About this file
This solicitation announcement calls for proposals to support the Directed Energy Modeling, Simulation, Analysis, and Wargaming (DEMSAW) program. The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks to develop a virtual range and mission-level models to assess the military utility of directed energy concepts through modeling, simulation, analyses, and wargaming. Offerors should provide capabilities in directed energy concept development, scenario modeling within the Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration and Modeling, and integration of models to determine utility in system-of-systems experiments. Proposals are due by the date specified in Section VII of the announcement. The work will be performed at Kirtland Air Force Base for the Air Force Research Laboratory under a 10 U.S.C. 2373 arrangement.

DEMSAW CALL 0007: Questions and Answers #1, dated 15 December 2021
1. Will the DEMSAW contractor be responsible for identifying and purchasing hardware servers and networks to set up and operate the virtual range?
a. Identifying requirements, but not purchase of equipment.
2. What is implied by “DE Concept Development” in the second Technical Area, Wargaming and DE Concept Development?
a. Identifying DE concepts and providing details to those concepts that RDMW will submit to play in applicable wargames.
3. How many separate entities are expected to be simulated in the virtual range simultaneously?
a. May range between dozens to thousands. This will be dependent on the study/virtual event being conducted.
4. Advanced Concept Experiments (ACE) are referenced in the SOO, how many are expected per year?
a. At this time no ACE events are planned; however, in the past RDMW conducted an ACE every two years.
5. Please provide the DD 254 Continuation sheet. Continuation sheet will be amended to announcement.
6. We expect that there will need to be day-to-day operations and sustainment support of physical lab space, systems, and networks for virtual range environments and wargaming support. Is providing such support desired/expected as part of meeting DEMSAW objectives or should it be assumed as provided through other avenues?
a. This will be provided through other avenues.
7. Call 0007 asks for submission by requesting a DoD SAFE link, however the Basic DETER listing specifies a different delivery method.
a. Please follow the instructions within Section VII. Proposal, specifically Subsection C. Submission Process and Format Requirements of Call 0007 as it is considered its own standalone announcement, despite the overall arching Basic
DETER ARA.
