The Department of the Air Force awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a potential value of $950 million to Hypergiant Galactic Systems, Inc. to support the Advanced Battle Management System program. The contract is a multiple-award IDV under which the Air Force has issued two firm fixed price delivery orders worth $3.8 million each to Hypergiant for advanced battle management systems work in Austin, Texas from July 2021 through August 2021. The originating broad agency announcement sought concepts for a content delivery network solution to position data hosted in ABMS cloud environments and fixed sites closer to deployed mobile nodes, with submissions accepted through February 2025. The ABMS program aims to develop networked command, control, communications and intelligence capabilities for the joint warfighting force through family of systems and network solutions across all domains.
The delivery orders awarded to Hypergiant under the ABMS IDV are for products and services that support the Air Force's objectives to enhance capabilities by enabling any sensor to inform any shooter in any domain. No set-asides or subcontractors were identified for these orders. The broad agency announcement indicates the Air Force seeks a cloud-agnostic content delivery network solution that can cache and distribute various data types and applications securely at multiple classification levels to edge nodes globally. This IDV and associated solicitations aim to rapidly advance the Air Force's networked battle management capabilities through innovative technology solutions procured from companies like Hypergiant.
