1. Scope The contractor shall provide a commercial item that is a software-only solution to meet the Intelligence Support to Targeting (also known as ISTT) capability that serves to capture multiple intelligence support to targeting doctrinal attributes with a digital matrix and a digital visualization tool, enabling the intelligence user to track High Payoff Targeting (HPT) activities within a single view as applied to a given Army operation.
1.1 Background
PM IS&A is a Family of Systems that provides our Army with advanced analytics, support to targeting and situational understanding to commanders. It processes, exploits, and disseminates information and intelligence about the threat, weather, and terrain and provides tactical and operational ground stations that downlink data from national, joint partners and Army sensors. As technology evolves and new warfighting requirements emerge, the PM’s capability set needs to be updated to meet the user needs.
The ISTT requirements address the need to modernize and enhance the capabilities of Army’s intelligence at the tactical echelons. The contractor’s solution shall meet the capabilities called out in the Performance Requirements Documentation (PRD). The PRD may be tailored as applicable at the delivery order level. The Contractor’s ISTT software is intended to be hosted in the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI).
The ISTT capability shall align with multiple overarching directives, to include the Army’s Common Operating Environment (COE). The ISTT shall support net-centric military operations by being interoperable with current Army, Unified Action Partners, Joint Service, Allied, Coalition, and Command and Control information and ISR systems. ISTT shall operate across the Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), Secret Coalition Networks, and Unclassified security domains, and within and across all COE computing environments.
The PM IS&A ISTT Intel Application will continue to contribute to visualization and situational awareness, maximizing combat power and enhancing the ability to operate in an unpredictable and changing environment throughout the operational spectrum. This application serves to capture multiple intelligence support to targeting doctrinal attributes with a digital matrix and a digital visualization tool, enabling the intelligence user to track HPT targeting activities within a single view as applied to a given Army operation.
