It’s part of a multiple-award effort to provide the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) with prototypes, hardware, and software upgrades, engineering analysis, and necessary support to “upgrade and modernize” combat test and training ranges.
AFLCMC focuses on life-cycle management of Air Force weapon systems from their inception to retirement, per its website.
The Air Force range-systems branch provides threat-radar systems along with supporting tools and infrastructure for the U.S. Air Force’s combat-training ranges. These radars train the “world’s best aircrews for survivability in high-threat environments,” per an SRC news release.
SRC is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Cicero that focuses on areas that include defense, environment, and intelligence.
SRC says it has developed a suite of electronic attack receivers (EAR) that “enhance capabilities” of existing threat-simulator platforms. These EARs process signals emitted by aircraft during training missions and “detect and parameterize” electronic countermeasures. As part of this effort, SRC will work to develop, produce, and modify range-threat emitter and combat-training systems.
In addition to this contract, SRC works with the Air Force to “develop and enhance” intelligence-mission data; supply counter-UAS technology; and deliver technologies for next generation, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
