FA7037-23-R-0002

57 Intelligence Squadron

Sensor Beam 2024 Mission Proficiency Evaluation

The 57 IS mission is heavily involved in radar capabilities and theory, generation of mission planning threat files, and maintenance of the Combat Support Data Base (CSDB), as well as data and models for the United States Electromagnetic Systems (USELMS) database supporting Electronic Warfare reprogramming for accurate threat identification. The following questions are designed to assess your team's ability to satisfy the 57 IS mission requirement.

In a separate document, please select the best answer or provide a short answer as necessary.

You're also welcome to include notes or additional comments as needed. The US Government will review your responses in addition to your corporation's capabilities to meet 57 IS mission requirements. Again, thank you for your interest and good luck!
