The solutions should include concepts, concept development and demonstrations, as well as procurements, to quickly meet test and evaluation requirements.

C4I testing includes tests of hardware and software systems used for C4I, including “System of Systems” and hardware and software systems used on aircraft platforms. Munitions testing includes tests of ground-based, airborne, and space-borne ordnance and armament systems and supporting guidance and control, seeker and sensor, and navigation systems.
