Client overview: AFRL/RYW is charged with supporting the warfighter through the integration of various commercial off the shelf (COTS) components and government off the shelf (GOTS) components utilizing superior systems engineering principles to deliver unique capabilities that are both functional and secure. Using over a decade of experience running the Rapid Technology Integration Office, AFRL/RYW has found that advanced engineering analysis, coupled with direct interaction with the warfighter, is critical to delivering the best science and technology (S&T) necessary to successfully complete the United States mission. To this end, AFRL/RYW requires expertise in the rapid integration of software (SW) and hardware (HW) which may employ complex and novel techniques to ensure that the warfighter is able to access and harness the very best of emerging and rapidly changing technical solutions. Deployment solution environments may include in-garrison, mobile use, traveling, austere locations, and wartime conditions. These environments may be permissive or denied depending on the specific application and use case.
