The next iteration of the Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) will consist of a single foundation with one coherent SW continuum at all echelons, in the cloud and on edge devices, that will provide a modular and adaptable software suite of essential capabilities across the Intelligence Warfighting Function (IWfF).

• AIDP will serve as a scalable, flexible and resilient intelligence platform, capable of supporting dynamic operational needs while maintaining robust accessibility and adaptability, and a future-proof intelligence framework that enhances operational effectiveness at all echelons.

• AIDP will provide a comprehensive suite of intelligence tools and services to support analysis, decision-making, and operational effectiveness

• Delivery post prototyping: Rapid iteration and delivery of a Minimum Viable Capability Release (MVCR) of a modular foundation for the next iteration of the Army Intelligence Data Platform.

Intelligence Analysis

ATP 2-33.4, Intelligence Analysis, Figure 2-1:

The intelligence analysis process

The Intel Analyst’s Workflow:

• Screen multi-INT intelligence collection data and reporting (data ingest)

• Analyze to determine data relevance and prioritize analytic effort (data processing)

• Integrate additional or external resources (multi-domain, multi-dimension, classified enclaves)

• Produce doctrinal products to support:

• Intelligence Preparation of the

Environment (IPOE)

• Information Collection to answer Priority

Intelligence Requirements (PIRs)

• The Targeting Process

• The Operations Process

• The Assessment Process

• Disseminate: Higher, Lower, Adjacent, Joint, and Coalition (interoperability)

Intelligence Analysis

ATP 2-33.4, Intelligence Analysis, Figure 1-5:

All-source analysis across the echelons

The Problem:

• Multi-domain sensing has increased intel data volumes

• Interoperability with National, Joint, Theater Army, and Corps and below collection systems is challenging

• Processing large data sets into relevant data for analysts at echelon

• Increasing complexity at echelon – Battalion priorities vary greatly from Theater Army priorities

• Timely, accurate, relevant, predictive, and tailored intelligence assessments at the speed of an increasingly digital fight

User Perspective

Current Challenges

• Interoperability with supported / supporting systems (“swivel chair”)

• Cloud dependence

• Bandwidth requirements

• Unintuitive or non-doctrinal workflows

• Different user experience for the same tasks across different tools

Interoperability Expectations

• Vertical and horizontal data interoperability Across all echelons With other Army Mission Command systems (present and future) With the US Intelligence Community With other Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Partners

• Emphasis on open architectures and standards

• Importance of modularity and extensibility

So ur ce s

Local Data Sources

1. Data is ingested by AIDP in the Cloud

2. Content is extracted and updates the global CIP

3. Relevant subset of the global CIP is shared with the Edge

4. Edge also receives local reporting and updates the global CIP

5. Upon Disconnect, Edge continues operations using last known Global CIP + continued local updates

6. Upon Reconnect, Edge and Cloud resynchronize the global and local CIP based on missed reporting

Problem Space:

- Peer to Peer, and Mesh Synchronization Technologies

- Resilient to DDIL Challenges (Bandwidth, Latency, Jitter, etc.)

- Able to address Data Primacy challenges

- Support for 3rd Party Integration (APIs, SDKs, etc.)

Understanding Your Solution

AIDP Outcomes that Impact the Analyst:

• Reduce Analyst Cognitive Burden

• Improve Data Accessibility (cloud to edge)

• Strengthen security posture without sacrificing speed of processing

• Accelerate Decision Advantage

Cost Structure Transparency:

The ability to clearly define how costs scale and what drives total ownership:

Prototype Licensing Structure

• Licensing approach during prototype period

• Platform vs support cost separation

• Transition model from prototype to production

• Cost implications for expanded user base or platform integration

Life-Cycle Cost Breakdown

• Pricing model basis (e.g., per CPU/core, per user, per node, per unit, or hybrid)

• Sustainment, updates, and operational support assumptions

• Cost scaling assumptions across operational environments

Cost Transparency:

• Identification of cost drivers and variables

Execution Approach:

• Realistic path from MVP capability to operational MVCR state: Schedule realism while outlining internal agile methodologies for execution

• Ability to scaling capabilities without re-architecting the platform

• Demonstrate how the approach can be modified to operate cohesively with other vendor solutions to deliver a scalable, mission-ready AIDP ecosystem (teaming)

• Minimize training burden due to intuitive nature of platform

Note: This is not the official evaluation criteria. Evaluation Criteria will be included in the Final CFS.
