VISION STATEMENT

In 2036, Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) will continue to be headquartered at Arnold Air Force Base (AFB), TN, with a nationwide footprint that is comprised of multiple geographically separated units (GSUs) that may be expanded during the duration of the TOS II contract. It will have active collaborations with personnel assigned to the Air Force (AF) Research Laboratory, various strategically chosen academic institutions, the AF Life Cycle Management Center, the Test Resource Management Center, and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. Its facilities, business models, and processes will be designed to facilitate those collaborations. It will be widely recognized as both the leader in analysis of aerodynamic and propulsion test data as well as a key developer of technology for ground-test systems.

AEDC operates more than 68 aerodynamic and propulsion wind tunnels, rocket and turbine engine test cells, space environmental chambers, arc heaters, ballistic ranges and other specialized units located in eight states.

Many of the Complex's test units have capabilities unmatched elsewhere in the United States; some are unique in the world. AEDC is one of three installations which are part of the Air Force Test Center (AFTC), one of six subordinate commands of the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) organization and an important national resource.

AEDC Mission: Test and evaluate systems to meet the demands of the National Defense Strategy.

AEDC Vision: Second to none!

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The AFTC’s AEDC is a national aerospace ground and flight test facility that conducts tests, engineering analyses, and technical evaluations for research, system development, and operational programs of the AF and Department of Defense (DoD), other Government agencies, and industry. Using ground and flight test facilities and computational engineering, AEDC supports propulsion, aerodynamic, reentry, trans-atmospheric, and space-flight systems testing. This testing underpins the technical knowledge required for the development and qualification of key warfighter aerospace weapons. Testing is performed in an environment that simulates operational conditions. AEDC also develops new test technology for advanced test facilities, test techniques, and measurement methodologies associated with ground and flight tests.

1.1 MISSION

AEDC exists to test and evaluate weapon, propulsion, aerodynamic and space systems at realistic conditions for the nation through modeling, simulation, and ground and flight test facilities. The mission is essential to developing and fielding weapons systems for the nation's warfighters.

Examples of this activity include gaseous emissions sampling and analysis, exhaust particulate measurements, non-contact Stress Measurement System (NSMS) testing, and multispectral signature data gathering. The off-base testing support requires packing and shipping of equipment, travel for personnel, and operation and maintenance of equipment in a field environment, which the Contractor will provide as required by the Government.

3.1.12. The Contractor shall provide engineering support for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs.

The SBIR program allows for awarding contracts to small business with the intent of developing a new test technique, instrumentation package, modeling and simulation capability, or sustainment activity that would benefit the Government and allow for the commercialization of the product by the small business. These awards are based on proposals on topics that are identified and broadcast by the Government.

The Contractor shall support the Government SBIR Program Manager in identifying candidate topic ideas and supporting transition of SBIR developments into operation. Transition activities include training, operation and maintenance of the product.
