About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for the Assessment of Sensing-Autonomy Sensor Exploitation Technologies (ASSET) solicitation. The Air Force is seeking a single contractor for a $95M contract, which is a follow-on to the previous MEAMS contract. The solicitation allows for technical proposals with single-spaced tables, attachments for prior work, equipment descriptions, and resumes that do not count toward the 30-page technical proposal limit. Respondents will not be penalized for leaving non-required fields blank, such as LinkedIn profiles.
Key technical details include that the project supports in-house contractors with R&D focused at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and the contractor's facility. The government will provide access to the current development environment and computing resources. Work can be performed onsite at a government SCIF, contractor SCIF, or a combination of both. The project aims to develop comprehensive tools for modeling, analyzing, and predicting mission-level effects across air, ground, space, and cyber domains, with a focus on multi-domain sensing autonomy for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Strike, and Electronic Warfare (EW) applications.

These documents are not included in the 30-page count. |
| Please confirm tables may be single spaced within the Technical/Management Proposal. | Tables may be single spaced within the Technical/Management proposal. |
| Please confirm Resumes are included as an attachment and not included in the 30-page "discussion of the nature and scope of the research and the technical approach." | Yes - confirming. Resumes are not included in the 30-page count. |
| Will submitters be penalized for leaving blank any item "not required" - in particular the LinkedIn Profile? Many professional mimimize social media use or do not maintain accounts/profiles due project work sensitivity/classification/clearance. | Submitters will NOT be penalized for leaving any item "not required" blank.

| Questions | PE Response |
| Also, does MEAMS support in-house contractors or is it focused on R&D at the contractor’s facility? | Yes, MEAMS does support in-house contractors. R&D is the focus at both WPAFB and the contractor’s facility. ASSET will also support in-house contractors with the R&D focused at both WPAFB and the contractor’s facility. The support provided will depend on the nature of the work being performed. |
| Will AFRL provide the winning team with a development environment and computing resources or does each team need to provide their own? | The government will provide access to the current development environment along with the computing resources. |
| We have been unable to determine if there was an Industry Day that accompanied this solicitation. Was an Industry Day held and, if so, will any of the artifacts (slides, Q&A, attendee list) be made available? If not, will there be one, if even virtual? | We did not hold a specific Industry Day for this solicitation, although some of the work under this solicitation was discussed during the Industry Day for MAINSAIL/ATOMATA. |
| Is there a requirement for the work on ASSET to be performed onsite at a government SCIF, offsite at a contractor SCIF, or at a combination of the two? | The work on ASSET can be performed onsite at a government SCIF, offsite at a contractor SCIF, or a combination of the two. |
| Can you provide any material or a list of the specific modeling tools you are currently using in the COMPASE lab? | We do not have an exhaustive list to share as the COMPASE Lab uses a variety of modeling and simulation tools, choosing the tool that best meets the needs of the specific research domain and problem for each individual research effort. When choosing a tool, we consider factors like the type of model needed, computational resources used, cost to access, ability to integrate with other tools, and validation and verification capabilities. Some examples of tools used in past COMPASE Lab research efforts are MATLAB, Python, and AFSIM. |
