TO ADDRESS DEFICIENCIES IN INFORMATION OPERATIONS: Request for
Information: Invitation to Industry, academia, associations, and other
interested parties to participate in Information Operations (IO)
discussions sponsored by the IO Technical Planning Integrated Product
team (TPIPT) and the Counter Information (CI) Mission Area Team (MAT).
Subject Matter: We will discuss solution concepts that address
deficiencies in the FY00 CI Mission Area Plan (MAP). Background:
Information Superiority is a core competency of the USAF. In support of
this core competency, the IO TPIPT strives to enhance AF IO
capabilities by capitalizing on technology solutions to warfighter
requirements. The primary mission area that supports Information
Superiority is the CI mission area. Air Combat & Control Agency (AC2A)
is the lead command for developing a CI MAP. The MAP contains a
description of the tasks for this mission area, a description of how
well the AF can accomplish these tasks given its current capabilities,
a listing of operational capabilities the AF needs, and a listing of
proposed solution concepts that the AF would like to implement (i.e.,
acquire). The CI MAT and the IO TPIPT are updating the MAP this summer.
The FY00 Needs will be available for viewing by 18 December 1998. You
are invited to view the FY98 MAP and the FY00 Needs and submit solution
concepts. The CI MAP and the IO TPIPT will include in the FY00 MAP
those solution concepts that merit further consideration as an
acquisition program. IO discussions will be held 9-11 February 1999 at
the Mitre complex in Bedford, MA (4 miles NE of Hanscom AFB). If you
wish to brief your solution concept, a "white paper" (preferably
unclassified and unproprietary) of your solution concept should be
submitted by 20 January 1999. Additional Information: You may obtain
copies of the FY98 CI MAP from the Defense Technical Information Center
(DTIC) for a nominal fee. For organizations having a DTIC account
number, you may orderthe document from the DTIC by viewing the web page
http://www.dtic.mil/dtic. For companies not having a DTIC account
number, you may obtain one by dialing (703) 767-8273 after which you
will be sent a registration package. The DTIC Web Page lists all the
telephone, fax, and e-mail numbers. The MAP is classified SECRET.
Appointments may be made to view the FY98 MAP, FY00 Needs and the
generic questions by contacting the action officer, Lt Jose Aquino at
(781) 271-2739 or Lt Bran Zivojinovich at (781) 271-8298, and by
submitting your clearances via fax to (781) 271-2380. Access is limited
to those organizations that are qualified by the Defense Investigative
Service (DIS) to receive, process, and store classified materials.
Procedures: Anyone can submit "white papers". "White papers" should be
limited to three single spaced typewritten pages wherein one single
spaced typewritten page is dedicated to answering the generic questions
using "Microsoft Word" no smaller than type 10 font and 5 slides using
"Microsoft Powerpoint" no smaller than type 12 font. We will accept
classified, or unclassified submittals, with or without proprietary
information, but we prefer that they be unclassified and not contain
any proprietary information. We will protect any proprietary
information submitted but we may not be able to use it as the basis for
an RFP. Unclassified "white papers" and slides should be submitted via
soft copy (e-mail or 3.5" diskette) using Microsoft Office 97 version
or lower. Classified white papers should be mailed only on hard copy
using appropriate security procedures. All material mailed should be
addressed to: ESC/IYW, ATTN: Lt Aquino, 50 Griffiss Street, Hanscom

e-mail, etc.), (3) Security officer within the organization (name,

description of the operational need or deficiency (s) addressed by your
solution concept, and (5) an indication of whether you are requesting
an opportunity to brief your ideas during the concept call. Briefers

a solicitation for bids or proposals and is not a commitment to award
