DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT C. Distribution authorized to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors. Other requests for this document shall be referred to AFCENT/A7, Shaw AFB.

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 This requirement is for a non-personal services type contract. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

2.1 The Contractor shall deliver, assemble, build, and fabricate a fully functional artificially intelligent (AI) enabled monitoring system for specific site(s) located in US Central Command (USCENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR) using real-time digital twins with computer vision and IoT sensors. Workspaces are comprised of designated areas with Other Country

Nationals (OCNs) working on the site which requires 24/7 monitoring. The Contractor shall provide enhanced monitoring and automated alerting -to include reporting anomalous behavior concerning the OCNs.

2.2: Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF): This acquisition will benefit the United States

Air Force by augmenting the departments Force Protection mission regarding OCN movement and oversight at site(s) across Al Udeid AFB, Qatar and other USCENTCOM forward locations.

2.3 Background: Force Protection personnel deployed across the AOR are responsible for watching OCNs work on various projects. This Artificial Intelligence system would replace the need for in-person monitoring and reduce up to 75% of those billets, enabling USAF resources and Force Protection assets to be employed against higher priorities.

3.0 SCOPE

Create notification/observation system for Air Force

Create standalone network which provides focused “zones” of enhanced monitoring for Air Force personnel.

Coordinate with local Civil Engineer Squadron to place network computer(s).

Add features to camera network such as: automated alerts, digital twin of the site(s), AI predictive monitoring, and ability for global monitoring all to detect/track the OCNs pattern of behavior in and around the designated/approved site.

Incorporate integrated automation -by layering in artificial intelligence- to address safety and/or security concerns as required.
