On December 9, the U.S. Army posted a sources sought notice for Cross-Domain Enterprise All-Source User Repository (CENTAUR III). Responses are due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on December 13.
This sources sought notice seeks viable and proven approaches for services and maintenance/sustainment of the CENTAUR operational infrastructure, enhancements/upgrade/modernization and planned future deployments, materials and software license procurement/renewal, production, integration, certification and accreditation of the system software and hardware, and on-site continental U.S. (CONUS) and outside the continental U.S. (OCONUS) Contractor Field Service Representative (CFSR) support to real-world intelligence operations.
Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S) is made up of a team of seven project managers dedicated to designing, delivering, and sustaining advanced technologies to give the warfighter the decisive edge. PEO IEW&S develops and integrates sensors and sensor data across multiple technologies ensuring warfighters have a complete understanding of the battlefield. Project Manager, Intelligence Systems & Analytics (PM IS&A) is one of the project managers of PEO IEW&S.
PM IS&A fields and sustains modernized intelligence systems that integrate best of breed solutions for the battlefield of tomorrow by providing cutting-edge solutions which enable the Army’s Intelligence warfighter accessing information from a wide range of network. PM IS&A, within the Mounted Systems platforms which provides the support and service outcomes to warfighters, manages the acquisition of the Cross-Domain Enterprise All-source User Repository (CENTAUR) system.
PM IS&A is responsible for increasing interoperability for joint and combined Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Family of Systems (FOS) and the broader Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E). PM IS&A implements agile Development Operations (DevOps) methodologies to deliver interoperability software and hardware (if necessary) to enable DI2E interoperability in alignment with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence OUSD(I) modernization guidance and the National Defense Strategy.
As part of the Army Life Cycle Management Center, PM IS&A will facilitate integration efforts to demonstrate opportunities for Intel and Command and Control (C2) synergies with DI2E. The CENTAUR provides electronic cross-domain chat, coalition data sharing, cross-domain DCGS Integration Backbone (DIB), and cross-domain Full Motion Video (FMV) common to all DCGS FOS and has begun integrating the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Warehouse Integration Interface (WII) and the Common Data Fabric (which supports the data transport and automates policy resolution), allowing agencies to share data quickly. The DIB provides a common framework to enable data exposure, transformation, and enables applications and users to discover and access information from a wide range of distributed sources. CENTAUR extends DIB’s capability and allows for cross-domain and cross coalition data flows.
