Program Description: The objective of the Spectrum Warfare Assessment Technologies (SWAT) Program is to conduct leading-edge system of systems spectrum warfare applications/advanced technology development. Research will be conducted utilizing a multispectral synthetic battlespace simulation to integrate sensor/EW technologies, identify/resolve technology issues/risks, demonstrate technology applications/benefits and perform rapid technology insertions/transitions.

The SWAT program will facilitate demonstrations and verify value of new spectrum warfare technologies. The objectives include assessing methodologies and simulations for external Department of Defense (DoD) procurement activities related to electronic warfare skill sets. The work will develop and integrate assessment protocols and instrumentation, augmenting agency developmental testing goals in the areas of electronic warfare technology.

General OPSEC procedures, policies and awareness will be required in an effort to reduce program vulnerability from successful adversary collection and exploitation of critical information. OPSEC will be applied throughout the lifecycle of any potential contract. The Critical Information List will be provided upon request by the RYOY Information Protection Office. While working on the government installation OPSEC will be provided by the “RYOY Information Protection Office".

The contractor shall be required to deliver all hardware, software, and associated data developed and utilized in the development of any resulting contract.
