Additionally, no reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow-up information requests. The Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (AF ISR Agency) has been tasked to solicit for, and award a contract for the Advanced Data Assimilation and Mesoscale and Transport & Dispersion (ADAMTD) Modeling acquisition. Specific tasks include: (1) The contractor shall research/survey new modeling capabilities (updates and enhancements) to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and other preferred mesoscale model(s), and determine if they are relevant to the AFTAC atmospheric modeling mission. (2) The contractor shall create or modify software to incorporate modifications and enhancements into the AFTAC modeling system(s). (3) The contractor shall research, develop, test, and evaluate atmospheric data assimilation methods (including 3- and 4- dimensional variational data assimilation techniques and others). (4) The contractor shall enhance AFTAC's ensemble mesoscale modeling system(s) by identifying and recommending the most appropriate model setup, physics parameterizations, and initial/boundary conditions perturbations that best characterize model uncertainties. (5) The contractor shall determine optimal usage of WRF's inline tracer capability for transport & dispersion modeling. (6) The contractor shall provide modeling capabilities to determine climatological opportunities for detection of given source(s). (7) The contractor shall provide support for the implementation of modifications/enhancements to AFTAC's operational modeling system(s). (8) The contractor shall provide a Program Manager responsible for the contractor's performance of work. SECURITY REQUIREMENT: Company must have a SECRET clearance within 12 months after contract award. Overarching security requirements will be specified in the DD Form 254, Department of Defense Security Classification attached to the contract.
