Support for flight tests will include providing the aircraft, targets, test equipment, and instrumentation. Interested sources must submit substantiation of their ability to provide the products and support identified in the attached SOO. The substantiation must address their ability to deliver the products as non-developmental items within the timelines listed. The substantiation may include previous deliveries of products and support for combat aircraft or test data and analysis that support safety and airworthiness certification of the capability on C-130s, Cessna Caravans, or other platforms.
