Description

AIR MOBILITY BATTLELAB BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY. THE 305th CONTRACTING SQUADRON, pursuant to this BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA), SOLICITS CONCEPT PAPERS IN SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AIR MOBILITY BATTLELAB. A. INTRODUCTION: The United States Air Force (USAF) Air Mobility Battlelab (AMB) is the Mobility Air Forces (MAF) catalyst for innovation across the spectrum of MAF missions and skills. We capitalize on links with industry, laboratories, academia and MAF professionals, to advance the USAF distinctive capabilities of Rapid Global Mobility and Agile Combat Support. Our primary focus is on identifying and investigating initiatives capable of being demonstrated in 18 months. Through this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), AMB invites solution white papers with rough-order-of-magnitude cost and schedule estimates that address technological innovations and/or process improvements that reduce mobility response times, reduce deployable support structures, increase deployed combat capability and effectiveness, and/or enable USAF members to do their job more efficiently. This BAA is issued under the provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) paragraphs 35.016 and 6.102(d)(2) which provides for the competitive selection of technology demonstration proposals. Contracts awarded based on responses to this BAA are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of Public Law 98-369, "The Competition in Contracting Act of 1984." Responses shall reference Solicitation Number. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL 30 SEP 06, AND WHITE PAPERS MAY BE SUBMITTED AT ANY TIME UP TO THAT DATE. AMB considers submissions by evaluation of a five page white paper. A copy of this BAA is also posted on the World Wide Web at http://public.mcguire.amc.af.mil/AMWC/battlelab.htm. B. OBJECTIVE: Technical Description. AMB solicits innovative white papers addressing solutions to identified MAF needs. AMB prefers to use contractor-loaned equipment or to participate in Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs), but does have limited funding for demonstrations. Ultimately, the AMB conducts operational demonstrations of innovative mobility concepts, evaluates their military worth, and presents its assessments to senior decision makers including the Commander of the Air Mobility Warfare Center, the Commander of Air Mobility Command, Commander U.S. Transportation Command, and the Chief of Staff of the USAF. Within the fields of Rapid Global Mobility and Agile Combat Support, current high-interest areas include: a. Aeromedical evacuation enhancements b. Air base opening capabilities c. Aircraft threat mitigation d. Autonomous landing capabilities e. Enhancing aircrew situational awareness f. Collaborative tools to facilitate C2 reach back capabilities g. Expeditionary airbase/en route force protection h. MAF/CAF interoperability, specifically organizational and process interoperability i. NVG-compliant airfield lighting and NVG training j. Precision airdrop and airdrop tracking k. Real time in transit visibility l. Seamless and secure communication between MAF/CAF aircraft, C2 centers, and ground forces m. Tactically-relevant aircrew training devices AMB solicits white papers with the potential to enhance Air Force operations within any element of air mobility operations or their interfaces with the rest of the Defense Transportation System. Submitters are encouraged to visit http://public.mcguire.amc.af.mil/AMWC/battlelab.htm to view a current list of AMB innovation areas. C. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Submitters are required to provide their Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Number and reference the BAA number with their submissions. Submitters are reminded that they must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at http://www.ccr.gov to conduct business with the Gove NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (27-JUL-2006).
