The Department of the Air Force awarded Microsoft Corporation an indefinite delivery contract under the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) master agreement, with a potential value of $950 million. The contract has a period of performance through May 2025 for the delivery of advanced battle management systems to support the ABMS program. A $2.06 million firm-fixed-price delivery order was also awarded, with work taking place in Redmond, Washington through February 2021.
The original solicitation sought concepts for a content delivery network to provide data abstraction and positioning capabilities in support of ABMS. The network would cache and forward various data types, including static files, software/firmware updates, and full motion video, between ABMS environments in commercial clouds and fixed sites. It would also offer capabilities such as application-aware traffic management, video buffering, security at multiple classification levels, and web application firewall services. The overall goal is to network all U.S. military assets as envisioned by the Joint All Domain Command and Control concept.
