Project Sabre

The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research to identify potential capable and responsible sources for varying technology focus areas. The Government seeks to inject commercial best practices into Air Force architectures and standards, create standard-compliant software, and leverage the robust commercial hardware and software marketplace for military applications. The desired end-state is a prototype capability that enables a weapon system to exploit open architecture principles across its full lifecycle. • Robust Digital Infrastructure: Develop and maintain an affordable, reliable, and rapidly scalable digital infrastructure at multiple classification levels to develop, test, and field mission system capabilities. • Mission Engineering & Analysis: Provide world-class, data-driven products to support architectural solution decision making backed by business, mission systems agility, and capability return-on-investment (ROI) metrics. • Integrated Open Architectures & Standards: Inject commercial best practices into a tailorable suite of open architectures and standards to enable agile, modular, and lethal system-of-systems effects. • Cybersecurity, Compliance, Verification, & Test: Provide robust infrastructure and products to ensure a particular hardware/software implementation is compliant with the applicable open architecture, standard, or cybersecurity requirements. • Design and Instantiation: Implement, design, develop, and field mission capabilities with a modular open systems approach (MOSA). • Marketplace Development: Develop a robust mission system ecosystem, using prototypes to rapidly field advanced hardware and software capabilities.
