Area of Interest

The United States Air Force Fighter Squadron is currently challenged with its ability to maintain a high combat training operations tempo while simultaneously being postured for a rapid deployment. Conventional methods of deployment take several days and potentially may not be efficient enough to meet current real world requirements.

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

The current Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff of the Air Force priorities are as follows:

1. Restore Readiness…To win any fight, any time

2. Cost-effectively Modernize…To increase the lethality of the force

3. Drive Innovation…To secure our future

4. Develop Exceptional Leaders…To lead the world’s most powerful teams

5. Strengthen Our Alliances…Because we are stronger together

These priorities when coupled with the advancement of potential adversaries such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea allude to the need for more ready, modern, innovative, and agile squadrons. In 2015, General Welsh stated that “The Air Force’s ability to continue to adapt and respond faster than our potential adversaries is the greatest challenge we face over the next 30 years.” However, despite these concerns our current conventional methods of deployment have relatively not changed. This is where we bring our challenge; how do we expeditiously overcome this hurdle with our Fighter Squadrons in order to give the U.S. a distinct advantage in any contested environment? This is where the Adaptive Basing Trailer concept comes into play.

Major events such as Vietnam, Desert Storm, 9/11, and many others have shaped our vision and methods of operation to some extent, but many of our evolutionary steps were based on the “last war” vice innovatively preparing for the next war. In 2017, the 1AF Commander, Lt Gen R. Scott Williams visited our base and proposed that we look at innovative ways to accomplish our NORAD mission and increase our lethality and survivability. In short, he asked us to prepare for what is potentially next while maintaining our ability to respond to current threats.

Delays in current methods of most fighter squadron deployments are simply due to the lack of ready postured aircraft support equipment and airlift. The same equipment that is used for deployments is the same equipment used during day to day combat aircraft training. Therefore, once a DEPORD has published we must prep, inspect and palletize our support equipment and this is what consumes 70% of our time. In several cases we short fall critical items and then depend on Wartime Reserve Material which can take an extensive amount of time to coordinate as well. Personnel can be expeditiously processed for readiness requirements, aircraft availability always comes through, but building pallets, increments and load plans can take several days. This is single handedly the most critical constraint in our ability to get to the fight in rapid time.

The proposed Adaptive Basing Trailer concept eliminates a great majority of these issues and without question reduces deployment time by over 2 days. The details of this concept have been in work for over one year and have involved several USAF subject matter experts throughout multiple functional areas. The trailer is designed to be self-sustained with all tools, support equipment and ready postured 24/7 similar to our combat coded aircraft.

Additionally, this trailer can be built for every fighter MDS in the USAF enterprise making it interoperable. This trailer is designed to safely fit into a USAF C-17 with room for additional equipment if needed. Overall it can provide up to 2-4 days of continuous fighter aircraft combat operations without resupply in any austere location. Often times Adaptive Basing models are based on landing at a host site such as Kunsan Air Base South Korea where typical Air Force resources are readily available such as forklifts, lodging and ground equipment are supplied. Landing at a true bare base poses significant challenges where there is virtually no support for aircraft or crew. Simply land a C-17, we drive the trailer into it, load passengers, land in the AOR and with very little set up we bring the fight.

Reducing the initial deployment going to the AOR by 31 personnel makes the lean system efficient, and also increases the number of bodies available at home station to generate the main body force by manning deployment lines, building additional pallets, loading equipment, increment monitor duties, and more man power for sortie generation. This prototype is more than just building a tractor, DDF and trailer. This is rethinking how we can get out the door and in the air.

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a contract to provide a Tractor with a removable DDF mounted to the frame capable of towing the Adaptive Basing Trailer. 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.

The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: In 2019 AFWERX awarded a contract to build an Adaptive Basing prototype semi-trailer.

Throughout the construction process a number of shortfalls led to the need of building a Debrief Facility, and procuring a tractor capable of moving the Adaptive Basing Trailer (ABT) over the road, and also obtain an ATTLA certificate for air transportation. This contract is to fulfill the shortfalls incurred in contract FA500020C0032.

1.3 Objectives:

Build a modified Deployable Debrief Facility (DDF) in accordance with ICS-705-1 that can mount between the cab of the tractor and the front of the trailer, to include the generator on the front of the ABT. This must be approved through Air Combat Command (ACC) prior to any construction and changes to design should be expected.

Requires airlift ability by either C-17 or C-5. An ATTLA certificate will be required DDF and Tractor must be fully operational in -40 to 120-degree conditions Be capable of SIPR communications CONUS and OCONUS Be rapidly deployable anywhere in the world by airlift in one (1) hour Must not exceed 20,000 pounds fully loaded with all equipment and consumables Must have a 20-year life expectancy DDF must be removable from the frame of the tractor by forklift, and/or jacks if feasible.

o Mounting hardware must be installed to allow easy and fast loading and unloading of the DDF.

Page | 7

1.4 Scope: The performance requirements for the Tractor and DDF shall be met when fully equipped and provisioned with all tank(s) completely filled, completely serviced, and ready for mobile operations coupled to the ABT and towed over highways, city streets, and gravel roads. The DDF shall show no actual or impending failure or malfunction of components, structure, body, attachments, accessories or any other item specified herein when towed at speeds up to 65 miles per hour over highways and 35 miles per hour over gravel roads.

The DDF mounted to the Tractor will seamlessly integrat with the communication and power systems built into the ABT. There is a communications panel mounted to the exterior drivers side of the ABT, the DDF will also have an externally mounted driver side panel. There will be no SATCOM installed in the DDF, it will use the the ABT COMM package via fiberoptics.
