" 9-Dec-99 MEMORANDUM FOR: Parties Interested in providing Complete Alternatives for the Combat Rescue Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) FROM: ASC/LUH ATTN: Ms. Kathy Walston 2275 D Street, Room 142 Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7233 SUBJECT: Combat Rescue AoA Request for Information (RFI) #1 1. Air Combat Command (ACC) is analyzing concepts/alternatives to assess their relative cost effectiveness and affordability for sustaining the U.S. Air Force's Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) capability. After complete concepts/alternatives (aircraft platform-level, including subsystems, and support/training systems) are received, the Air Force intends to analyze those that provide the most opportunity to satisfy currently deficient mission capabilities while maintaining, as a minimum, existent Combat Rescue capability. A detailed Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) will follow to ascertain whether or not the concepts/alternatives exceed/meet/do not meet the specific measures of effectiveness. The AoA will include modeling, simulation, and CSAR scenarios projected for 2010. If this analysis results in the initiation of an acquisition program to procure a replacement for the HH- 60G aircraft, the Initial Operational Capability (IOC) would be in place by the end of FY07. Complete concepts/alternatives must be submitted. 2. This is not a Request for Proposal. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI. Submitting concepts/alternatives for the RFI is voluntary, and participants will not be compensated. The attachments included in this RFI are as follows: a.
