About this opportunity

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/EBIW) is seeking contractors to design, prototype, and demonstrate an advanced end-to-end weapon system test capability for the Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM) Support project. The primary objective is to develop a prototype that enables "On the Wing" weapon reprogramming, remote in-flight target updates, and remote launch capabilities across ground stations, radios, aircraft, and stores management systems. Contractors must demonstrate extensive experience with OMS designs, UCI message communications, aircraft-weapon interfaces, and the Rapid Dragon delivery system. Evaluation will focus on contractors' technical capabilities, including their ability to support universal software reprogramming, weapon-to-weapon communications, and integration of SMS hardware for 5th and 6th generation aircraft. The pre-solicitation notice requires interested firms to submit a comprehensive 10-page white paper and five-page capabilities statement package by May 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM CST.

The contract opportunity is not designated with any specific set-aside and appears to be open to qualified contractors with appropriate technical expertise. While no incumbent contractors are explicitly named, the project requires contractors to possess or have a clear path to access OMS-based SMS hardware and UAI weapon simulation hardware. Contractors must hold Top Secret (TS) and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) security clearances, which may limit the pool of potential bidders. The NAICS codes for this opportunity are 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541330, with Product Service Codes 1427 and 1420. The ultimate deliverable will include OMS/UAI SMS source code with unlimited rights transferred to the United States Air Force, suggesting a focus on long-term technology development and knowledge transfer in advanced weapon systems communication and reprogramming capabilities.

Notice text

AFLCMC/EBIW is looking for contractors with the ability to Design, prototype, and demonstrate an end-to-end prototype test capability from ground station through radios, aircraft, and stores management system to enable “On the Wing” weapon reprogramming capability, remote In Flight Target Update (IFTU) weapon retargeting capability, remote launch capability (via OMS SMS), and “On Pallet Reprogramming and Retargeting” (via Dragon Cart BMS).

Respondents must describe experience (including contract numbers) with the following:
 Demonstrated experience with OMS designs targeted for use with DoD aircraft.
 Demonstrated experience with OMS SMS design and integration with DoD aircraft.
 Demonstrated experience with UCI message communications between ground stations and multiple ground and air assets.
 Demonstrated experience with aircraft to weapon UAI interfaces.
 Demonstrated experience with the Rapid Dragon delivery system and the Battle Management System (BMS).
 Demonstrated experience with UCI message communications to aircraft and weapons.
 Demonstrated experience with C3BM communications standards and interfaces.

Respondents must describe their ability to accomplish the following:
 Provide assistance with UCI communications between ground test stations, test aircraft, and test weapons.
 Provide assistance to on the wing software reprogramming of weapons through a TBD launcher.
 Provide assistance with “Universal on the Wing Software Reprogramming” of weapons through the Dragon Cart BMS system.
 Provide assistance with weapon-to-weapon communications in support of dual weapon tactics.
 Provide assistance with C3BM communications in support of weapon tactics and employment.
 Provide assistance with use of the OMS/UAI/CFWI SMS skill set.
 Integrate the UAI/CFWI aircraft/weapons ICD with an OMS based SMS.
 Obtain source code from the existing prototype OMS/UAI SMS project (currently at the UAI v3 level).
 Possess or have a clear path to have access to OMS based SMS hardware to assist with remote launch prototype and test  efforts.
 Possess or have a clear path to have access to UAI based weapon simulation hardware.
 Continue progress on OMS/UAI SMS skill set to achieve an OMS/UAI/CFWI SMS skill with UAI v6.
 Integrate and test the OMS/UAI/CFWI SMS hardware with UAI based SMS hardware to allow for agile development and test of a “Universal SMS” capability for 5th Gen and 6th Gen aircraft.
 Work with a collaborative working Government/Industry partner group to solicit feedback, suggestions, and corrections on the Universal SMS capability.
 Work with a collaborative working Government/Industry partner group to solicit feedback, suggestions, and corrections on the Universal on the Wing Software Reprogramming capability.
 Provide routine updates to the USAF.
 Deliver OMS/UAI SMS source code with unlimited rights to the USAF.
