The Subcontractor shall accomplish the following tasks associated with the ATLAS and MLRL grand challenge problems. 2.1 ATLAS Grand Challenge The United States Air Forceâ s Mobility Air Forces (MAF) enterprise provides global reach for the U.S. military; setting the U.S. military apart from those of other nations and giving national leaders options to project hard and soft power at any location on the globe at any time. Current global hotspots stress the ability of of the MAF to deploy and sustain forces for combat and non-combat missions â particulary long duration conficts of humanitarian aid mission. AFRL needs the capability to assess the ability to perform the global mobility and sustainment using 1) new mobility concepts (aircraft designs), and 2) new concept systems to be deployed. The Subcontractor shall provide enhancement and modifications to the ATLAS tool to provide a light-weight tool for AFRL mobility and sustainment analysis. 2.2 Mission Level Reinforcement Learning Grand Challenge The USAF has long benefited from the tactical advantage over adversarial threats by high performance aircraft, advanced sensing and weapon systems, rigorous training practices, and thorough planning. Mission success is often dependant on how weapon systems are employed and tactics used. AFRL uses MS & A techniques to model and asses various tactics and concepts of employment. Tactics are implemented within AFSIM through different means, including 1) by leverage AFSIMSâ native scripting constructs, and 2) leveraging AFSIMâ s plug-in capability to integrate third party algorithms. Previous GC work focused on advancing maching learning techniques at lower lever actions such as how to maneuver an air vehicle and when to employ a weapon. This lower level exploration suffers from scalability when extending to larger mission level scenarios with hundreds of entities within a complex, multi-domain environment. The Subcontractor shall expand on their previous GC effort to explore scalability of algorithms across the MS & A pyramid to include one-on-one to a many-on-many multi-domain scenario. These algorithms shall be implemented in AFSIM.

1.3.1Multi-Domain Capability Assessments This emphasis area will apply MS & A/SBSE capabilities to represent and assess combinations of AFRL technologies specifically integrated to yield more effective military capabilities as applied to specific USAF missions. The potential technologies and capabilities to be assessed include, but are not limited to, current and future aerospace vehicles; sensor and effector systems; automation- and autonomy-enabled capabilities; space systems; cyber systems; electronic warfare systems; self-defense systems; communication systems and data links; conventional and non-conventional weapon systems; capabilities enabling or enhancing joint operations; threat systems (offensive and defensive); and threat scenarios/environments. The operational activities to be simulated and investigated as part of this effort potentially cover the entire spectrum of current and future USAF scenarios and missions, including approved DoD defense planning guidance (DPG) scenarios. 1.3.2Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) for Multi-Domain Capability Enhancement This emphasis area will apply MBSE techniques to provide functional representation of current and future aerospace capabilities described in Section 2.1 with a view to tie multi domain capability to the performance and energy requirement of systems, subsystems and components associated with the potential technologies of interest. Multi-fidelity, advanced MS & A techniques will help identify technology gaps and rapidly assess technology insertion benefits in a multi-domain environment while addressing the need to optimize the energy requirement and management of each platform. An integrated modeling approach that can estimate the energy required for propulsion along with the power and thermal requirements of the air vehicle subsystems and payloads is essential for a comprehensive evaluation of a platform's capabilities and minimize operational energy footprint. 1.3.3Analytic Wargames This emphasis area will include analytic wargame activities focused on helping technology developers better understand operational employment possibilities associated with their technologies and technology concepts. Analytic wargames help better define how new capabilities can be used to solve operational challenges faced by the Warfighter. In addition to designing and conducting analytic wargame activities, other specific activities could include concept definition and refinement; Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Concept of Employment (CONEMP) development and refinement; quick-turn adjudication of capability development and utilization; and Red team functions. 1.3.4Simulation Based Systems Engineering (SBSE) Capability Enhancement This area of emphasis will focus on developing, expanding, and improving upon capabilities associated with constructive simulation, virtual simulation, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and related tools/techniques as needed to enable multi-domain capability assessments and related analytic wargame activities. Both virtual and constructive simulation capabilities will be developed as appropriate at the needed levels of fidelity, abstraction, and classification.
