1.8.1.1. Background: Sabreliner, or equivalent, support has been used by the 46 TS during several phases of the Miniature Air-Launched Decoy-Jammer (MALD-J) program. MALD-J is an on-going upgrade program. Support was provided during Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) using two aircraft. Upon completion of DT&E, AFOTEC planned for and used a third Sabreliner or equivalent to support the Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E) program. Three Sabreliners, or equivalent, have supported two MALD-J OT&E deployments to date.

1.8.1.2. Purpose: Provide Sabreliners, or equivalent, equipped with Jammer Demonstration Vehicles or MALD-J ADM-160C vehicles to support MALD-J upgrade testing to include AFOTEC MALD-J Operational Testing at the Eglin AFB test ranges, Nevada Test and Training Range, NV (NTTR), and other locations as deemed necessary.

1.8.1.3. Scope: It is the responsibility of the contractor to attain the appropriate airworthiness certifications for test configurations on his aircraft. This includes any required testing to support the certification, such as electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing, etc. Sabreliner or equivalent support for deployments to NTTR is typically planned for 7 days duration. Equipment installations are required prior to and during the deployment to support airborne and ground test activities. Removal of equipment is required post mission at the test site and at the contractor’s facility after the aircraft returns from the deployment.

1.8.1.4. Missions: Multiple Sabreliner, or equivalent, sorties of up to 3 hours on-range time are typically planned during the deployment, with the same support time if Eglin AFB test range missions are supported. All missions will be conducted within the approved operating envelope of the aircraft. The aircraft will fly at altitudes from 10,000 ft MSL to FL350 carrying the MALD-J.

Airspeeds will vary from 250 kts to 450 kts, as appropriate for the altitude and MALD-J mission being simulated. The flight pattern will be provided by the test engineers on provided run cards. The flight pattern will simulate a MALD-J vehicle in free flight.

1.8.1.5. Period and Place of Performance: MALD-J testing will be conducted periodically for approximately 1-2 weeks at a time, with breaks in between test periods. In the near future, known MALD-J test requirements continue through FY13. Sabreliner or equivalent support will be required at Eglin AFB test ranges and NTTR through 30 Sep 13.

1.8.1.6. Performance Objectives: Plan and execute test mission profiles as planned and provide time, space, position information (TSPI) data for post mission analysis purposes.

1.8.2. Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM). LAIRCM is an on-going, periodic upgrade program. Flight Test Support for the LAIRCM program will be provided with a Sabreliner, or equivalent, King Air, or equivalent, or Beach -18 aircraft, as required for the flight test envelope. The test aircraft will be FAA certified to carry the LAIRCM pod externally with the LAIRCM line replaceable units, and a LAIRCM instrumentation rack inside the aircraft. The aircraft will carry an instrumentation rack operator and at least one government provided flight test engineer.

1.8.2.1. Background. Test support is required for on-going LAIRCM system upgrades. Test missions will be flown on “range” missions at Eglin AFB or other suitable ranges against one or more threat system simulators designed to induce the LAIRCM system to respond as if it were under attack by a threat missile. Test missions will also be flown in general airspace, including approaches to commercial airfields on LAIRCM missile warning system clutter test missions.

1.8.2.2. Purpose. Provide Sabreliner, or equivalent, King Air or equivalent, and/or Beach -18 aircraft, or equivalent, to carry the LAIRCM pod for flight test missions. LAIRCM testing may be conducted periodically for three to six weeks at a time, with breaks in between test periods of many months, possibly a year or two.

1.8.2.3. Scope. It is the responsibility of the contractor to attain the appropriate airworthiness certifications for test configurations on his aircraft. This includes any required testing to support the certification, such as electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing, etc. Test tasking includes:

- Installation of the pod on the aircraft

- Assistance with installation of LAIRCM instrumentation rack

- Ground testing to ensure the LAIRCM system is operating. This requires a clear ramp space of 100 meters from the aircraft. Ground testing may be at the contractor facility or government facilities depending upon the nature of the particular test.

- Any check missions for FAA clearance on carriage of the pod

- Flight test support for range and MWS Clutter missions. Range missions may be up to three hours long depending upon aircraft endurance. MWS Clutter missions may be five to seven hours long including refueling stops.

1.8.2.4. Missions. Examples of LAIRCM missions are:

1.8.2.4.1. Range Missions. The purpose of these missions is to collect data demonstrating the LAIRCM system can deliver the specification power and waveform when installed in the test aircraft flying in operationally representative profiles. Typically these missions are on Eglin test area range C-72 between 1000 and 2000 feet AGL. These missions can take 3 to 4 hours to complete.

1.8.2.4.2. MWS Clutter Missions. The purpose of these missions is to assess the ability of the LAIRCM system using the new LSPR to suppress false alarm sources in the presence of clutter, and to assess the LAIRCM system ability with the new LSPR to suppress false alerts to the aircrew. Typically these missions originate from the Eglin AFB, FL area and are flown below 5,000 feet AGL on an off-range clutter route in the southeastern United States. Instrument or visual approaches may be flown at multiple airports along the route. One effective clutter mission is required for each LAIRCM MWS configuration. These missions can take up to 7.5 hours to complete depending on ground speed and weather.

1.8.2.5. Period and Place of Performance: LAIRCM testing may be conducted periodically for three to six weeks at a time, with breaks in between test periods of many months, possibly years. In the near future, testing of LAIRCM LSPR is planned for Nov 13 at Eglin AFB. Nine range missions and three MWS Clutter missions are planned. There will be three different LAIRCM LRU configurations tested.

1.8.2.6. LAIRCM Performance Objectives. Mission objectives will be provided in the test plan provided by the government.

1.8.3. Thallus Dragon Support. Sabreliner, or equivalent, King Air or equivalent, or Twin Beech aircraft may be employed on this test as determined by the requirements of the test plan.

1.8.3.1. Background. These sorties require aircraft avionics and communications equipment to be modified to emulate specific tactical configurations, while supporting ground test operations. Aircraft are generally required to operate from uncontrolled airfields, such as Field 1 and/or Field 2 on the Eglin range or Bob Sikes Airport. The contractor will provide personnel to assist with aircraft modifications and to certify that final aircraft configurations are airworthy.

1.8.3.2. Purpose. The purpose of the missions is to support ground testing taking place on the range.

1.8.3.3. Scope. It is the responsibility of the contractor to attain the appropriate airworthiness certifications for test configurations on his aircraft. This includes any required testing to support the certification, such as electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing, etc. The missions will generally be flown over the Eglin land ranges between 500 ft and 10,000 ft AGL Multiple sorties, lasting up to two hours may be flown in a single day or sorties may be spread out with one or more no-fly days between sorties. Testing may be daily for periods of up to two or three weeks. The aircraft may carry government provided instrumentation.

1.8.3.4. Missions. The flight test missions are flown in support of ground testing. The aircraft will fly at altitudes generally below 10,000 ft AGL and possibly as low as 500 ft AGL for brief periods. The aircraft will be flown at airspeeds appropriate for the type of test aircraft, varying from 150 to 250 kts.

The flight paths will be provided by the government test team. The aircraft will generally orbit over designated geographical points or fly patterns to designated points. Some mission may require landing and takeoff at Field 1, located within the Eglin R2914A test range. The test aircraft may be required to land at an Eglin AFB auxiliary airfield(s).

1.8.3.5. Period and Place of Performance. Testing generally occurs twice per year. The missions are typically flown over the Eglin AFB land ranges. Each ground test session generally requires between four and eight sorties.

1.8.3.6. Objectives. Mission objectives will be provided in the test plan provided by the government.
