About this file

This document is a memorandum from the Air Mobility Command (AMC) regarding the Approved Hardware/Software List (AHSL) for the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) program. It lists all the approved hardware and software for use on the EFB, the End User Standalone (EUSA), and the Commercial Internet Service Provider Network. The AHSL is reviewed annually, and any changes are communicated through the attached document, the EFB lock/home screen, and the AMC EFB SharePoint site. Users are directed to comply with the approved application versions to maintain configuration control of the EFB devices. The memorandum provides instructions for requesting the addition of new software or hardware to the list.

The related federal contract opportunity is a request for quotation (RFQ) for Apple iPads with cases for Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs). The Minnesota Air National Guard plans to issue a firm-fixed price order for the EFBs. The solicitation is set-aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 334111. Quotes are due by August 30, 2024, and will be evaluated based on best value using price, technical acceptability, and past performance. No contract award will be made until appropriated funds are available.

MEMORANDUM FOR AMC EFB PROGRAM MANAGERS

FROM: HQ AMC/A5RS

SUBJECT: Electronic Flight Bag Approved Hardware/Software List (AHSL)

The attached document lists all hardware and software approved by Air Mobility Command (AMC) for use on the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB).

In accordance with AMCI 11-270, Mobility Air Forces Electronic Flight Bag Program, only the items in the attachment are authorized for use on the EFB, the End User Standalone (EUSA), and Commercial Internet Service Provider Network. Changes to the EFB baseline are based on circumstances such as approved baseline configuration changes or USCYBERCOM tactical orders/ directives in response to a cyber-attack. Reviews of the baseline are made on an annual basis or sooner if mission needs dictate. Newly approved items will be added to the attached list and an updated EFB lock/home screen image will identify the latest AHSL version.

To maintain configuration control of the EFB devices, users are directed to comply with the application versions contained within this document. In accordance with the Cyberspace Capability Center’s policy, minor upgrades (e.g. iPadOS 17.3-17.4) to the OS and applications are authorized without prior approval. Major upgrades (e.g. iPadOS 17-18) require approval prior to upgrading.

The MAF EFB Office will communicate approval for major upgrades/updates by the attached document, lock/home screen, and the AMC EFB SharePoint Site.

If you would like to have new software or hardware added to this list, please visit the EFB Change Proposal Site for AF Form 1067. Contact us at AMC.EFB@us.af.mil with any questions you regarding this process.

HQ AMC/A5RS POCs are Mr. Scott Daggett, scott.daggett.1@us.af.mil, DSN 779-1049, and Mr. Jason Towns, jason.towns.3.@us.af.mil, DSN 779-3862.
