Background

The current AN/USQ-163 Falconer AOC is the senior C2 element of a Theater Air Control System (TACS) and the operational level focal point for C2 of air and space forces during AF, joint and coalition operations. The AOC WS consists of several configurations including Falconers, Tailored, Functional, Help Desk, Formal Training Unit and other entities for a total of 18 AOCs. The AN/USQ-163 Falconer is configured to an Increment 10.1 baseline standard and interfaces with other C2 Centers to ensure effective planning and execution of air and space operations in any level of conflict or operation. The AN/USQ-163 Falconer AOC is provided by the Air Force Forces (AFFOR) and employed by the Commander, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR). The AN/USQ-163 Falconer AOC may be tailored in size to meet the COMAFFOR’s requirements.

Requirements

The AOC Weapon System AN/USQ-163 Falconer is a critical component of our nation’s defense, enabling commanders to make rapid, informed decisions in complex and dynamic environments.

The current sustainment and modernization contract FA8730-22-F-0071 was awarded to SAIC. The government is seeking to build upon these efforts and identify new and emerging technologies that can further enhance the AOC’s capabilities.

USAF is especially interested in solutions that address the following opportunities and risks:

  • Opportunities:
    • Integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning to accelerate decision-making
    • Enhanced data fusion and visualization from disparate sources
    • Advanced cybersecurity measures to protect against emerging threats
    • Cloud-native architectures for increased agility, scalability, and resilience
  • Risks:
    • The ever-evolving cyber threat landscape
    • The challenge of integrating legacy systems with modern technologies
