BRAWLER is a few-on-few air combat model. It is the primary tool used by AFSAA to evaluate US and allied aircraft, missiles and avionics against various threat systems. AFSAA/SAA, currently located at the Pentagon but soon to relocate to Rosslyn VA, is the primary user. BRAWLER is used to compare similar weapon systems, therefore, interested Contractors should not be involved in the development of any weapons systems that BRAWLER can simulate. Interested sources must submit evidence that they can provide managerial and technical support for the BRAWLER air combat model in the following areas: 1) Model Enhancements; 2) Model and Database Support; 3) In-house Study Support; 4)Configuration Control; 5)Programs Management; 6) Documentation; 7) Training.
