About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Aerospace Systems Directorate (AFRL/RQ) has issued a Special Notice seeking information on approaches to effectiveness-based military capability development (EBMCD). EBMCD is the process of finding an optimal integrated system or system-of-systems solution that best accomplishes an engagement, mission effect, or campaign goal by merging operational analysis (OA) and system-level physics-based multidisciplinary analysis and design optimization (MDAO). The Special Notice is specifically interested in EBMCD for integrated OA at the mission level along with airframe, propulsion, and power & thermal management systems.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to gather information on multi-fidelity, physics-based analysis and coupling for the design of integrated airframe, propulsion, and power & thermal management systems to support the EBMCD vision. Key areas of interest include military utility analysis, model-based systems engineering, integrated physics-based design, data science, research computing, and DevSecOps. Responses to the Request for Information (RFI) are due by December 6, 2024 and should be limited to 15 pages. The government may use the responses to help shape future investments in this area but is under no obligation to do so.
Notice text
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Aerospace Systems Directorate (AFRL/RQ) is seeking information on approaches to effectiveness-based military capability development (EBMCD). EBMCD is the process of finding an optimal integrated system
(or system-of-systems) solution that best accomplishes an engagement, mission effect, or campaign goal. It merges two concepts, operational analysis (OA) and system-level physics-based multidisciplinary analysis and design optimization (MDAO). Specific
interest is EBMCD for integrated OA at the mission level along with airframe, propulsion, and power & thermal management systems. Multi-fidelity (low, medium, high) physics based analysis and coupling for the design of integrated airframe, propulsion, and power & thermal management system disciplines is a key underlying attribute supporting the EBMCD vision. Additional attributes of this activity are an emphasis on integrating military utility analysis at the mission level richly within a system design process, increasing the number of system disciplines captured simultaneously in design, and significantly elevating the coupled physics fidelity captured across system disciplines. An ability to rapidly iterate on requirements with mission-driven system-level designs is of interest and is anticipated to engage a wide range of digital engineering and technical disciplines.
