Transition and Advancement of Innovative Real-time HF Propagation Modeling and Ionospheric Simulation Capabilities

Scope: Transition and Advancement of Innovative Real-time HF Propagation Modeling and Ionospheric Simulation Capabilities. The tasks below specifically outline the work requested for this SETS BAA CALL 004 related to the following topic: Topic 1: Solar, Solar Wind, and Ionospheric Effects
TOPIC 1: Solar, Solar Wind, and Ionospheric Effects Solar and Solar Wind Task 1: Tactical decision aid development
A. Provide development of Air Force Coverage Analysis (AFCAP) tool, progressing the ability of AFCAP to provide real time Over the Horizon Radar (OTHR) simulation to SSC
B. Develop other software based tactical decision aids like the Air Force Coverage Analysis (AFCAP) tool to SSC and other AFRL customers related to radar propagation through the ionosphere
C. Support the creation, design and development of tactical decision aids and indications and warnings tools based on ionospheric modeling
Task 2: Model and software enhancement and creation
A. Provide development and integration of software tools Sounder Receiver (SORcer) Enabled Ionospheric Model - Service for Tactical Regional Environmental Specification (SEIM.STRES), the Optimal Approach System for Ionogram Scaling (OASIS), and Regional Ionospheric Profile Estimator (RIPE) for deployment into SSC enterprise solutions
B. Create and develop models and simulations of ionospheric properties and radar propagation through the ionospheric environment for integration into relevant I&W tools Task 3: Create and further develop enhanced HF propagation analysis and ionospheric modelling tools
A. Assess HF propagation from space environment drivers using remote sensing data sources and investigate, evaluate, and join them for more efficient characterization of said

drivers. These assessments should aid the development of existing technologies like High Frequency – Propagation Observation Evaluation Toolkit (HF-POET). B. Support research and development related to space environment characterization and general ionospheric physics.
C. Create and develop operational decision aid, indications, warnings and exploitation tools supporting ionospheric propagation for radio waves, such as from an OTHR. Task 4: Conduct model and tool verification and validation A. Enhance, verify, and validate indications and warnings, real-time ionospheric modeling
