Due Date: Rolling to 1 Oct 2024
Government Organization: Air Force
Description: Air Combat Command Reforge Proof of Concept
Title: Reforge Proof of Concept Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) 1.2. General Solicitation Number: FA4890-20-S-0001 1.3. Open Period. Initiation to 1 October 2024 for receipt of White Papers. 1.3.1. The CSO Open Period is the period during which interested vendors may submit White Papers. 1.3.2. The Government reserves the right to target specific contractors and request White Papers with alternative submission deadlines to meet mission needs.
Purpose. The purpose of this CSO is to allow for competitive selection of innovative technologies, and services to obtain solutions or new capabilities that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide potential technological advancements in meeting the Objectives. This CSO does not support or request undeveloped technology or solutions. As the Reforge CONOP matures, this CSO may be modified for future capabilities related to the objectives.
Air Combat Command (ACC) developed a Reforge Concept of Operations (Reforge CONOP) that provides the cornerstone for revolutionizing fighter aviator development while improving CAF readiness. The Reforge CONOP creates a 12-month long initial tactical training (ITT) program using advanced trainer aircraft to deliberately develop and experience fighter aviators with relevant tactical skills prior to transitioning into 4th or 5th generation fighter aircraft. Fusing proven tactical training with new technology emulating advanced mission systems, (i.e. radar, datalink, navigation, weapons, and electro-optical targeting systems) ITT allows aviators to master the skill sets needed for air combat success in a training aircraft. The Reforge-trained fighter aviators will arrive to their Combat Air Force (CAF) units with established tactical skills, allowing those squadrons to repurpose a preponderance of low-end training sorties to high-end, peer-to-peer mission employment training. The ITT program develops fighter aviators sooner, saves one to two family relocations and utilizes more of their aviation service commitment for CAF employment rather than training
