Command and Control (C2) Futures Study
Canberra
The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is seeking Australian academic and Defence industry involvement in its Command and Control (C2) Futures Study. Specifically, academia and industry are invited to participate in a C2 Options Development Industry Workshop being run by the study team exclusively for them. This two-day workshop will be conducted in Canberra in mid-May 2017 and will consider the following questions:
What command and control approach, or approaches, does [Royal Australian] Air Force need to conduct effective combat operations in a Contested and Degraded Operations (CDO) environment in 2027?
What needs to change by 2027 and why?
What are the roadblocks and gaps to realising these changes?
Those members of Defence industry and academia who wish to participate in the workshop are to submit a response (maximum 5 pages in 10 point font) against this SOR. Respondents should articulate in their response the specific knowledge, skills and/or experience that they can bring to the workshop which will aid Air Force in answering the three questions:
What command and control approach, or approaches, does Air Force need to conduct effective combat operations in a CDO environment in 2027?
What needs to change by 2027 and why?
What are the roadblocks and gaps to realising these changes?
The Commonwealth may exclude a response from further consideration if the Commonwealth considers that:
a. the response does not meet the requirements set out in clause 2.2; or
b. the respondent has not provided a signed Declaration by Respondent in the form required at Annex B to the conditions of registration.
The two-day workshop will be conducted in Canberra in mid-May 2017.
Responses are to be lodged electronically via AusTender (https://www.tenders.gov.au) before 12:00pm local time in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) on 20 April 2017 (the 'Response Closing Time') in accordance with the response lodgement procedures set out in this ITR and on AusTender.
