About this file

The file is a PowerPoint mission summary for the Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility (GWEF), a comprehensive testing facility with 13 major test areas covering advanced weapon systems sensor technologies. The GWEF specializes in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulation capabilities across multiple spectra including global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), radio frequency (RF), millimeter wave (MMW), visible/electro-optical (VIS/EO), infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), laser, directed energy (DE), and net-enabled weapons.

The related federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number FA2486-25-X-0001) seeks Enhanced White Papers for prototype technologies to improve HITL testing capabilities in four specific technology areas: (1) multispectral scene generation with high-resolution dynamic imagery, (2) midcourse and navigation environment emulation, (3) datalink and radio communication emulation, and (4) high frame rate real-time simulation execution. The solicitation is issued by the Air Force Test Center's 96th Test Wing and 782d Test Squadron, targeting Other Transactions for Prototype under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with a focus on advanced navigation and guidance sensor technologies for weapon systems performance assessment and risk mitigation.
