SUBJECT: Space Warfare Center FY03 Call for Concepts 1. The Space Warfare Center (SWC) solicits your ideas for FY03 SWC Call for Concepts. Our focus is providing enhanced operational capability to the warfighter through the application of leading edge technology and innovative concepts. Please submit papers outlining concepts and proposed initiatives that exploit space systems to support near-term tactical warfighter needs. 2. Prepare your Initiative Concept Paper(s) (ICP) to address one or more warfighter deficiency areas as identified on the following SIPRNET web site: http://www.swc.spacecom.smil.mil and click on the ?Organization? button, then the SWC/XR (Programs, Plans and Requirements) patch. From the SWC/XR Home Page, click on the Call for Concepts button. The Call for Concepts letter has hot links to its attachments and the FY03 Requirements Document. 3. The ICP format and assessment criteria are provided in Attachment 3 of the Call for Concepts letter. Please address all criteria adequately in your idea paper. Only papers that address all criteria and are submitted in the proper format will be considered. ICPs must not exceed 8 pages plus a notional architecture. The initial evaluation of all idea papers will be based on their potential to solve a warfighter requirement using a space solution. Please provide HQ SWC/XR with a hard and soft copy in MS Word for Windows, Arial 12-point font, for each idea paper in accordance with table in paragraph 4. Feel free to pass this package on to other government organizations, U.S. contractors and U.S. academic institutions with appropriate clearances. 4.
