The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Architecture & Integration Directorate’s (AFLCMC/XA) mission is to work with the requirements community and S&T/Industry to analyze gaps, requirements, missions, threats, and technologies and to develop systems or solutions to address warfighter needs while launching high confidence programs. AFLCMC/XA activities include Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A), Capability Development/Development Planning (CD-DP), Cost Analysis/Trades, Technical Risk Reduction/Test Engineering, Standards and Architecture Development and Curation, Software Development and Curation, and Advanced Synthetic/Virtual Simulator Environments Development for Operational Test and Training.

AFLCMC/XA will support future operations by leveraging the Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) to rapidly contract for a variety of capabilities across the portfolio. The work is not envisioned for singular use, rather an enabler for multi-domain, multi-level security development, analysis, and synthetic environments. See attached documentation for the full details of this solicitation.
