ARFL/RW Eglin AFB is looking for qualified sources capable of conducting engagement, mission, campaign, and wargaming analysis against BAA FA8651-22-S-001 Research Area 8 - MODELING, SIMULATION, & ANALYSIS (MS&A) OF ADVANCED WEAPON CONCEPTS Market Research and Sources Sought FA865122S0001 – Air Delivered Effects Broad Area Announcement https://sam.gov/opp/d8a8535d6ecf4f6d9dfd78f9cb4458d6/view Amendment 5 (18 July 2024) Research Area 8 overview: 8. RESEARCH AREA 8 - MODELING, SIMULATION, & ANALYSIS (MS&A) OF ADVANCED WEAPON CONCEPTS The goal of this work is to develop/modify and employ models used to analyze advanced weapon concepts and their related concepts of employment to highlight technologies worthy of consideration for investment. The objective is to apply, modify and/or combine engineering, engagement (one-on-one), mission (few-on-few), systems-of-systems, campaign (many-onmany, military worth), level modeling techniques, tools, and analysis methods as well as virtual and constructive digital simulation which lend themselves to the quick and effective evaluation of advanced weapon concepts. Concepts include, but are not limited to, intercommunicative weapons, novel damage mechanisms, lethal and novel destruct mechanisms, multiple targeting, and time-critical delivery. Detailed modeling includes, but is not limited to, sensors, aerodynamics, autopilots, navigation and guidance schemes, propulsion, warheads, fuzes, datalinks, error filters, environment (wind, fog, and dust), lethality, vulnerability, and threats. Scenario development and visualization at each level of MS&A is also sought. Research into new simulation toolsets and architectures designed for this purpose will also be considered. Additionally, environmental factors that influence a weapon’s performance can be considered. This can include but not be limited to urban environments, collaborative simulation environments, Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) type environments, scenario generation, and infrastructure simulation common to environments that weapons may operate in. Existing tools of interest include, but are not limited to, ESAMS, RADGUNS, MATLAB/Simulink, AFSIM, EADSIM, and STORM. White papers and proposals should be designed to demonstrate substantive knowledge in any or all of the specific areas of MS&A. Some or all of the work performed under this BAA Research Area will be performed on-site (i.e., at the Government facility). Personal/facility security clearances at the SECRET level may also be required. Technical POC: Mr. Avi Nusimow, avi.nusimow@us.af.mil Contact the Technical POC to discuss specific topic related concepts and technology prior to White Paper submittal. Request interested vendors provide the following: Notice of interest to include Company name, EUI, capability statement Technical point of contact: Name, number and email
