1.0 Overview

1.1 Objective. The objective of SMDIS III is to provide Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) and operational support services under a multiple award, indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ), task order type contract for U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) / Army Forces Strategic Command (ARSTRAT) and agencies which collaborate with them on definition, planning, development, and execution of Space, Missile Defense, Global Strike, Information Operations, C4ISR, and related missions.

1.2 Background. USASMDC/ARSTRAT elements are located worldwide. The command is organized to lead and focus the Army’s efforts to integrate space and missile defense capabilities into tactical operations and to protect the nation and our deployed forces from missile attack.

USASMDC/ARSTRAT has gone from an organization focused on developing an effective counter to missiles like the German V-2, to the current organization as the Army command focused on exploring and exploiting the opportunities of space, meeting the challenges of missile defense, and serving as the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) for US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). USASMDC/ARSTRAT is focused on customer needs and the future.

1.3 Vision & Goals. USASMDC/ARSTRAT’s vision is “To provide dominant space and missile defense capabilities for the Army and to plan and integrate Army capabilities in support of USSTRATCOM missions.” In pursuit of this vision, USASMDC/ARSTRAT conducts space and missile defense operations and provides planning, integration, control, and coordination or Army forces and capabilities in support of USSTRATCOM missions; serves as proponent for space and ground-based midcourse defense; is the army operational integrator for global missile defense; conducts mission-related research, development, and acquisition in support of Army Title 10 responsibilities and serves as the focal point for desired characteristics and capabilities in support of USSTRATCOM missions. Helping commands to “Provide dominant capabilities and force enhancement to the Army and Joint Warfighter” and “Improve infrastructure and support to enable the force to fulfill its strategic roles and missions” are major goals of this contract.

3.3.4 Contractor shall support any and all elements and aspects of Joint, Allied, Coalition, Army, and other Service Cyberspace Operations (CO). Cyberspace is defined by the Department of Defense as, “A global domain within the information environment consisting of the interdependent network of information technology infrastructures, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems, and embedded processors and controllers.”

Emerging Army Cyberspace doctrine considers it a man-made domain that uses the electromagnetic spectrum and is contiguous to and increasingly pervasive throughout the four traditional domains (land, air, maritime, and space). As is the case with the four traditional domains, cyberspace is part of the operational environment and may be contested and become the venue for its own unique form of operational activity (hacker wars, for example). It can also serve as a medium through which combat power can be projected and create cognitive (human and machine) and physical effects in the other four domains.

3.3.5 SMDC/ARSTRAT requires operational and technical planning support for CO forces, capabilities and organizations, and must monitor changes in Cyberspace that are driven in large part by private industry research and development.
