Project Manager Terrestrial Sensors (PM TS) Market Research for Enterprise Command & Control (C2) Capabilities for Air and Ground C5ISR Systems

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) seeking Command-and-Control (C2) software technologies and capabilities for integration with ground and air platforms within the Project Manager Terrestrial Sensors (PM TS) portfolio, including systems such as Ground-Based Operational Surveillance System (G-BOSS(E)), Persistent Surveillance System-Tethered (PSS-T), and Tethered-uncrewed aerial systems (Te-UAS). The government is specifically seeking information on platform-agnostic C2 software solutions at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 8-9 that can provide enterprise-level capabilities and complete situational awareness across multiple system-of-system platforms. Key requirements include integration with biometrics, live sensor data fusion, HD Full Motion Video analytics, automated detection and tracking, artificial intelligence and computer vision capabilities, and interoperability across military messaging systems and various network environments. Evaluation criteria emphasize detailed information on technology capabilities, technical roadmaps, system performance metrics, implementation costs, licensing structures, interoperable systems, integration complexity, and existing government partnerships. The response deadline is January 5, 2026, at 1500 EST, with submissions limited to a 10-page Capability Statement sent to rosetta.wisdom-russell.civ@army.mil, and the government has explicitly stated that this RFI is for information gathering only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of future contract award.

This is an unclassified RFI with no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractors or award values are specified in the solicitation notice. The government has indicated openness to both novel and mature technologies, though they have also noted that while they will consider Technology Readiness Levels 6-7, they are unlikely to support developmental activities needed to reach TRL 8. Implementation and verification are expected to involve field testing, and the government indicates a preference for solutions utilizing the Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) and Unified Data Reference Architecture (UDRA) in accordance with policy requirements. Interested vendors are advised to monitor the RS3 portal and SAM.gov for future formalized solicitation opportunities that may follow this market research phase. The place of performance is Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with responses focused on providing comprehensive technical and capability information to support the government's market research objectives for enterprise C2 capabilities integration.
