Aircraft Mission Profiles. The aircraft mission profiles below are representative of typical operations conducted in a training environment. The Contractor shall provide aircraft capable of meeting the mission criteria provided below and IAW aircraft requirements in PBWS Appendix D and Attachment (2), IRD. Specific training scenarios are subject to change based on the mission profiles at the request of the customer. EA Profile Including Start, Taxi, Takeoff, then climb to cruising altitude of 20,000 ft. Mean Sea Level (MSL) and transit 150 Nautical Miles (NM) at max range airspeed to push point. Continue level transit 100 NM at 300 Knots Indicated Air Speed (KIAS), then simulate 100 NM missile launch/fly out (descend to 200 ft. MSL at 4,000 ft./min rate of descent within 25 NM, then completing the remaining transit at 300 KIAS). Off target, aircraft will transit home by climbing 20,000 ft. and transit 350 NM at max range airspeed and normal descent for recovery. Total range for the profile is 700 NM. For Drag Count calculations: Aircraft in proposed mission configuration including an AST-9 pod on each wing. NOTE: EA equipped aircraft must be capable of flying in tactical wing formation for escort missions. SOJ Profile Including Start, Taxi, Takeoff, then climb to cruising altitude of 20,000 ft. MSL and transit 150 NM at max range airspeed to push point. Continue level transit 200 NM at 300 KIAS. Orbit for 90 minutes at Max Conserve providing DRFM jamming support then Return to Base (RTB). Aircraft will RTB 350 NM at max range airspeed and normal descent for a total mission range of 700 NM plus loiter. For Drag Count calculations: Aircraft in proposed mission configuration including an AST-9 pod on each wing. Target Tow Profile Including Start, Taxi, Takeoff, then climb to cruising altitude of 20,000 ft. MSL and transit 150 NM at max range airspeed to rendezvous with ship/aircraft. Fly an additional 80 minutes at 10,000 ft. to 5,000 ft. MSL which includes streaming the Target, providing services, and retrieving the target Aircraft will then RTB 150 NM at max range airspeed and normal descent. For Drag Count calculations: Aircraft in proposed mission configuration including a RM-30A/A1 or MTR-101. Banner Tow Profile For banner tows that are deployed upon takeoff, Aircraft must be capable of a 2-hour total flight time. For Drag Count calculations: Aircraft in proposed mission configuration including associated hardware/banner.
