- Description
- This Sources Sought Synopsis is in support of a market survey being conducted by the Air Force to determine potential sources capable of designing, developing, integrating, and testing a Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (BMC4I) subsystem for the Multi-Sensor Command and Control Aircraft (MC2A) weapon system. The MC2A is the key piece of the MC2 Constellation that will extend the commander's eyes and ears while serving as the primary element of the C2 architecture. The first increment of MC2A will utilize an MP-RTIP radar on a 767-400ER with a BMC4I suite that provides initial battle management capability to include ground moving target indicator missions, Cruise Missile Defense, UAV control, and time critical targeting in support of the Air Operations Center. The second increment is planned to add Airborne Early Warning and Control capabilities. The MC2A will be fully integrated within the architecture of joint combat and ISR systems, space-based systems, and all-source intelligence exploitation systems to achieve the highest predictive battlespace awareness. The BMC4I subsystem consists of all of the non-radar and non-aircraft subsystems including the central computing architecture, networks, data storage, data manipulation, data fusion, data exploitation, communications and data link capability. An Acquisition Ombudsman, Colonel Joseph P. Maryeski, Director, Commander's Staff, has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during proposal development. You should only contact the Ombudsman with issues or problems you cannot satisfactorily resolve with the program manager and/or contracting officer. The Ombudsman role is to hear concerns, issues, and recommendations and communicate these to the appropriate government personnel. The Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality if desired. The Ombudsman does not evaluate proposals or participate in source selection. You can contact the Ombudsman at (781) 377-5106. See Note 26.
