Northrop Grumman has won a potential 10-year, $801 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide distributed mission operations support for combat air forces, or CAF.
The Department of Defense said Monday the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio launched a competitive acquisition process and received three offers for the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.
The IDIQ contract seeks to provide virtual, distributed training for Air Force trainers worldwide, including daily team training and large-scale exercises.
Work will occur in Orlando, Florida, through Dec. 11, 2034.
The military branch is obligating $5,526 in fiscal 2025 operations and maintenance funds.
What Is the CAF Distributed Mission Operations Program?
According to the performance work statement, the CAF DMO Program’s overall objective is to provide a persistent virtual training environment to improve operational effectiveness by integrating DMO as a component of readiness training.
The program seeks to establish interoperability standards to support the distributed training environment and provide a security platform that allows trainers of different security levels to train together.
