1. Is there currently an incumbent providing these services? If so, can you provide the name of the firm?

No, this is a new acquisition for FAFB.

No, the Air Force is seeking a new system.

3. Can the government confirm the proposed solution is intended to assess and measure pilots entering SERE specialist training? If not, who is the intended audience?

The solution will assess upgrade students who are training to be SERE instructors.

4. How does the Air Force expect the system to collect information? Will instructors manually input assessments or training results?

The instructors will manually upload the results. The system must also accommodate the entry of prior collected data.

5. Can the government elaborate upon expectations for “development modeling”?

The program will output an optimized course of action to ensure student success.

6. Will the software be used to measure trainee aptitude before undergoing SERE Specialist Screening (SSS) Course or prior to Basic Military Training?
