5.0 Requirements: The contractor shall:

5.1 Provide sUAS mobile training team services for Sentry North exercises and the necessary labor, instruction, materials, supplies, and equipment as indicated below to perform the following tasks.

5.2 sUAS mobile training team services will integrate into the daily Air Force Special Warfare (AFSW) mission schedule and attend daily AFSW synchronization meetings to accurately capture changes for the following day (e.g., duration of operation, expected role for Blue and Red sUAS teams, and so forth). The sUAS mobile training team will conduct any FAA drone coordination required and provide sUAS flight information to the Sentry North exercise staff as requested.

The sUAS mobile training team will serve as the primary sUAS White Cell Leads (WCL) during the exercise.

5.3 sUAS mobile training team will use the established scenario to meet the desired learning objectives (DLO). They will manage scenario injects, respond to requests for information or forces, and provide tactical input during mission planning to support AFSW mission success. They will also create a written product containing white force data (e.g., actual route, timing, timestamps, and significant event data) and deliver it to users during the debrief. The sUAS mobile training team representative responsible for White Force in AFSW operations will meet with unit instructors, weapons officers, and other relevant personnel the day prior to review the scenario and DLOs, ensuring the team fulfills their requirements and expectations.

5.4 Facilitate & execute Large Force Exercises (LFE) using White Cell and Red Cell control, including initiating and managing real-time scenario injects mid-event (in concert with real-time chatsurfer/mIRC, AFSW specific lines of communication, and direct AFSW White Cell Lead injects) and ensuring events are executed within the timeline allotted.

5.5 Prepare and present Blue and Red sUAS analysis and lessons learned to all AFSW members at the completion of the exercise for input into the overall exercise lessons learned.

5.6 Provide sUAS SME support, with an emphasis on AFSW operators, to manage the coordination, planning, and integration of sUAS into multiple weapons systems from across the joint force within the exercise range space.

5.7 Integrate threat based realistic sUAS capabilities into AFSW operations to enhance Find, Fix, Track, and Assess operations, and incorporate Red Force sUAS to challenge AFSW teams by simulating adversarial threats and prepare post-mission data reports detailing instances where teams were detected and identified by Red Force sUAS, including methods of detection.
