A -- UPDATE ON PUBLIC REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON AF TECHNOLOGY AREA PLANNING IN SUPPORT OF AF SPACE MISSION AREA PLANS POC Bob Peach/PL/XPI, (505)846-1685. IMPORTANT UPDATE on Public Request for Technical Information on Air Force Technology Area Planning (TAP) in support of Mission Area Plans (MAP). Phillips Laboratory invites interested representatives from aerospace and related industry to join us in support of TAP and MAP planning for FY 96. Information provided will form the basis of government space concept and technology recommendations for inclusion in the Air Force Science and Technologies Program Objective Memoranda (POM), AFSPC MAP, AFSPC modernization planning and AFSPC POM. Based on FY 94 Reverse Industry Days ~lessons learned~, we are requesting industry to be a part of the FY 96 planning cycle under slightly different rules. PLEASE READ THIS ANNOUNCEMENT VERY CAREFULLY. Reverse Industry Days held June to August 1994 was successful in allowing active participation by industry in the MAP and TAP planning processes. We will continue to solicit active industry input into the FY 96 MAP and TAP planning under slightly different rules. Industry input must be fully integrated into our annual USAF Laboratory planning process and input must support specific MAP deficiencies. To accomplish this goal the Reverse Industry Days process is being realigned into the normal annual MAP and TAP planning cycle. To learn the direction we are going in space and other laboratory pursuits, industry can attend the Strategic Opportunities Review (SOR) on January 26-27, 1995. Only selected contractors will be invited for return briefings to us on 23-24 February during the Industry Recommendation Review (IRR). All of industry will be invited to the Briefing For Industry (BFI) in Early August 1995 to learn contracting opportunities as a result of this planning process. In summary, what was formerly Reverse Industry Days Part I (Lab briefings to Industry) is being replaced by the SOR 26-27 January, 1995. Reverse Industry Days Part II (Industry briefings to the Lab) is being replaced by the IRR on 23-24 February 1995. The BFI in Early August 1995 will provide insight into new government procurement activity. In this way the concept of Reverse Industry Days can better support the annual MAP and TAP planning process. In order to best utilize our resources and yours, WE MUST ONLY CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH ADDRESS SPECIFIC MAP DEFICIENCIES WITH SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS. This will be done by screening white papers. It was observed that Reverse Industry Days Part II contained many good recommendations on improving the MAP process with several industry recommendations ''on target'' in addressing specific MAP deficiencies. However, many briefers from industry did not fully understand that we needed SPECIFIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS to SPECIFIC MAP DEFICIENCIES. The result was a number of marketing oriented briefings and briefings on current projects under contract. For this reason, consideration for an invitation to the IRR on 23-24 February will ONLY be extended to contractors whose ideas are first presented in white paper format 15 days after the SOR. Since the white paper will be the sole basis for invitation to the IRR, its importance becomes obvious. For NEW CONCEPTS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED TECHNOLOGIES, we request that contractors provide a new concept report within 30 days after the SOR. If needed, an additional briefing will be requested. Format and content of the technology white paper and the new concept report will be explained further at the SOR. It is anticipated that all submissions for new concepts and technologies should include basic information such as a detailed description, the relevance to deficiencies, estimated performance capabilitieompany representativengineers and scientists familiar with advanced space technology and related areas. On February 23-24, 1995, we will host the Industry Recommendation Review (IRR). At the IRR selected companies will have the opportunity to present technology solutions that specifically address SOR-briefed user requirements and deficiencies thus providing input to the annual TAP and MAP cycles.
