1 SECTION A - DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 ORGANIZATION(S) SUPPORTED

1.1.1 United States Air Force Warfare Center (USAFWC). The USAFWC Detachment 1 (Det 1) located at Schriever Air Force Base (AFB), Colorado (CO), is the centerpiece of Air Combat Command’s (ACC) efforts to fully integrate space into the daily operational Air Force (AF). The center develops new techniques and procedures to apply space-based capabilities to military training, exercises, plans and operations in support of Department of Defense (DoD) front-line warfighters. Key organizations under the USAFWC include: Air Force Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities Division (AF TENCAP); Distributed Mission Operations Center for Space (DMOC-S); the 17th Test Squadron (17 TS); and the USAFWC Mission Support.

1.2 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

1.2.1 The primary work place for the effort will be the Government designated facilities (Building 24) at Schriever AFB CO and geographically separated units (GSUs) at the following locations:

1.2.1.1 17 TS/Det 4, OL-A, Patrick AFB, Florida (FL)

1.2.1.2 17 TS/Det 4, Vandenberg AFB, California (CA)

1.2.1.3 17 TS/Det 2, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (AFS), CO

All travel will be at the direction of the Government and reimbursed/accounted for as part of the other direct costs (ODC) contract line item number (CLIN) (see paragraph 1.5.6). Approximately 400 days of OCONUS travel is required.

1.3 MISSION

1.3.1 Air Force Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (AF TENCAP) Schriever AFB, Colorado

1.3.1.1 AF TENCAP is a congressionally mandated program which increases warfighter effectiveness through the exploitation of national capabilities and promotes cross-domain integration of these capabilities into military operations/training, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) activities. AF TENCAP exploits existing air, space, cyber, national and global ISR and non-traditional ISR (NTISR) systems for operational and tactical applications through rapid prototyping and capability demonstration. These projects are intended to transition to warfighters and/or national intelligence agencies for operational use and appropriate acquisition programs of record (PoR) for further development. AF TENCAP projects can influence the design and operation of future air, space, cyber, national and global ISR and NTISR while providing awareness to warfighters and national intelligence agency organizations and units. AF TENCAP supports the AF and joint warfighter through the following mission areas:

1.3.1.2 Support to special application/special access programs (SAP) and the development of projects/programs that involve access to one or more special access required (SAR) and SAP areas of interest. This requires cooperation and collaboration with the SAP/SAR DoD communities and similar Director of National Intelligence (DNI) programs that require enhanced combat and intelligence capabilities.

1.3.1.3 Support to special operations forces (SOF). Direct engagement with SOF is required to obtain “street level” warfighter requirements and those requirements that can be met leveraging national capabilities.

1.3.1.4 Support to the tactical warfighter. Leverage existing and emerging national and tactical systems by effectively exploiting and integrating space, national, global ISR, and NTISR assets to provide support to combatant commands and forward deployed tactical warfighters (e.g., Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), United States (US) Air Force Europe (USAFE), US Central Commander Air Forces (CENTAF), Air Force Southern (AFSOUTH) across all domains.

1.3.1.5 Support to the national warfighter. Leverage existing and emerging national and tactical systems by effectively exploiting and integrating space, national, global ISR, and NTISR assets to provide CONUS based (Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), 24th Air Force (24AF) air forces and national intelligence agencies increase situational awareness across all domains.

1.3.1.6 AF representative for the National Reconnaissance Office Military Exploitation of Reconnaissance and Intelligence Technology (NRO MERIT) program, sponsoring new projects that enhance tactical warfighting capabilities by leveraging national capabilities.

1.3.2 Distributed Mission Operations Center for Space (DMOC-S) Schriever AFB, CO

1.3.2.1 Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) is a Chief of Staff of the AF (CSAF) directed readiness initiative to train warfighters as they expect to fight; maintain combat readiness; conduct mission rehearsal in an environment as operationally realistic as necessary; and provide support to operations. DMO integrates live, virtual and constructive systems to immerse the warfighter in realistic operational environments. The DMO-Space Domain will link training for space forces by providing inputs for end-user training and exercises. Distributed Mission Operations-Space (DMO-S) will exercise the space operations training continuum beginning with the console operator at an AFSPC unit and ending with the warfighter in theater. The DMOC-S is the focal point for the integration of space capabilities into AF and joint-level advanced training, exercises and mission rehearsal events for AFSPC weapon systems. The DMO-S architecture provides space systems operators with the capability to train and exercise in a simulated and a representative combat environment. Through the DMOC-S AFSPC will be able to accomplish fully integrated advanced training, space command and control (C2) and direct and integrated support to the warfighter.

1.3.2.2 The DMOC-S is responsible for exercise planning and execution in support of AFSPC, ACC and combatant commanders worldwide. The DMOC-S provides state of the art modeling and simulation (M&S) tools and capabilities supporting individual unit training, operational Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) and Air Operation Center (AOC) training and combatant commander (CCDR) staff training. The DMOC-S provides representative space capabilities to other services through distributed architectures, representative M&S tools and subject matter expertise. In addition, the DMOC-S provides development, operations/planning, and sustainment efforts of exercises, demonstrations, tests, special event assessments, and real-world contingency operations of innovative space capabilities. Finally, the DMOC-S leads the development and integration of innovative, emerging, technologies, concepts and space M&S tools and space crew mission simulators utilizing interoperable joint and service architectures to enhance space operator advanced training and to enable military personnel to participate in DMO events.

1.3.3 17th Test Squadron (17 TS) Schriever AFB, Colorado

1.3.3.1 The 17 TS, Schriever AFB, CO; Det 2, Cheyenne Mountain AFS, CO; Det 4, Patrick AFB, FL and Vandenberg AFB, CA; and the 14th Test Squadron (14 TS), Schriever AFB, CO perform all aspects of test screening, test planning, test execution, test analysis, test reporting and test closeout. The 17 TS conducts force development evaluations (FDEs), operational utility evaluations (OUEs), operational assessments (OAs), early operational assessments (EOAs), weapons system evaluation programs (WESPs), sufficiency of operational test reviews (SOTRs), capabilities & limitations reports (C&LRs), command-directed testing, and tactics development and evaluations (TD&Es) of space forces mainly in support of Headquarters (HQ) AFSPC and to a much lesser extent, ACC directed space-related operational testing.

1.3.3.2 The 17 TS seeks to enhance the military utility of space power through the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) of space systems. The 17 TS determines the operational capabilities and limitations of space systems as they relate to enhancing warfighting operations.

1.3.3.3 The 17 TS provides operational effectiveness and suitability evaluations from the initial employment of operational systems, through evolutionary tactics development and sustainment upgrades. The 17 TS will maximize test efficiency through integrated test efforts.

1.3.3.4 The 17 TS core competencies are operational system expertise, test and evaluation proficiency, statistical, analytical expertise, and test support capabilities. The 17 TS also depends on extensive teaming with operators and weapon system leads to produce the best possible test product for senior decision makers.
