AIR FORCE MODERNIZATION PLANNING CONCEPT CALL In support of the United States Air Force (USAF) Modernization Planning Process (MPP), the Aeronautical Systems Center Plans and Programs Directorate (ASC/XP) is collecting and evaluating potential solution concepts to current and forecasted Air Force Mission Area needs and deficiencies. Although several USAF Centers issue Concept Calls, inputs to ASC may have application throughout the Air Force. This is not a Request for Proposal. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Concept Call. Submitting data or information for the Concept Call is totally voluntary, and participants will not be compensated. All information and data submitted to the government must be nonproprietary and will not be treated by the government as confidential. ASC Technical Planning Integrated Product Teams (TPIPTs) have collated needs and deficiencies in the following Mission Areas and functional tasks: Air Superiority (Air-to-Air, Electronic Combat Theater Missile Defense), Aircrew Training, Special Operations (Provide Mobility of Forces in Denied Territory, Force Application, Psychological Operations, Aviation Foreign Internal Defense, Joint Air-SOF Battlefield Interface), Mobility (Combat Delivery, Strategic Airlift, Air Refueling), Air Base Systems, Air-to-Surface (Strategic Attack/Interdiction, Close Air Support), and Rescue. ASC/XP is facilitating USAF identification of potential solutions to the needs and deficiencies from industry. The needs and deficiencies can be made available to any government agency or US industry participant in the DoD Industrial Security Program. To participate in this solicitation for information, requesters must provide ASC/XP with: (a) mailing address, (b) CAGE code, and (c) a point of contact according to the procedures in the following paragraph: Qualified industry participants can electronically obtain needs and deficiencies by Mission Area and instructions for submitting solution concepts to the needs or deficiencies. To be provided access to the instructions, needs, deficiencies, and a concept submittal template, go to http://www.wpafb.af.mil/asc/xp/concall/ and follow the instructions. Once you have obtained a user name and password, you may download the needs and deficiencies files. Submittals will be accepted on a continual basis. However, concepts submitted before 30 September 2000 will have a higher probability of receiving Air Force consideration in the 2004 Program Objective Memorandum activity occuring in July 2001. The TPIPTs plan to evaluate concepts for USAF applications and forward them to appropriate government agencies. Questions regarding the Concept Call should be directed to asc.xpi@wpafb.af.mil.
