- Description
- THIS SPECIAL NOTICE IS BEING RELEASED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SERVES TO BENEFIT THE GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY. THE GOVERNMENT IS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR BEST PRACTICES AND INDUSTRY FEEDBACK TO INCLUDE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS REGARDING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. THE m-FoCS REQUIREMENT WILL BE SOLICITED ON A FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION BASIS IN A FUTURE ANNOUNCEMENT UNDER THE SOLICITATION NUMBER W15P7T-12-R-0001. DRAFT VERSIONS OF THE PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR THE m-FoCS HAVE BEEN ATTACHED FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT. THE GOVERNMENT WILL ACCEPT INDUSTRY FEEDBACK AND/OR QUESTIONS FOR TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE POSTING OF THIS SPECIAL NOTICE. ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT LATER THAN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE CLOSING PERIOD FOR SUBMISSION OF FEEDBACK. The Army's modernization effort of the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) has introduced a multitude of new and improved Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) equipments that will enhance the soldier's ability to plan, monitor, communicate and execute the mission. Each C4ISR system designed their own unique hardware to meet its stated operational requirement / mission. Installation of these C4ISR systems into command and control vehicles has become difficult due to space restrictions. Multiple Processors, Displays, Input/output and communications devices and installations kits within a command vehicle have reached the saturation point. The Size, Weight, Power and overall Cost (SWAP-C) involved with duplication of computing hardware for all these C4ISR systems is a major concern. The m-FoCS hardware (referred to as Mission Command Common Computing Platform (MC3P) in prior presolicitation announcements) is a means to alleviate these concerns.
