- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. This request is for planning purposes only, and does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, a Request for Proposals, a Solicitation, or a Request for Quotes. It is not an indication the Government will contract for the services contained in the RFI. The Government shall not reimburse respondents for any cost associated with submission of the information being requested or reimburse expenses incurred to interested parties for responses to this RFI. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e) this notice serves as a request for information for Verification and Validation (V&V) of certain modeling and simulation models, as described below, in support of the Air Force Studies and Analyses Agency (AFSAA). The mission of the AFSAA is to conduct analyses in support of decisions by the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF), the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF), the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force (VCSAF) and the Air Force Director of Operations (AF/XO). To carry out its mission, AFSAA uses modeling and simulation to support force structure decisions, analyze potential force employment options and evaluate the contribution of various weapon systems to the outcome of key objectives in theater-level conflicts. To examine the military potential of proposed doctrinal changes or evolving weapon systems, AFSAA uses flexible, state-of-the-art theater-level models. These models need to be verified and validated as reasonably representing real world operations and effects before the results are utilized. Prior to release to analysts, AFSAA requires V&V of Synthetic Theater Operations Research Model (STORM) by a party independent of its? developers, to ensure it is a reasonable replacement for THUNDER. This effort will take place in parallel with STORM development, with the intent of allowing rapid transition from THUNDER to STORM upon successful completion of V&V.
