Waveform Business Case Analysis

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is seeking information on analytical services capable of performing a comprehensive Business Case Analysis for waveform development on tactical radios. The analysis should include historical case studies, model comparison, attribute evaluation, sensitivity-based modeling, and a final recommendation. The goal is to identify the most flexible and affordable approach for future waveform and radio pursuits. Key aspects of the job include: • Historical case studies of past DoW/AF programs related to radios and waveforms • Comparison of different development models, including Government-funded and vendor-funded porting • Evaluation of the cost, schedule, and speed-to-field implications of each option • Development of a sensitivity-based model to outline the pros and cons of each option • Recommendation of the most suitable model for future waveform and radio development • Evaluation of the impact of integrating AI/ML technologies on waveform development costs and licensing structures
