- Description
- COMBAT RESCUE TANKER (CRT) COMBAT RESCUE TANKER MARKET RESEARCH Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and the Combat Rescue Tanker (CRT) Integrated Product Team (IPT) are conducting advanced market research looking for a new or modified tanker aircraft to replace or augment the current fleet of fixed wing tankers that are used in the combat search and rescue mission. Candidate platform(s) will provide Personnel Recovery/Recovery Operations (PR/RO) forces with the capability to conduct in-flight and ground refueling of vertical lift assets, at a minimum the HH-60 and V-22, and should have the capability to adapt to the next generation (CSAR-X) rescue platform. It will also have the capability to provide overt/covert airland or airdrop delivery of Pararescuemen and their equipment. In addition, the platform must have the capability to perform the Airborne Mission Commander (AMC) mission. The platform must be capable of operating in 10 percent worldwide climatic extremes as defined in MIL-HDBK-310., in all environmental regions of the globe (e.g., arctic, desert, mountainous, littoral, tropical, etc.), day or night, during adverse weather conditions, and in a variety of spectrums of warfare to include passing through Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) environments. The support and deployment concepts include the capability to operate from main operating bases, forward operating bases, and forward operating locations. Onboard defensive capabilities must permit the platform to operate in an increased threat environment. The platform must have an in-flight refueling capability from current strategic tanker assets. The platform must be capable of deploying without immediate strategic airlift support and maintain sustained operations with a minimum of support. The platform should be capable of refueling rotary wing and tiltrotor (V-22) aircraft at airspeeds 105-180KEAS, and to incorporate a refueling drogue that functions throughout that airspeed range without ground reconfiguration. It must also comply with Software Compliant Architecture and Joint Tactical Radio Systems mandates, and also comply with net-centric, airborne networking and IP networking architecture. Request that respondents provide a short statement of capabilities relative to this requirement, to include aircraft manufacturing experience, aircraft modification experience, software development and integration experience, and systems engineering capability. Responses should be sent to: Major Rique Gwin HQ AFSOC/A5RM 100 Bartley St. Hurlburt Field FL 32544 A copy of each response should be sent to: John Dyson AERNAUTICAL SYSTEMS CENTER (ASC)MC130SS/PM 1895 Fifth StreetWright Patterson AFB OH 45433-7200 The required Initial Operating Capability (IOC) date for the CRT is 2011.
