The AOC WS comprises diverse hardware, software, third-party applications, and web services requiring comprehensive platform, infrastructure, and application integration strategy. The system must remain operationally available and mission capable 24/7/365 in highly contested environments and interoperate with other Department of War systems. The program prioritizes Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) and Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) solutions to accelerate integration and deployment.
