On January 10, the U.S. Army extended the deadline
for responses to the I&TS request for information (RFI). Responses will now
be accepted until 5:00 p.m. Eastern on February 7.
Candidate I&TS technologies may include
on-board processing for multiple airborne platforms, and sensor technologies to
increase range, resolution and/or aid in rapid targeting (geolocation models,
sensor-based exploitation/recognition tools, sensor networking capabilities).
Candidate Projects must address one or more of the
following FY21 GCWG goals to support Next Generation Sensors requirements and
the National Defense Strategy.
- Artificial
Intelligence/Machine Learning – Technology that will create a capability
that delivers flexible autonomy to improve every Air Force decision.
Be able to grow the Air Force’s people, data, algorithms, and compute
options to improve our ability to deliver autonomous solutions.
- Multi-INT and Cross-cue – Technology that will
support using data from multiple modality collections to cue another
sensor modality. Be able to move from traditional single-modality
processing and simple multi-modal fusion to strategies that will provide
real or near real time assisted target recognition with significant
accuracy and robustness across realistic operating conditions and target
types.
- Advanced computing to
support “Big data” analytics – Technology that will support airborne
processing and extend Multi-INT Common Open Architecture Reconnaissance
Program Standard (MI-COARPS) with advanced features, additional platforms,
and multiple sensor modalities allowing for real time decision making.
- Digital Engineering – Technology that will
enable component replacement by multiple vendors using a shared system
model with multiple views, flexibility for savings with digital test and
simulation, and connected to discipline models like Model Based System
Engineering (MBSE).
