- Description
- SYNOPSIS: AFLCMC/WIN manages the USAF Imaging & Targeting Support (I&TS) portfolio supporting the Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Capabilities Working Group (GCWG). The GCWG manages and plans Air Force airborne GEOINT Capabilities Research, Development Test and Evaluation investments. The I&TS portfolio is a key resource of the GCWG. The I&TS portfolio identifies and provides limited funding to develop and demonstrate promising next-generation Air Force airborne GEOINT capabilities. I&TS develops, matures, and demonstrates next generation sensor and processing capabilities. It provides a key linkage between government and industry research labs for fielding DoD GEOINT tools with the flexibility to adapt each development cycle to the evolving mission sets and threat situation. Using an annual cycle approach for continuous innovation that is prioritized by the GEOINT Capabilities Working Group (GCWG), I&TS supports the three Mission Areas defined in the 2024 US Air Force Chief of Staff One Force Design document: Mission Area 1 (MA1) - the dense threat area which will be under constant attack from adversary ballistic and cruise missiles or attack UAVs. Mission Area 2 (MA2) - the defendable area offering relative sanctuary beyond the umbrella of most adversary ballistic and cruise missiles or attack UAVs. Mission Area 3 (MA3) - the broader area that covers most of the world with positions resilient to limited adversary attack that demands flexibility to span a range of potential future crises. PURPOSE: In support of the I&TS program, AFLCMC/WIN is conducting market research across industry, academia, and government agency programs. The intent is to identify promising candidate programs/technology efforts with projected capabilities that may improve current and future Air Force airborne GEOINT sensors and their role in enhancing the front side of end-to-end-functionality as well as identifying potential transition paths. Market research will help identify what research has been accomplished in the field of GEOINT, as well as technologies that currently exist or could be modified to fill a need. Although FY27 funding is uncertain, I&TS is seeking 1 - 2 year projects beginning in FY27 that require funding of less than $2.5 million per year with an initial Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 4-6 and an objective of taking TRL to 6 or higher (See the DoW�s Technology Readiness Assessment Guidebook for details on defining technology readiness level).
