This Request for Information (RFI) supports a potential in-flight demonstration of the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar to be conducted on Redstone Arsenal, Al. The government intends to investigate AESA Radar technologies that are capable of fulfilling the requirements of multiple rotary and fixed-wing platforms. Desired capabilities include Fire Control, Pilotage, Pilot aid in Degraded Visual Environments (DVE), Pole/Tower and Cable Detection, Airborne Hazards, Terrain Following (TF), Terrain Avoidance (TA), and Shoreline mapping using Augmented Reality (AR) techniques. Respondents are still encouraged to respond if they can only provide a subset of capabilities,

Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) and Program Executive Office Digital & Enterprise Services (PEO Digital) are conducting market research regarding a potential, future technology refresh (Tech Refresh) of the fielded, USMC-owned, multiband, and single band land mobile radio (MBR and SBR, respectively) devices currently in use in the Marine Corps Installations Pacific (MCIPAC) area of responsibility (AOR). Prior technical refreshes of similar assets have had fielding issues related to the lack of regional Joint Frequency (J/F) - 12 or host nation approval due to being a Multi Band asset for Okinawa, Iwakuni, and Fuji (Japan Region). The subscriber unit allocations for theses bases need to be a single band VHF capable asset.

NGC2 is a clean-sheet, fundamentally different approach for an Army-wide, data-centric transformation that enables our commanders to make more, faster and better decisions than the enemy. NGC2 modernization is driven by continuous iteration of flexible requirements, vendor teaming and competition throughout the life cycle, and governance by an AFC product owner and ASA(ALT) program manager working together to plan and rapidly execute capability drops.

This approach enables continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) of a secure, high-performing, and adaptive technology stack for data and network architecture for varying operations in environments spanning enterprise-connected and cloud-enabled through austere and communication. NGC2 will require process innovation across requirements, resourcing, acquisition, and contracting.  

Potential Offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when additional information is posted to the SAM.Gov website. 

Respondents are requested to provide feedback/comments on draft documentation associated with NGC2 requirements.  Draft documents to be released to industry via secure procedures include: 

           1. Base IDIQ Performance Work Statement (PWS) 
           2. Prototype Statement of Objectives (SOO) 
           3. RFI Questions

ACC-APG posted an Updated Special Notice/RFI for Autonomy Characteristics.  In support of Human Machine Integrated Formations (HMI-F), the Army requires autonomous systems that must be reliable, tailorable, efficient, continuously learning, and integrated into all aspects of military operations. The Army must leverage both technological advances and industry best practices for integrating autonomous systems into how the Army plans, trains, and executes missions in a contested and dynamic operational environment. The Army requires assistance with making its data usable, developing procedures to train autonomous systems, delineating the right level of autonomy for different systems, and integrating autonomy into our air, ground, intelligence, and command and control systems.

The Army needs a layered formation-based approach that creates a converged system of sensors, weapons systems, information, and Soldiers across the domains and formations, from the division to squad level. FBLP will employ a protection architecture that incorporates components, common characteristics, and specific characteristics to provide a comprehensive and cooperative mix of protection capabilities across all forms of contact.

The Army invites industry to contribute to the overarching FBLP dialogue and comment on the draft FBLP, Characteristics of Need (CoN) found on SAM.gov. Feedback may be directed to the Army Futures Command (AFC) Directorate of Integration (DOI).

US Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, AL.  is seeking information on current technology regarding LE capabilities.  The Special Electronic Mission AC Product Directorate of the Fixed Wing Project Office (FWPO) has an emerging requirement for a LE capability to be integrated onboard a Medium/High Altitude, Higher Airspeed (increased range/operation area), A-ISR day/night, AC.

The LE System would be integrated onto the hardpoints of an all-weather, pressurized, large-sized-cabin FAA/FAR certified executive jet category AC (Bombardier G6500 AC). The FWPO intends to conduct individual conference calls with the viable Respondents as necessary.  THE USG may conduct an informal evaluation to determine the capability of a Respondent’s system
