TENM encompasses the ATEC requirements of the following three projects: Test Network Modernization, ATEC Fiber Modernization, and Future Wireless Network. U.S. Army PEO STRI Project Manager Cyber, Test & Training (PM CT2) intends to use Requests for Information (RFIs) to obtain industry responses for the network design and cost estimation in developing a hybrid fiber and wireless communications network architecture utilizing existing infrastructure, to the maximum extent possible, at U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC)  Subordinate Organizations (ASOs) - (Aberdeen, Cold Regions, Electronic Proving Grounds, Redstone, West Desert, White Sands, Yuma and Operational Test Command (OTC)) and an expeditionary network design for Operational Test Command capable of meeting current and future U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) test network requirements. Test Enterprise Network Modernization (TENM) will proceed in a phased approach by releasing three separate RFIs to address the requirements for the multiple ASOs.

1. The first RFI will focus on the hybrid network design for Aberdeen and Yuma.

2. The second RFI will focus on the hybrid network design for Redstone and White Sands.

3. The third RFI will focus on Cold Regions, Electronic Proving Grounds, and OTC. OTC will require an expeditionary network design solution, and cost estimation is requested for each proposed approach.

The government requests submittals from interested U.S.-only vendors (small businesses preferred) that can provide an existing commercial solution for developing a hybrid fiber and wireless network that meets the current and future U.S. Army Test Network requirements.  TENM Industry Day is scheduled for Dec 4, 1:00 PM (during the I/ITSEC Conference)

The SMDTC contributes to the success of the warfighter and joint force in four primary technology areas of interest: tactical, responsive space and high-altitude technologies, test and evaluation, strategic weapon technologies, and hypersonic defeat.

White papers for initial concept reviews and full proposals are sought from institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and for-profit organizations (i.e., large and small businesses) for scientific research that supports the SMDTC mission and the published SMDTC research topics of interest. White papers and full proposals are expected to be for cutting-edge innovative research that could produce discoveries that significantly impact enabling new and improved Army operational capabilities and related technologies. 

Interested parties are encouraged to continually browse the SMDTC BAA topics for white paper and proposal topics that SMDTC desires to explore. These specific topics should be viewed as suggestive rather than limiting. SMDTC is always interested in considering other innovative research concepts relevant to the Army if those concepts align with its mission. Interested parties should also review https://www.grants.gov/ and https://www.SAM.gov/ to obtain the latest version of the BAA for white paper and proposal submission requirements.
