Attack Controller (JTAC) initial/mission qualification, and currency training.

1.2. Specific Task Description. The contractor shall support the 24 SOW with CAS sorties in

order to facilitate JTAC mission qualification and currency. All aircraft support will be conducted

within the continental United States (CONUS) (see Annex 1 for potential training locations).

or BRUs (MERs) of similar capability that are approved by the Government for use by the

contractor.

1.3.3.12. DACAS: Contractor must be able to execute Digitally Aided CAS on day 1 of this

contract. VMF protocol is the military standard (BAO, BDAT, APASS, ATAK) and is therefore a
