Notice: All terms of the Joint All-Domain Transformational Model II apply unless specifically addressed in this Call. The BAA is available in SAM.gov.

2.1 Program Description:

The Air Force Research Laboratory, RHW is soliciting technical and cost proposals on the following research effort:

The Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) Campaign Plan 2030 defines decision advantage as the ability to consistently make better, timelier decisions than the adversary. Current DAF command and control (C2) systems and processes are optimized for low intensity conflict and do not address decision advantage over the pacing challenge. Deriving effective C2 capability development toward decision advantage requires a clear understanding of what C2 decisions are. The DAF Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Cross Functional

Team (CFT) provides a quantitative model for the Joint Warfighting Function of C2 as the

Command, Plan, and Battle Management decision domains, supported by and integrated with

Battle Analysis (military intelligence and surveillance). Each of these decision domains are decomposed in the Transformational Model for Decision Advantage (TM-DA) using model-based systems engineering to bridge the gap between operational concepts and software design.

2.2 Communication Between Prospective Offerors and Government Representatives:

Please direct all questions to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist listed in paragraph

1.0.
