The Department of the Air Force awarded an indefinite delivery contract with a potential value of $950 million to Steeple Group LLC for advanced battle management systems. The contract has a period of performance through May 2025 and aims to procure solutions that support the Air Force's Advanced Battle Management System, including a content delivery network concept. The original solicitation sought information on positioning data hosted in ABMS commercial and fixed site environments closer to deployed nodes. The CDN solution must be cloud agnostic, provide consistent caching, and buffer static data, software and firmware updates, mission data, and full motion video. It must also enable deprecation of stale data, be accredited for security enclaves up to TS/SCI, and include capabilities like video buffering, application aware rate limiting, and web application firewall. The solicitation indicates the Air Force intends ABMS not as a single program but an open architecture family of systems enabling cross-domain capabilities for joint all-domain command and control through trusted networks and intelligent algorithms.
