About this file
This Statement of Objectives (SOO) details a requirement for Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) support services for a specific test mission involving the FLM-136 platform. The primary objectives are to provide technical and operational support for a test mission, support first flights, and concurrently provide requalification training for SUAS operators in compliance with Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 11-502 requirements. The mission specifically addresses the need to maintain operator currency for group 3 SUAS, which mandates flights every 45 days.
The deliverables include comprehensive mission support such as pre-flight preparation, execution, post-flight analysis, hands-on flight instruction, operator certification documentation, and technical support throughout the mission. Spektreworks, as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of both the SUAS platform and support equipment, will provide the required expertise. The period of performance is 30 days from the contract award date, with the last test mission for this platform having occurred in late May 2025. The unique challenge is the FLM-136 SUAS platform's lack of landing gear, which guarantees potential damage on each landing, necessitating careful mission planning and operator training.

Statement of Objectives (SOO)
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this requirement is to procure Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) support services for a specific test mission, which includes flight support services and currency training for the FLM-136 platform and associated launcher system. This dual-purpose engagement will enable successful execution of the test mission while simultaneously ensuring compliance with Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 11-502) requirements for SUAS operator currency.
2. BACKGROUND
AFMAN 11-502 mandates that SUAS operators maintain regular flight currency on their specific platforms. For group 3 SUAS, this requires flights to occur every 45 days. The FLM-136 SUAS is a target platform that does not having landing gear, so each flight carries a guarantee of damage on landing. Rather than damage a customer's assets, RNRD has a need to re-accomplish currency certification training should the mission tempo extend pass 45 days between flights.
Our last test mission utilizing the FLM-136 occurred in late May 2025, so currency has lapsed.
Accomplishing currency certification in conjunction with the mission reduces total costs and reduces risk for the test.
