CONCEPTS DUE: 30 May 2000. The AF TENCAP Division of the Space Warfare Center (SWC/CT) and SMC DET 11/AD solicit your concepts for FY02 AF TENCAP projects. AF TENCAP is a non-traditional acquisition program (per DoDD 5000.1, Defense Acquisition) that rapidly develops prototypes projects, validates proofs of concept and demonstrates capabilities, then transitions them to the warfighter or to an appropriate acquisition agency for further development. We are looking forpapers outlining concepts and proposed projects that exploit space systems, National Technical Means (NTM) and related technologies through creative uses of space and airborne systems to support near-term tactical warfighter needs. Development funds are available to support those concepts which best satisfy the tactical warfighter needs. Priority consideration will be given to concept submissions addressing one or more MAJCOM deficiencies and fall within the AF TENCAP mission. Additional points will be given to projects that also focus on the area of operational support to the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF). The special interest areas identified within AEF support are situational/battlespace awareness-Combat Identification and/or Real Time Information into the Cockpit/Out of the Cockpit (RTIC/RTOC), AEF mission/enroute planning for time critical targeting, and precision suppression of enemy air defenses/electronic warfare. MAJCOM deficiencies we would like to see addressed are in the Future Concepts Process Guide, which can be found on SIPRNET web site or GWAN site: http://www.swc.spacecom.smil.mil/CTweb/index.htm S: ORGANIZATIONS OSO GLOBAL SWC AF_TENCAP FY02 Call for Concepts Only concept papers that meet all criteria and are submitted in the proper format will be considered.
