The U.S. Army is looking for industry expertise to help unify many of the service’s outdated systems into a single-user interface that can provide a common operating picture, according to a new sources sought notice.
The Army’s Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEOC3T) is looking for industry insight by Feb. 4 that can help integrate modernized solutions to help advance the Army’s mission goals across the service.
“Project Manager Mission Command (PM MC) envisions a comprehensive suite of software applications and services upon which warfighting functions are converged and future applications can be built,” the notice says.
“This effort strives to eliminate stove-piped legacy systems and consolidates mission systems and programs into a single user interface at command posts to provide a Common Operating Picture (COP),” it adds.
As part of this effort, the Army is looking for a Government-off-the-Shelf (GOTS) software application known as a Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) to achieve functionality across a variety of platforms.
“Baseline products are maintained by the Government’s TAK Product Center. However, PM MC is seeking a solution that will extend the capability of these baseline products, converge existing capabilities from other developers into the TAK ecosystem, and demonstrate a solution that meets current and future requirements,” the notice says.
Additionally, the Army said it is “interested in executing a 3 to 6-month competitive development iteration with multiple industry partners during FY24 using an existing contract vehicle such as the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) Systems Engineering, Technology & Innovation (SETI) contract to develop iterative prototypes.”
