- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratory, Munitions Directorate (AFRL/MN), is publishing a sources sought synopsis for the submittal of a brief descriptive white paper/abstract for Systems of Systems (SoS) advanced munitions modeling, simulation, & analysis (MS&A) support based on the Flexible Analysis & Mission Effectiveness Simulation (FLAMES) architecture, a commercial off-the-shelf software product. This sources sought synopsis for MS&A support includes but is not limited to the following, (1) systems operations research, guidance, navigation, and control, (2) con-ops development, (3) Command & Control/Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C2/ISR) capabilities, (4) advanced weapon MS&A, (5) sensor modeling, (6) lethality modeling, (7) effectiveness analysis, (8) 6-DOF simulation, (9) weapon simulation development, requirements analysis, and programming, (10) and other MS&A related fields beneficial to munitions research and development programs within AFRL/MN. Expected tasks are as follows but are not limited to the following: Contractor personnel shall work assigned tasks as part of the on-site analysis team. The assigned personnel will be responsible for attending Integrating Concept Integrated Product Teams (ICIPT) meetings and reviews, as well as related technology program reviews and discussions.

Upon approval of these written recommendations by the Government, the contractor shall develop the necessary models, perform analyses using the FLAMES architecture, and deliver the written results to the government. A contractor providing this MS&A support will be required to support MS&A requirements by making analysis recommendations, modeling SoS components, perform trade analyses, and deliver written simulation results to the government. Analysis shall be required at several scenario levels including engineering, engagement, and mission. This process will likely involve the use and integration of other existing legacy tools such as Munitions Simulation Tools & Resources (MSTARS), Modular Effect Vulnerability Assessment (MEVA), and Infrared Modeling & Analysis (IRMA). Performance will be at on-site GFE offices are located in Building 13, Eglin AFB.
