Description

This Notice Superceeds previous notice published on 25 August 2000: CONCEPT CALL TO INDUSTRY FOR SOLUTION CONCEPTS TO ADDRESS USAF INFORMATION WARFARE NEEDS: Request for Information: Invitation to industry, academia, associations, and other interested parties to participate in Information Warfare (IW) discussions sponsored by the IW Technical Planning Integrated Product Team (TPIPT) and the IW Mission Area Team (MAT). 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 FY00 IW MAP and draft FY02 IW Needs will be available for viewing by 8 September 2000. The FY00 IW MAP and draft FY02 IW Needs are classified SECRET/NOFORN. Interested parties may view those two classified documents plus an unclassified generic set of questions and may submit solution concepts. Solution concepts meriting further consideration will be considered by the IW MAT and IW TPIPT for inclusion in the FY02 IW MAP. IW TPIPT Concept Call discussions will be held 12 -- 14 December 2000 at Hanscom AFB, MA. Parties wishing to brief solution concepts should submit unclassified or classified white papers by 23 October 2000.
