On February 18, the U.S. Air Force
posted a request for information (RFI) for Mission Partner Command and Control (C2) and
Intelligence Information Sharing Capabilities. Responses are due by 3:00 p.m. Eastern on March 6.
This RFI is
issued for the purpose of communicating the Mission Partner Environment (MPE)
requirements to industry. SAF/CDM intends to use information gathered from
these interactions to gain an awareness of capabilities, determine interested
parties, and to support formulation of an acquisition strategy. Early industry
involvement in creating a properly scaled enterprise solution is critical to
the success of this contemplated acquisition, with the goal of providing
SAF/CDM and its customers with superior and cost-effective technical service
support.
The Mission Partner Capabilities Office (MPCO) executes the Secretary of the Air Force’s responsibilities as Executive Agent for the MPE. The MPE provides enterprise level, worldwide interoperable C2I information sharing capabilities with Mission Partners (e.g. federal departments and agencies; State, local, and tribal governments and agencies; non-governmental organizations; private sector organizations; Allies, coalition members, host nations, and other nations; and multinational treaty organizations) to share strategic, operational, and tactical information with all participants through all phases of military operations.
