    STATEMENT OF WORK_MATLAB.ch1.docx
    The document outlines a Statement of Work for the JCREW I1B1 System of Systems, sponsored by NAVSEA, to provide software support for military applications, particularly in countering radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (CIED) and counter-unmanned aerial systems (CUAS). The Software Support Activity (SSA) is tasked with software sustainment, integration, and technical insertion, necessitating the renewal of MATLAB licenses and tools for algorithm development essential to the JCREW system. MATLAB, selected by Northrop Grumman, plays a crucial role in upcoming JCREW upgrades, which increasingly incorporate machine learning and artificial intelligence. The document specifies new MATLAB products, including toolboxes for 5G communications, filter design, and wireless communication development, essential for system performance. Each toolbox aids in modeling, simulation, and verification tasks tailored to meet military operational requirements. As the SSA integrates these solutions, compliance with the Capabilities Production Document (CPD) and Lifecycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP) becomes critical. Thus, this SOW serves as a foundational blueprint for ensuring JCREW’s software capabilities align with operational needs, supporting the broader mission of the DoD under ACAT II program classification.
