Description
The Air Force is seeking information on aerial target solutions to support its mission. The solutions should be able to replicate threat systems, including performance, signatures, and countermeasures of adversary aircraft. The Air Force is interested in identifying a range of solutions, including commercially available or near-term solutions, and understanding industry capabilities and innovative approaches. The solutions should be able to support various mission areas, including defensive and offensive counter air capabilities.
• The Air Force is looking for solutions that can provide high-fidelity representation of threat systems, including advanced 5th-generation aircraft and low-cost expendable drones.
• The solutions should be able to operate across a wide envelope, with operational altitudes ranging from approximately 500 ft to 50,000 ft, and maintain maneuverability representative of threat systems.
• The Air Force is interested in solutions that can provide modular payload integration, with an airframe design that accommodates necessary antenna placement and frequency coverage.
• The solutions should be able to support various payloads, including electronic attack suites, countermeasures dispensers, and scoring systems.
