USSOCOM issues mission system architecture sources sought

On July 18, the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) issued a sources sought notice for mission system architecture and command and control systems. Responses are due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on August 2.

USSOCOM Special Operations Forces (SOF), Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L), Directorate of Procurement, is seeking information to identify potential sources for market research purposes only.

USSOCOM is considering a contract for the procurement and sustainment of an open mission system architecture and a command-and-control system with advanced on-aircraft compute, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and dissemination capabilities.  Systems will provide operators the ability to command and control, collect, analyze, and share information from multiple SOF aviation and ground platforms in an expeditionary form-factor via man-portable Tactical Common Datalinks.

This Sources Sought Notice is seeking any flexible, stand-alone, aircraft agnostic, open mission system architecture and command and control system solution capable of being ported to any air or ground vehicle currently integrated, tested, qualified, and produced with an approved Air Worthiness certification for the MQ-1C/ER unmanned aircraft systems.  The system should be able to demonstrate capabilities for aided target detection and recognition, an open-standards-based middleware infrastructure, services to support host-platform data feeds from the MQ-1C/ER mission computer and avionics data buses, and support for Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing onboard an MQ-1C/ER.

Review the full USSOCOM mission system architecture sources sought.
