• Provide support to WOBC, WOES and AIT for 14G/14H MOS when requested within the scope of support provided to the ADAM/BAE and C-RAM courses. The support required is engineering and technical services tied to existing Programs of Instruction (POI) for the preceding courses. The high-level technical support required for WOES and AIT training requires the contractor to provide network management, tactical air-track stimulation, digital scenario support and on-going sustainment and maintenance support on networks and networking equipment.
• Assess and incorporate new technologies into the existing design and simulation toolset in order to enhance the overall capability for training missile, aviation, and force protection systems.
• Provide detailed Ground Tactical Plan (GTP) and Concept of Operations (CONOP) briefs for air mission planning and unit airspace plan (UAP) development. Each CONOP and GTP shall provide for detailed airspace planning and integration in support of course practical exercises, vignettes, and final CAPSTONE training events. Each CONOP and GTP shall be synchronized with all facets of the course delivery design to include scenario development, digital simulations, and practical exercises.
• Perform White Cell Operations providing interaction with students during execution of course practical exercises, vignettes, and final CAPSTONE training events. The contractor shall operate an AFATDS (Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System) and a TAIS (Tactical Airspace Integration System) during ADAM/BAE systems integration and operations training. The contractor shall clearly deliver Field Artillery Fires, Airspace Command and Control (AC2) and Airspace Integration White Cell support during course execution using tactical chat and voice. The functions of the White Cell are Joint, Army multi-proponent and multi-echelon intensive as the White Cell provides Airspace, Aviation, Air Defense and Mission Command guidance.
• Facilitate extensive use of After-Action Reviews following each Situational Training Exercise (STX) conducted in support of ADAM/BAE training. The contractor shall provide direct input into the small group discussions utilized during the course and provide Army Aviation and Airspace Integration expertise to the students.
