About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is seeking information on candidate systems for a Data Link Simulator (DLS) to support multilink training and simulation. The DLS must provide host and terminal emulation, function as a host computer for a MIDS JTRS terminal, and enable the simulator operator to run stored scenarios or dynamically input data to simulate a complete datalink network. The system must comply with MIL-STD-6016F and MIL-STD-3011C. The Government is interested in information on system capabilities, interfaces supported, verification and validation, cybersecurity, costs, maintenance, and support. Interested vendors must provide a Statement of Interest and responses to specific questions by January 6, 2025. The Government will not pay for any information received and is not obligated to issue a solicitation.
This is an unrestricted procurement, with no set-aside designations indicated. The notice does not name any potential incumbents or provide information on award values or budget ranges. The quantity of goods or timeline for services is not specified, though the intent is to acquire a DLS to support the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) training environment at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.
Notice text
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. This is a Request for Information (RFI) being issued for information, planning, and market research purposes only. The Government is seeking information on candidate systems for a Data Link Simulator (DLS) for the purpose of multilink training and simulation. The intent is to connect via a RF link to assist in training datalink operators working an airborne communications system. The Government is interested in systems that provide host and terminal emulation and can function as host computer for a MIDS JTRS terminal and enable the simulator operator to run a scenario or dynamically input track and network data to simulate a complete datalink network for a weapons system training. It is envisioned to create an immersive and realistic datalink network environment through simulation to aide in training. The system must comply with MIL-STD-6016F, and MIL-STD-3011C. The primary focus of this RFI is to obtain information on the capabilities of existing systems with emphasis on fidelity of modeling of the network and simulated link entities, ease of use and adaptability to run stored scenarios.
BACKGROUND: Air Combat Command (ACC) is establishing a Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) training environment at Robins Air Force Base (AFB), Georgia. This proposed effort is to find a DLS that will meet the needs of the training system at Robins AFB.
Please see the attached RFI for additional information.
