The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Test Center, 412th Test Wing, 412th Electronic Warfare Group (412 EWG), 772d Test Squadron has a requirement for the development and operations of the Digital Integrated Air Defense System (DIADS) in support of Counter-Hypersonic / Aircraft Command, Control, and Communications (C3).

The DIADS mission is to provide a realistic, mission level, high-fidelity threat Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) environment to test blue force mission effectiveness. DIADS is a high-fidelity mission level simulation environment that models threat IADS. DIADS supports a wide variety of test, training, and analysis customers by assessing blue force mission effectiveness and providing a realistic training environment. It includes software representations of the sensors, command and control (C2), fusion algorithms and weapons used by modern threats. Blue aircraft and electronic attack (EA) can be represented inside of DIADS and DIADS can interact with external systems, models, and hardware in the loop (HITL) components via standard interfaces. The simulation can be run faster than real-time or in real- time for man-in-the-loop operation. The real-time operation enables extensive interface capabilities and flexible support for a wide variety of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) simulations.

The DIADS program office is part of the 772d Test Squadron (TS) and has both program office and test organization responsibilities. The program office manages multiple improvement and modernization programs for the DIADS software model. The TIPP funded HADES program will expand the threat spectrum in DIADS and add multiple new classes of threat systems. Improvement projects sponsored by Test and Evaluation Threat Resource Activity (TETRA) will increase integration efforts with intelligence center threat models. The DIADS program office supports a wide variety of test, training, and analysis customers. This customer support includes software development, integration at customer facilities, training support, test planning, test execution, analysis, reporting, and general operations of DIADS. The program office manages the DIADS software release schedule and is the configuration control agent for all DIADS software development.

The DIADS program office is co-located with the Mission Simulation Laboratory (MSL). The MSL is a multi-tier security domain that can easily be configured to support a variety of constructive and virtual simulation customer needs. The MSL also serves as a classified development environment for a variety of customer programs and is used to perform acceptance testing on new releases of DIADS.

• The Contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the development and operations of DIADS in support of CHAC as defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government Furnished Property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. This includes the planning, coordination, and surveillance of the activities necessary to ensure disciplined work performance and timely resource application to accomplish all tasks under the contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining communication with the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and to immediately notify both the CO and the COR of any problems that would prevent timely performance of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for and required to implement and maintain management control systems necessary to plan, organize, direct, and control all activities under this contract.
