General and Background Information: This RFI supports market research being conducted by the Range Systems Branch (AFLCMC/EBYC) of the Armament Directorate at Eglin AFB, FL for a replacement to the P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) - tentatively referred to as the P6 Combat Training System (P6CTS). The current training system is a system of systems that has enabled Combat Air Forces live training since 2005. The system is facing increasing obsolescence and end of life challenges, which necessitate a fully fielded replacement no later than 2030. Additionally, the P5CTS faces increasing performance obsolescence given ever-increasing cybersecurity and training demands that P5CTS is not currently designed to satisfy. P6CTS Top Level Requirements: USAF future air combat training will require a capable, affordable, and sustainable CTS. As a minimum, solutions must: 1. Support interoperability between and among 4th and 5th generation aircraft, heavy platforms, and helicopters 2. Support interoperability between USAF and USN air combat training systems 3. Employ an open architecture and common data standards 4. Incorporate a growth path to Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training 5. Incorporate the ability to process, segregate, and disseminate highly classified data 6. Be suitable for employment in operational training environments, both CONUS and OCONUS (USAFE, PACAF, and AFCENT) Supplemental Documents Appendix 1 to this RFI provides additional detail regarding the top level requirements. No additional documentation or reference library is anticipated to be made available at this time.
