At the heart of Directed Energy Directorate’s research is the mission of the United States Air Force: to deliver sovereign options for the defense of the United States of America and its global interests – to fly and fight in air, space and cyberspace. The RDMW mission integrates the technical competencies, listed above, to satisfy mission partner requirements in an environment of rapidly increasing demand, emerging requirements, and evolving, dynamic threats.

RDMW has previously developed directed energy software code/models and supporting software to run constructive and man-in-the-loop virtual simulations. The simulations were constructed portraying specific battlespaces in operationally realistic scenarios engaging current and future threats expected to be in the area of responsibility.

The DEMU program utilizes the Directed Energy Technology Experimentation and Research (DETER) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA), pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2373 “Procurement for Experimental Purposes” to develop and acquire, “research and development (R&D), modeling and simulation (M&S), design, component/subsystem, prototype risk reduction, fabrication/purchase, assembly, integration, and testing of directed energy source components (to include spares and alternate component technologies), and/or systems and any required accessories, materials, and supplies for laboratory research and experimentation and field trials in a relevant environment to demonstrate system capabilities” within the scope of Technical Areas #V and #VI in the DETER announcement.

2. OBJECTIVES

The AFRL Wargaming and Simulation Branch (RDMW), within the RDM Division, contains the Directed Energy Military Utility (DEMU) Program. The DEMU Program performs Military Utility Assessments (MUA) of DE concepts through the use of wargaming modeling, simulation, analysis and assessment knowledge and technical capabilities to support protection of strategic military utility.

Key DEMU goals will be realized through Directed Energy Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Wargaming (DEMSAW) program. DEMSAW program will develop a credible virtual range where warfighters can experience the future scenarios using future weapon concepts against future threats.

The virtual range scenarios will need to represent the full battlespace of systems of systems, utilizing Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration and Modeling (AFSIM), currently AF’s primary MS&A tool for mission-level modeling. The full kill chain of sensors (radars, electro-optical, infrared etc), effectors (Directed Energy, Kinetic Energy, Electronic Warfare and Cyber Weapons), blue systems, red systems, and red threats need to be operationally realistically represented in our simulated environment.

The awardee shall be able to complete the technical objectives defined in Section 4, Technical Objectives.

3. SCOPE

The awardee shall lead the development of a credible virtual range. To develop a credible range, the awardee will be required to manage the execution of the tasks associated with the development and integration of the various subcomponents into a mission capable weapon system model and scenario including planning, budgeting, scheduling, supporting reviews, and providing status updates.

The awardee shall be familiar with Military Utility Studies, Design, Integration, and User Interface, as defined below, are used as part of the integral process to complete the technical objectives.

Military Utility Studies: The awardee shall conduct military utility studies to identify approaches to meet the functional requirements of DE capabilities which address operational viability. The studies shall define requirements, parameters, interface design and controls, system and subsystem trade spaces, and engineering design parameters.

Design: The awardee shall design the DE capability for use in virtual modeling and simulation environments. This includes analysis and design of model components and subsystems. Designs will include all necessary parts of the kill chain necessary to perform the Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, and Assess functions of the kill chain.

Integration: The awardee shall acquire all model parameters necessary to produce the DE capability and associated components. The awardee shall also integrate the DE capability with associated components and scenario environments. Debugging and troubleshooting shall also be part of the integration efforts. Simulation metrics shall be collected to verify and validate the effectiveness of the tested DE capability, system latencies, network performance, and accuracy of models.

User Interface: The awardee shall develop user interfaces that include the capability to produce the model in a virtual environment allowing man-in-the-loop actions to occur.

For the purposes of this acquisition, DEMSAW will utilize MS&A and Wargaming as organized into interdependent Technical Areas, to include:

1. DE concept models, mission level scenario development, simulations, analyses, and military utility assessments.

2. Wargaming and DE concept development.

3. Developing and integrating concepts into a virtual range to determine military utility in a system of systems environment.

4. Integrating software into other users’ environments for successful experimentation and evaluation of DE concepts.
