Industry Announcement

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Global Hawk Program Office (GHPO) Ground Station Re-Architecture (GSRA) is developing new capability in support of the Unmanned Aerospace System (UAS) Command and Control (C2) Initiative (UCI) Working Group for a Common Ground Station. The release of the GSRA Specifications for the CGS is to benefit commonality and efficiency for the future Ground Stations. While no opportunity to compete the CGS currently exists, the GHPO desires to keep industry aware of the effort for future phases of the program. No competition is anticipated in FY12 or FY13, but the GHPO desires to open communications should an avenue to compete future work exist.
