DOW-UAP-D110, AAWSAP Statement of Objectives, July 2008
The Defense Intelligence Agency's July 18, 2008 Statement of Objectives that scoped the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) as a contractor study of breakthrough aerospace technologies in 12 technical areas, out to the year 2050.
Issued by DIA's Acquisition Support Division (DWO-3) on 18 July 2008, this four-page Statement of Objectives is the founding tasking document for AAWSAP. It directs a contractor to study the physics and engineering of far-term foreign aerospace threats from 2008 through the year 2050, with the stated focus on breakthrough technologies that create discontinuities rather than extrapolations of current trends. The 12 study areas run from lift, propulsion, and power generation through spatial/temporal translation, signature reduction, human interface, human effects, and RF and directed-energy armament. The contract was anticipated as a firm fixed price award of one 12-month base year plus four 12-month option years, with monthly status reports, 60-day program management plans, tenth-month research reports, and a final integrated threat assessment.
In order to accurately assess the foreign threat to U.S. weapon systems, a complete as possible understanding of potential breakthrough technology applications employed in future aerospace weapon systems must be obtained.p.1
The objective of this program is to understand the physics and engineering of these applications as they apply to the foreign threat out to the far term, i.e., from now through the year 2050.p.1
Primary focus is on breakthrough technologies and applications that create discontinuities in currently evolving technology trends. The focus is not on extrapolations of current aerospace technology.p.1
Finished reports and presentations, while highly analytical and technical, must be in a format suitable for dissemination at the highest levels of the federal government.p.2
Success in this program is dependent upon this capability and experience.p.2
Cleared facilities are not required at contract inception.p.2
Any classified data provided by the Government in support of this contract will remain the property of the Government and will be returned to the government not more than 30 days after contract conclusion.p.3
The term of this contract shall is anticipated to be 5 years which consists of a base year of 12 months from date of award plus four (4) 12 month option years.p.4

BACKGROUND: The Acquisition Support Division (DWO-3) of the Defonse Intelligence Agency (DIA) has the responsibility to provide guidance and oversight to the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition process along with leveraging the DoD Intelligence Community to coordinate, produce and maintain projections of the future threat environment in which U.S. air, naval, ground, space, missile defense and infonnat:ion systems operate. In order to accurately assess the foreign threat to U.S. weapon systems, a complete as possible understanding of potential breakthrough technology applications employed in future aerospace weapon systems must be obtained. 2. OBJECTIVE: One aspect of the future threat environment involves advanced aerospace weapon system applications. The objective of this program is to understand the physics and engineering of these applications as they apply to the foreign threat out to the far term, i.e., from now through the year 2050. Primary focus is on breakthrough technologies and applications that create discontinuities in currently evolving technology trends. The focus is not on extrapolations of current aerospace technology.
