Headquarters Air Combat Command (ACC) requires implementation of an encrypted P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) data link to a) protect tactics and training methods and b) allow 4th generation aircraft to engage the F-35 during training missions. The solution identified is a shop-replaceable retrofit kit to replace the obsolete Data Guard Processor (DGP) in the Airborne Subsystem (AS)/pods that consists of a Data Security Module (DSM), and a P5 AS modified End Cap (MEC), interface cable(s) and associated hardware. The DSM shall encrypt data through a National Security Agency (NSA) certified Type 1 encryptor and provide a NSA certified control interface that enables or restricts the access or transfer of information between security domains. The DSM, MEC, associated hardware, software and technical data is referred to as the System Security Update (SSU) kit. The engineering, hardware, software, documentation, and other efforts required to manage and produce the kits is referred to as the SSU program. The P5CTS AS currently transmits unencrypted Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) over-the-air. Department of Defense�s (DoD's) Risk Management Framework (RMF) requires that classified and CUI information be encrypted. Accordingly, the P5CTS must remedy the obsolescence concern and noted deficiencies to enable continued operations through at least 2030. These kits will be obtained through source selection procedures IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFAR) Part 15, Air Force Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) Part 15, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Procedures, Guidance and Information (DFARS Subpart 215.3--Source Selection) with the new DoD source selection procedures memorandum revised on 01 Apr 2016.
