INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS SUPPORT FOR THE MUNITIONS TEST DIVISION. The Air Force Development Test Center, Munitions Test Division, is preparing to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an independent analysis support task-ordering contract. This effort provides test and evaluation, modeling, and simulation support in the broad areas of weapon technologies and performance in both static and dynamic environments, lethality modeling and analysis of various U.S. and foreign systems, Theater Missile Defense Targets, Critical Mobile Targets, Suppression of Enemy Air Defense targets, enemy weapons delivery systems targets, enemy tactical aircraft targets, warhead/vulnerability performance databasing, seeker/sensor signature collection, multi-spectral signature collection, scene prediction, effectiveness analysis, electronic databasing, host-to-weapon interface analysis, target simulator validation, model generation, model update, weapon survivability, target detection, target tracking, weapon survivability, virtual test analysis, and analysis of alternatives. Performance on this four year contract with three one-year options will provide support in the following functional areas: test planning; test conduct; instrumentation system analysis; reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition system, weapon system, and battle damage assessment system analysis; electronic databasing; weapon lethality performance; weapon delivery vehicle analysis, signature characterization, design/construction of target surrogates/replicas, countermeasure/foreign materiel acquisition, survivability/vulnerability/effectiveness analysis; test provisioning and analysis methodology development.
