Title of Event: Department of The Air Force Bird /Drone Detection Radar Virtual Industry Day Audience: Members of the Air Force and Industry Representatives When: 9 January 2023, 0900-1230 MST (times are tentative depending on industry response) Where: WebEx Abstract: The Air Force (USAF) experiences thousands of bird strikes each year during flight operations in low-altitude environments. As a result, the USAF incurs millions of dollars in aircraft damage due to wildlife strike events. Further, bird strikes threaten combat capability of USAF aircraft and the safety of aircrews. The objective of this effort is to provide the USAF with a streamlined acquisition solution for Bird Detection Radar (BDR) or Bird/Drone Detection Radar (B/DDR) units and support services. The purchase of radar units and services under this effort may occur as initial investments into detection radar technology; replacement of aging, inefficient BDRs or B/DDR; or support sustainment of current radars on USAF
installations. The availability of funds within each Squadron, Wing, and/or Major Command (MAJCOM) will dictate the number of radar units acquired under the Statement of Work (SOW). The department-wide stand-up of BDR or B/DDR technologies involves over 59 USAF locations and within 140 Air National Guard units. This acquisition is anticipated to be accomplished via a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) established by 377 Mission Support Group Services Contracting Branch (377 MSG/PKA) with the Air Force Safety Center (AFSEC) at Kirtland AFB. Individual contracts will be established by Ordering Activities associated with the Squadrons, Wings, and/or MAJCOM that require the BDR or B/DDR units. Each order established off the BOA is anticipated to include the BDR or B/DDR and basic associated services, such as site planning, delivery and installation, and a warranty. An additional option for an extended warranty/service plan will be added. Maintenance, data storage, and training are also required, in addition to travel to CONUS and OCONUS locations. Industry Day Purpose Summary The purpose of this Industry Day will be to provide industry more insight into the Government’s Bird /Drone Detection Radar requirements by encouraging feedback on provided draft documents and allowing potential vendors the opportunity to ask questions in order to both better define this requirement and ensure it is understood.
