The Contractor shall advise and assist the program Chief Engineer, Integrated Product Team (IPT) Leads, Program Managers (PMs), and joint combined test team customers on performance, schedule, and cost issues with respect to planning, communications, and control.

The Contractor shall provide knowledge and experience in the specific areas of:

•Combat Net Radio (CNR): includes defining and documenting a set of CNR networking parameter configurations to be used by Air Force (AF) weapon systems and controllers that will provide the best balance between flexible implementation of capability and implementation impact on both existing controllers and emerging weapon systems.

•Test and Demonstration includes engineering support for interoperability testing weapon configurations with Threshold and Objective launch platforms/controllers and ground Joint Terminal Attack Controllers over Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) CNR and Link 16 communications.

•Joint Concept of Employment (CONEMP): includes developing, documenting, and presenting a Joint CONEMP that is vetted by Combatant Commands and responsible for Department of Defense (DoD)/Joint Chiefs of Staff/Service agencies, is flexible and scalable across conflict intensity and Joint/single-service command architectures, supports third-party targeting and handoff of control, is compatible with communications via Military tactical data exchange networks, such as LINK-16 and UHF/CNR, is aligned with weapon and controller system capabilities, and is transferrable to warfighter training environments.

•Cryptologic Systems: includes the development of a Joint approach whereby Communication Security (COMSEC) cryptologic data can be passed from its source to weapons and its controllers.

•Link 16 Networking: includes developing and documenting Joint Service approaches for integrating weapons into existing tactical data link (TDL) environments that support effective weapon capability across a broad range of warfare intensity and force architectures, while minimizing negative impact on existing users and usage of those environments.

•Interface Control: includes completing the development and documentation of Link-16J11.X messages, within the construct of a Joint Service Configuration management (CM)strategy that will maintain interoperability between weapon systems and controllers, while supporting a flexible CONEMPS, and allowing for rapid, responsive evolution of the weapon system capability.

•Implementation: includes defining and documenting specifications for network enabled weapon systems, Threshold and Objective launch/control aircraft and ground control

systems (e.g., the F-15E, F-35 B&C, the USAF Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Close Air Support System, and the United States Marine Corps Target Location Designation Handoff System) to ensure Link-16 J11.X message interoperability with applicable weapon systems.

• Digitally Aided Close Air Support (DACAS): includes completing and documenting the Joint “Doctrine, Organization, Training, Leadership Awareness, Personnel, Facilities” Change Recommendation (DCR) to establish the manpower, training, equipment, and infrastructure requirements and procedures to enable war fighters to plan, disseminate, and manage networking parameters via applicable datalinks. Also includes coordination and approval of the DCR package through required staffing procedures and continuing the development and documentation of weapon system specifications.

• United States Message Text Format (USMTF): includes completing and documenting USMTF formats to support weapon operations to plan and promulgate network parameters and facilitate machine-to-machine mission planning via Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS).
