update has been completed and passed all factory development testing and is ready for installation on the DAF. | ||
Installation begins with MDA installing the software updates on the existing DAF. MDA will conduct dry-run WV-2 Functionality Acceptance Test Procedures to confirm readiness for the formal Site Acceptance Test. | ||
After installation is complete, Customer, MDA and DigitalGlobe will make a determination of readiness for the WV-2 SAT. | ||
WV-2 SAT will demonstrate to the End-User, Customer and DigitalGlobe that the DAF meets the functionality and performance requirements for Operations with the Worldview-2 satellite. WV-2 SAT testing will include tests executed with live WorldView-2 data downlinks and end-to-end test sequences that validate the system as operationally ready. Customer will represent the End-User at the SAT tests, and will sign and issue the WV-2 DAF Update Acceptance certificate to DigitalGlobe upon successful completion of the WV-2 SAT. DigitalGlobe will provide acceptance to MDA. | ||
2.2.2.8 | Customer Training | |
