Subject Matter: We will discuss solution concepts that address Fiscal Year 2002 (FY02) IW Needs. Background: Information Superiority is a core competency of the United States Air Force (USAF). In support of this core competency, the IW TPIPT strives to enhance Air Force (AF) Information Operations (IO) capabilities by capitalizing on technology solutions for warfighter requirements. Information Warfare is a mission area that supports Information Superiority. The Aerospace Command and Control Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center (AC2ISRC) is the lead organization developing the FY02 IW Mission Area Plan (MAP) on behalf of Air Combat Command. The MAP contains a description of tasks for this mission area. A description of how well the AF can accomplish these tasks given its current capabilities. A listing of operational capabilities the AF needs, and a listing of proposed solution concepts that the AF would like to implement (i.e. acquire). The draft FY02 IW Needs will be available for viewing by 28 August 2000. Interested parties may view the FY00 MAP and the FY02 Needs and submit solution concepts. Solution concepts meriting further consideration will be considered by the IW MAT and TPIPT for inclusion in the FY02 IW MAP. IW TPIPT Concept Call discussions will be held 5 -- 7 December 2000 at Hanscom AFB, MA. Parties wishing to brief solution concepts should submit unclassified or classified white papers by 29 September 2000.
