- Description
- The AFRL GSTF INDUSTRY DAY will disseminate specifics for a Request for Information (RFI). It will be held on Wednesday, 26 June 2002 (8 AM to 12 Noon) at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio (Building 642, Kenney Auditorium). Briefings will be held at the Secret level. Please send your security clearance information to HQ AFRL/XPA (Attention Major David Agins), 1864 4th Street (Bldg 15), WPAFB OH 45433-7131. Or you may FAX it to 937-904-7011. Last day to provide visit requests is 17 Jun 2002. The RFI will be asking for input by 27 September 2002 that will provide AFRL with technology, information, weapon system and/or other ideas for enhancing capabilities supporting the Global Strike Task Force (GSTF). AFRL Plans and Programs Directorate (AFRL/XP) is seeking this information to better align technology projects and program investments for the future. This interest extends to system-Ievel and system-of-system concepts. Background: Events on September 11, 2001 sparked a call for more rapidly responsive air forces. US military operations have traditionally relied on deploying superior power close to an adversary in a time-consuming build-up phase before beginning operations. However, potential adversaries are acquiring a wide variety of advanced anti-access systems that threaten to discourage US intervention, disrupt coalitions, or prevent coalition forces from operating from desired locations. To overcome these threats, the USAF is developing new concepts of operations (CONOPS) that leverage the many recent technological advances in survivability, target acquisition, precision munitions, and a breadth of information technologies. The USAF GSTF concept will leverage current and near term capabilities to overcome theater access threats and rapidly establish air dominance. The GSTF is based on 28 capabilities focused in 6 categories (Strike, Survivability, Force Protection, C31, (Logistics/Combat Support, and Strike Find-Fix-Track-and Target or F2T2). Established air dominance through the GSTF further provides joint aerospace, land, and sea forces the freedom to attack and to be free from attack.
