Conduct urgent OSD-directed analyses in support of Deterrence and Strike Division (AFSPC/DRM) for the Common Vertical Lift Support Platform (CVLSP) UH-1N helicopter replacement program. Specifically, the contractor will perform Air Force vertical lift analysis and provide functional expertise in support of the CVLSP analysis of alternatives (AoA) providing sufficient initial results to update the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) in Dec 05 and provide staffed results by Mar 06. The contractor will document analysis and provide advisory and assistance services to develop presentations and staff AoA results. The normal timeline for an AoA is approximately 18 months; however, the JROC has directed AFSPC to accelerate this analysis in order to provide decision for an AF HELO way ahead and keep open the option of joining with (leveraging) the AF Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Combat Search and Rescue program CSAR-X. Study results must be staffed back to the JROC and be presented in concert with the AFSPC and AMC annexes to the CSAR-X capabilities development document (CDD). Leadership decision support to include quick turn analysis to answer specific JROC and senior leader questions are anticipated. In order to meet timelines and provide necessary rigor within available resources, expertise with, and ability to capitalize upon, previous Air Force vertical lift analyses as it relates to the current Air Force HELO way ahead, CVLSP initiative, Air Force Common Helicopter effort, and related programs and missions is imperative. These related programs and missions are: AFSOC CSAR-X (HH-60G HELO Replacement), Air Mobility Command’s (AMC) National Capital Region (NCR) mission, AFSPC Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) and Space Launch Security/Support mission, commercial off the shelf plus (COTS+) alternative vertical lift solutions, and the vertical lift missions of PACAF, AETC, and AFMC. Contractor shall provide specialized technical support to AFSPC/XPYA and DRM on the CVLSP AoA to include vertical lift modeling & simulation, analysis, costing, subject matter expertise, operational expertise, evaluation of COTS+ alternative solutions, and documentation staffing.
