Full Description

The BSTAR program is designed to enhance the proficiency of bomber aircrew by integrating innovative training solutions, implementing comprehensive training curricula, and addressing unique operational challenges within the B-1 bomber community. It is intended to enhance and sustain foundational airmanship, instrument proficiency, and crew coordination skills outside the primary Mission Design Series (MDS), using a high-tempo, low-cost supplemental trainer. Performance data, training outcomes, and airmanship development trends from this effort will inform decisions regarding sustainment, scaling, and potential enterprise implementation of a steady-state BSTAR Companion Trainer Program. This initiative aligns with USAF strategic objectives to improve B-1 aircrew operational efficiency across its bomber fleet. This program will aim to aid the B-1 aviators through supplemental training throughout the aircrew members’ careers within AFGSC.

Request for Information - Sentinel NC3 Market ResearchThe U.S. Air Force is conducting market research through a Request for Information to evaluate the readiness of Digital HF (DHF) technology for integration into the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile system’s Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) architecture, with a focus on achieving Initial Operational Capability by 2033. Sentinel, the successor to the Minuteman III, is transitioning from an analog to a fully digital environment, and the Air Force needs to determine if DHF systems can provide reliable, secure, and resilient communications across all operational phases—pre, trans, and post—under demanding conditions. The inquiry seeks detailed input from industry on the current and near-term (2031-2040) maturity of DHF solutions, including whether they meet a minimum Technology Readiness Level of 6, support NSA High Assurance COMSEC for classified data, and can be deployed within the program’s timeline without compromising security or operational effectiveness. Respondents are asked to identify any technical, operational, or environmental limitations that could hinder DHF adoption in the Sentinel NC3 context, and to describe how their technology would enhance communication resilience and cyber security in a contested or degraded environment. The information gathered will inform the government’s decisions regarding system architecture and procurement strategies as the program progresses toward its Milestone B decision by December 2026. Participation is open to all industry stakeholders, with no set-aside restrictions, and responses are due by August 3, 2026, to the designated point of contact at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. The NAICS code associated with this effort is 332994, and the solicitation is being managed by the Department of Defense through the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center’s Sentinel Program Office.
