USSPACECOM FICTIONAL INTELLIGENCE 2025

Performance Work Statement

1.0 GENERAL

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) supports an initiative directly commissioned by the

United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) Commander, to train and coach

USSPACECOM leadership on how to fuse the process and rigor of nonfiction research and analysis with compelling communication techniques. This training conference will provide new and innovative techniques to elevate and align the USSPACECOM Strategic Vision and messaging.

The objective is to train USSPACECOM leadership in conducting comprehensive research and education on subjects related to our overarching corporate enterprise, thereby fostering research and analysis (R&A), service and outreach (S&O), and promoting education through the delivery of materials for teaching and learning (T&L). This will be achieved through the expanded application of Fictional Intelligence (FICINT), a strategic tool for crafting narratives and storytelling to simplify and illustrate complex or abstract concepts.

2.0 SCOPE

The Contractor will be required to provide subject matter experts (SMEs) and professional-quality training on fictional intelligence communications techniques related to strategic messaging on USSPACECOM’s Strategic Vision. The Contractor will provide consultation, ideation, concept development, iterative product feedback, and will conduct a one-day workshop with USSPACECOM leadership, as designated by the USSPACECOM Commander, to enhance communication skills and themes, honing participants’ abilities to develop compelling narratives and engaging stories.

The Contractor shall provide a professional-quality fictional intelligence narrative, incorporating the USSPACECOM Commander’s Strategic Vision to facilitate a one-day workshop. This will include development of vignettes, scenarios, discussion points, and other academic means to educate USSPACECOM leadership on skills and strategies for strategic thinking and messaging.

The four priority objectives of the Strategic Vision to be focused on are: Prepare and posture;

Counter threats; Strengthen relationships; and Expand a warfighting advantage.

By the end of this session, participants should be equipped with practical skills and strategies to create engaging, compelling narratives for USSPACECOM strategic messaging efforts. They should be able to apply the art and science of storytelling to effectively communicate complex ideas and strategies, thus increasing the impact and reach of the Strategic Vision. Agenda and products for the workshop will be sent to the USSPACECOM CAG NLT five (5) business days before execution for review.
