- Description
- AMENDMENT 3 to Solicitation Number: BAA-AFRL-RIK-2015-0024 The purpose of this Amendment to BAA-AFRL-RIK-2015-0024 is to modify Part I/ FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION and Part IV/ APPLICATION AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION: to revise the Focus Area and FY19 suggested submission date. CHANGE SUMMARY: 1. I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION: Focus: Add the following: FY19 Focus Area Description: AFRL seeks to demonstrate mobile applications specifically tailored to ensure the survival of Isolated Personnel (IP) and their safe return to friendly control by building upon the pre-existing foundation of the AFRL developed GOT-IT and associated Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) technologies. Creating new capabilities for IP in the form of customized plugins will dramatically increase the probability of IP survival by improving their ability to care for themselves, locate resources, navigate land, evade capture, and reach desired points of exfiltration. Similarly, plugins designed for Personnel Recovery (PR) forces will improve their ability to report, locate, authenticate, support, and recover IP to friendly control, as well as act as both planning and prevention tools. Joint Publication 3-50 defines PR as "the sum of military, diplomatic, and civil efforts to prepare for and execute the recovery and reintegration of IP." The demonstration(s) sought will address Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) Memorandums 029-17 and 093-17 and the top five PR capability gaps recognized by the JROC that collectively state that the DoD has a limited ability to: (a) recognize, declare, and report an isolating event, (b) conduct collaborative planning within the comprehensive PR network, and (c) quickly and accurately locate, authenticate, and recover IP. It is envisioned that some of these deficiencies can be addressed by implementing specialized IP and PR technical capabilities as TAK plugins and maximizing the ability of centralized and decentralized information management services to operate in Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environments. Three major categories of tactical warfighter capabilities are envisioned that will save lives, time, money and resources: (a) IP survival aides, (b) PR SAR tools, and (c) collaborative net-centric capabilities for PR mission planning and execution. 2. IV. APPLICATION AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION: 1. SUBMISSION DATES AND TIMES Update as follows: Change FY19 submission date from 13Jul2018 to 7 May 2018 No other changes have been made.
