Maritime Survivability Library (MSL) Software Engineering and Support Services

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking a contractor to provide software engineering and support services for the Maritime Survivability Library (MSL) program. The MSL is a software program that predicts the probability of damage of maritime weapons through machine learning. The contractor will be responsible for continuing the development of the MSL program, including developing algorithms and strategies for making lethality predictions, improving multi-hit damage prediction algorithms, and creating workflow improvements. The contractor will also be responsible for integrating the MSL program with other maritime lethality tools, such as Target Damage Cards (TDC), Integrated Naval Simulations for Testing and Evaluation (INSiTE), and Submarine Vulnerability and Lethality Undersea Evaluator (SUBVALUE). The contract is for a period of one year, and the primary place of performance will be the contractor's facility. • The contractor will provide engineering services to support the continued development of the MSL program. • The contractor will develop algorithms and strategies for making lethality predictions on additional weapon and warhead characteristics. • The contractor will improve multi-hit damage prediction algorithms and strategies. • The contractor will create workflow improvements for executing training, validation, and tuning via modifications to the command-line-interface and development of new graphical user interfaces. • The contractor will integrate the MSL program with other maritime lethality tools, such as TDC, INSiTE, and SUBVALUE.
