1.0 PURPOSE & OPERATIONAL BACKGROUND

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this prototype project is to demonstrate and evaluate a rapidly deployable and reconfigurable permanent facility technology capable of supporting Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) operational requirements within a compressed 9 to 12-month prototype period.

1.2 Operational Background

Under the Agile Combat Employment (ACE) operational scheme of maneuver, the Department of the Air Force (DAF) requires rapidly deployable, austere-capable infrastructure across the First and Second Island Chains. Conventional permanent Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMBs) require lengthy construction timelines (24–36 months), massive concrete civil works, and are non-relocatable once erected. Conversely, commercial expeditionary tents lack the structural rigidity, wind resistance, and atmospheric sealing necessary to withstand typhoons and extreme marine salt-fog corrosion, frequently causing rapid deterioration of Prepositioned War Reserve Materiel (WRM) and weapon systems.

This prototype effort evaluates whether modern rapid-manufacturing structural systems can bridge this gap by combining the structural permanence, environmental durability, and building-system integration of a permanent facility with the erection velocity, and modular adaptability of an expeditionary shelter.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK & DEMONSTRATION BOUNDARIES

2.1 Demonstration Scope

The Participant shall design, engineer, fabricate, stage, transport, erect, commission, operationally demonstrate, and evaluate a prototype facility system in a representative Pacific littoral environment.

The demonstration shall assess:

1. Rapid manufacturing, non-corroding structural framework systems.

2. Pacific-adapted exterior architectural envelope and roof assemblies.

3. Modular, rapidly coupled utility and building service interfaces.

4. Flexible interior layouts supporting logistics, maintenance, or storage operations.

5. Optimized multi-modal transportation packaging and erection sequences.

6. Component-level lifecycle tracking, degradation analysis, and maintainability logging.

7. Post-erection operational reconfiguration and representative-component relocation.

2.2 Prototype Boundary & Feasibility Constraints

The purpose of the demonstration is to prove the feaibility, within a 9 to 12-month prototype period, to design, manufacture, transport, erect, and operationalize an entire full-scale permanent facility in the PACAF theater. Therefore, this prototype establishes a tiered demonstration threshold:

• Primary Demonstration: Full turnkey assembly, subsystem integration, operational demonstration, and environmental stress testing of the complete facility structure at the designated primary testbed site.

• Maintainability Demonstration: Lifecycle tracking, degradation analysis, and maintainability logging using a standardized methodology for condition assessment.

3.0 REQUIRED PROTOTYPE OUTCOMES & OBJECTIVES

The Participant’s proposed solution shall deliver verifiable operational data across eleven (11) core prototype outcome areas:
