- Please visit the TReX RFS website for additional information at: https://nstxl.org/opportunity/experimental-validation-capabilities-prototype-project-evcapp/ Experimental Validation Capabilities Prototype Project (EVCAPP) 13 November 2020 Purpose and Authority � This Request for Solutions (RFS) is seeking vendors for an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement, for the Experimental Validation Capabilities Prototype Project (EVCAPP), in accordance with the authority of 10 USC �2371b.� This project seeks to improve Redstone Test Center (RTC)�s test and assessment methodologies and capabilities by demonstrating more agile, adaptable, and resilient test and assessment technologies, methodologies, processes, and capabilities that reduce test and reporting timelines and increase the availability of decision quality information and data to the Army decision makers. The Government will evaluate the solutions with the intent to competitively award one or multiple Other Transaction (OT) Agreements for prototype projects through the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) Consortium. Summary and Background � The mission of the Army�s RTC, a subordinate organization to the United States Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), is to conduct developmental testing, independent evaluations, assessments, and experiments of US Army aviation, missiles, and sensor equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, aircraft/ground vehicle survivability systems; aircraft/aircraft subsystems/aviation mission equipment; unmanned aircraft systems/autonomous systems; targeting/ISR sensors; missile performance and lethality; electromagnetic/environmental effects; and other emerging and enabling technologies and capabilities the Army may require/acquire to support Warfighter needs in the Joint All Domain Operations environment [previously referred to as Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)]. RTC is tasked to provide the Warfighter test and evaluation (T&E) capabilities that include, but are not limited to, the assessment of the operational feasibility and utility of developmental testing, training, and readiness prototypes that fall within USAFC�s six priority areas that result in the provision of actionable test information and data to USAFC decision makers in a timely and cost effective manner. However, as technology continues to accelerate, adversarial threats continue to evolve, and USAFC�s need to gain actionable test data and information to drive critical acquisition decisions continues to grow, RTC must change how it tests and assesses developmental testing, training, and readiness prototypes if it is to meet the growing and demanding technological and operational needs of today�s (and tomorrow�s) Warfighter. � The goal of the EVCAPP is to enable RTC to go from test planning to test report with unprecedented speed and agility resulting in significant enterprise wide increases to the quality of test and assessment information and data presented to key decision makers. To meet this goal, EVCAPP seeks to improve RTC�s test and assessment methodologies and capabilities by demonstrating more agile, adaptable, and resilient test and assessment technologies, methodologies, processes, and capabilities that reduce test and reporting timelines and increase the availability of decision quality information and data to Army decision makers. This will include the novel application of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies for defense purposes. Furthermore, EVCAPP seeks to demonstrate an integrated, agile, adaptable, resilient, holistic, and cost-effective test and assessment capability to support USAFC and RCCTO mission and vision to deliver Warfighter technologies and capabilities in a timely, reliable, and cost-effective manner.� The overall classification level of this program will be SECRET, however most elements of it will be UNCLASSIFIED until real system under test data is introduced.� The vendor�s facilities may need to be cleared to the SECRET level. 3.0 Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of TReX or teamed with a TReX member.� Information about membership can be found on the following webpage: https://nstxl.org/membership/.� This project will be managed by the RTC, US Army Test and Evaluation Command. ***Please visit the TReX RFS website for additional information, at: https://nstxl.org/opportunity/experimental-validation-capabilities-prototype-project-evcapp/
