The 96 CTG is the lead Air Force (AF) organization for directing Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR)/Cyber System Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and has the mission for the planning and execution of DT&E for C4ISR/Cyber Systems. The 96 CTG is comprised of three Test Squadron’s: the 45th, 46th and 47th, with additional support provided under the Support Division.
The 96 CTG executes DT&E enabling the warfighter to put weapons on target in all battlespace media. The 96 CTG tests all C4ISR/Cyber systems in a representative battle-space throughout the full operational envelope and provides world class training capability to warfighters with unquestioned results. Systems are part of the kill-chain and range from reconnaissance-surveillance systems to information management systems to aircraft mission planning systems.
The 96 CTG also supports technical concept demonstrations and experiments, joint warfighter training and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) activities. 96 CTG is located at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), FL; Performance will take place at various locations on Beale AFB, CA;

1.2 Scope.
The scope of this TO is to provide any A&AS services to any present or future AFTC unit (or any successor to AFTC) and to non-AFTC organizations (or their successors) identified in the task order solicitation Cyberspace A&AS support is needed to support the Research, Development, Test & Engineering (RDT&E) efforts as part of the acquisition life cycle process.
The acquisition life cycle process encompasses all development from initial solution analyses, early stages of scientific research, DT&E and OT&E to the fielding of final products to include sustainment efforts. The predominance of Cyberspace TO support is needed to accomplish DT&E and OT&E of systems before the product becomes finalized and fielded. This includes items in the sustainment phase of the acquisition life cycle that are being upgraded. Customers rely on data, final test reports, and deficiency reports (DRs) resulting from C4ISR/Cyber testing in order to make decisions to continue RDT&E or field the item.
Systems requiring C4ISR/Cyber RDT&E support are part of the Full Battlespace Arena (Figure 1). Every system in the Battlespace Arena ultimately transfers or provides information to/from airborne, space or cyberspace systems in order to provide best overall situation awareness and ability to reach a target. This starts with an aircraft finding/fixing/targeting, tracking, engaging, and assessing a target based on information from support aircraft, satellites, ground support troops, and systems and AOCs. Additional information is provided from Datalink Systems and Air Tasking Orders (ATOs) through Theater Battle Management Control Centers, Mission Planning Systems, Information Weather Systems, Information and Global Broadcast Systems, and many others. Testing of and between each particular element of the arena ensures aircraft receive and transfer complete and accurate information in the Battlespace and to ultimately alleviate surprises to the warfighter and aircraft. The work provided through the A&AS support directly impacts the integral components of new processes and products supporting the R&D of C4ISR/Cyber.
