About this file

This document package outlines requirements for the operation and maintenance of the Draughon Bombing and Electronic Attack Range located at Misawa Air Base in Japan. Services required include management of test and training systems such as TENA, ADSI, Link 16, MIDS, ARES, NGTS, BOSS, and electronic warfare threat emitters. The incumbent contractor is expected to operate and maintain associated hardware, software, and network infrastructure to support live training exercises for aircraft from Misawa AB and other US and Japanese bases. The Air Force is conducting market research to inform the acquisition strategy for the future contract to provide these range support services. Responses to the RFI will be considered non-binding for planning purposes only, with no reimbursement for associated costs.

O&M of Draughon Bombing and Electronic Attack Range

PWS APPENDIX 8

SPECFIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. TENA – Test & Training Enabling Architecture

a. Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) is an architecture designed to bring interoperability to United States Department of Defense test and training systems. TENA is designed to promote integrated testing and simulation-based acquisition through the use of a large-scale, distributed, real-time synthetic environment, which integrates testing, training, simulation, and high-performance computing technologies, distributed across many facilities, using a common architecture

b. The software is provided freely for the purpose of promoting interoperability among

United States Department of Defense systems.

2. Air Defense Systems Integrator (ADSI)

a. ADSI is a feed from Yokota AB that is maintained by their link.

b. DBEAR team cooperatively work with associated contractors to maintain connection including operating the software as necessary.

3. LINK-16

a. Link 16 is a military tactical data link network used by NATO and nations allowed by the

MIDS International Program Office. Its specification is part of the family of Tactical Data

Links. With Link 16, military aircraft as well as ships and ground forces may exchange their tactical picture in near-real time. Link 16 also supports the exchange of text messages, imagery data and provides two channels of digital voice. Link 16 is defined as one of the digital services of the JTIDS / MIDS in NATO's

b. Commonly used is most military Aircraft

4. Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS)

a. MIDS is an advanced command, control, communications, computing and intelligence

(C4I) system incorporating high-capacity, jam-resistant, digital communication links for exchange of near real-time tactical information, including both data and voice, among air, ground, and sea elements. MIDS is intended to support key theater functions such as surveillance, identification, air control, weapons engagement coordination and direction for all Services

b. LVT-2 & 6

c. Jointly interoperates with the ADSI and LINK 16

d. Contains COMSEC keys

5. Adaptable Range Exercise System (ARES)

DRAFT

a. An interface to pair Aircraft to Threat emitters

6. Next Generation Threat System (NGTS)

a. NGTS is a synthetic environment generator that models threat and friendly aircraft, ground units, ships and submarines, associated weapons, sensors and subsystems.

b. Government owned and developed for training and test.

7. Battlefield Operations Support System (BOSS)

a. The BOSS creates and runs detailed test scenarios that exhibit the same data link behavior as an actual, live data link network using virtual tactical elements. It generates realistic tactical data link message traffic to simulate complete multi-link tactical scenario to the system under test. The BOSS can accurately recreate the multi-TADIL network traffic representing a wide variety of C2 sensor platforms. Functions are provided for surveillance, command and control, and EW activities and users can define multiple discrete test cases that may be assembled to create complex scenarios.

b. BOSS is produced by Tactical Communication Group LLC

8. LEXIOS

a. An interface to build a TENA interface and DMON portal

b. Developed by Northrup Grumman

9. Distributed Mission Operations Network (DMON)

a. Operated and Maintained by Northrup Grumman. DBEAR will connect and disconnect to

DMON system utilizing its scheduling parameters.

b. High-Performance WAN: The network infrastructure for the DMON was designed from the outset to provide high-bandwidth, low-latency, high-quality connectivity for the MTCs listed on the CAF DMO roadmap. Because the network does not exist to provide general connectivity or persistent data sharing services, it has been optimized for its role in supporting interteam training through distributed simulation and brief-debrief activities.

Constant monitoring and metrics are used to ensure that the network is available and operating efficiently in providing this solitary function.

10. Range Training Officer (RTO) Radios

a. Air to Ground and Ground to Air UHF and VHF radios communication between operator and Aircraft.

b. Developed by Orion

11. AN/TPT-T1: UMTE - Unmanned Threat Emitter

a. The UMTE (designator AN/TPT-T1) is a remote controlled electronic device capable of emitting signals that simulate threat radars such as surface-to-air missile systems, antiaircraft artillery radars, and missile command guidance signals. With the use of the UMTEs, combat aircrews are able to receive realistic training against surface-to-air defenses and practice tactics and countermeasures used to train pilots to survive a battlefield air interdiction scenario against modern threats.

b. The UMTE system, using remotely controlled emitters, provides a replication of the actual threat that will be seen by aircrews approaching and crossing into enemy airspace. The

UMTE emitters will simulate threat signals.

c. The UMTE emitters will simulate threat signals. The system contains an Operator Control

Group (OCG) and one or more Remote Emitters (REs). The OCG provides a centralized command and control interface for the UMTE system, supporting automatic and/or manual

RE control and situational display. Data and video is broadcasted to several locations allowing a subjective evaluation of aircrew training mission and debriefing purposes.

12. AN/TSQ-T34 (JTE)

a. The Joint Threat Emitter (designator AN/TSQ-T34) is designed to train aircrews to survive in a combat environment against Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) and Air Defense

Artillery (ADA) threats. The JTE simulates a range of threat signals, in multiple emitter kits, which interact with the aircraft radar warning receiver and electronic countermeasure system to provide realistic EW training environments for aircrew.

b. A AN/TSQ-T34 is refered to as an Joint Threat Emmitter (JTE) and is an one man remotely operated system. The JTE is a field simulator that allows aircrews to experience simulated SAM and AAA threats. The JTE system enhance aircrew training and support assessment of Electronic Warfare (EW) equipment readiness by providing post mission feedback from recorded events The system consist of a Command and Control Unit, a Threat

Emmitter Unit, and a Remote Power Unit. Data and video is broadcasted to several locations allowing a subjective evaluation of aircrew training mission and debriefing purposes.
