1.2. Background:

1.2.1. HQ AF Global Strike Command (AFGSC) functions as an “organize, train, and equip” command for assigned AF units. AFGSC is responsible for conducting the Mission Area Assessment process to ensure subordinate units’ ability to accomplish the AF missions in specific Mission Areas. Further, AFGSC develops policy for ICBM and helicopter operations, to include developing tactics, techniques, and procedures. Finally, AFGSC, through subordinate and associated organizations, executes the operational test programs to ensure the weapon system meets warfighter requirements. To meet these responsibilities, HQ AFGSC requires extensive ICBM weapon system and helicopter expertise.

2.1. Scope:

2.1.1. Obtain, provide, manage and apply systems and specialty engineering resources to meet HQ AFGSC policy, procedural, and test responsibilities for the ICBM and helicopter weapon systems assigned to AFGSC units. Helicopter operations are integral to missile field activities and are a crucial enabler for safe, secure, and effective missile wing success.

2.1.2. Support and participate in technical interchange meetings, program status and design reviews, program audits, progress report meetings and other meetings having significant technical content.

2.1.3. Support and participate in AF meetings and briefings with other DoD and outside agencies. AFGSC requires support in planning, analyses, trade studies, problem resolution and associated systems engineering in order to meet mission needs as specified in Air Force instructions and Joint/DoD directives. The Command also employs required support in tasks necessary to develop, produce, deploy, operate, secure, test, and evaluate ICBMs and helicopters.

They also employ required support necessary to: ensure effective/reliable command, control and communications, assess basing modes, reentry and launch vehicle systems, and potential capabilities/ramifications of technology insertion. These functions apply to all SES contracted efforts.

3.0. Objective:

3.1. The objective of this task is to obtain contractor System Engineering Support (SES). SES tasks include planning, analyses, trade studies, problem resolution and associated systems engineering support tasks necessary to develop, produce, deploy, operate, maintain security, and test and evaluate ICBM and helicopter command control and communications, technology and basing, as well as ICBM reentry and launch vehicle systems.
