About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify sources capable of providing a ruggedized laptop and router system for Command and Control (C2) operations. The key requirements include the ability to connect various radios via USB, interoperability with Satellite Deployable Node (SDN) systems utilizing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) services, and the capability to pass situational awareness and targeting data using protocols like Cursor on Target, JREAP-C, and VMF. The system must meet stringent specifications for ruggedness, cable management, material availability, network connectivity, security features, and operating system compatibility.
This RFI is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. There is no set-aside designation, and the Government has not provided any information about potential incumbents or current contractors. Additionally, the Government has not specified any award values or budget ranges, nor has it indicated the quantity of goods or timeline for services required.

1. NOTICE
This Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS)/Request for Information (RFI) is issued for informational purposes and market research only; it does not constitute a solicitation. The Government will not reimburse any company or individual for any expenses associated with preparing/submitting information in response to this posting. The information provided may be used by the Government in developing its acquisition strategy, statement of work/statement of objectives, and/or performance specifications. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained within their response as instructed later in this posting.
2. BACKGROUND AND SCOPE
The United States (US) Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Special Warfare (SW) Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN) is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of providing a single case with access to NIPER/SIPR containing a ruggedized router and ruggedized laptop for Command and Control (C2) operations.
3. CAPABILITY GAP
The Command and Control (C2) Laptop system or laptop and router system must allow radio Universal Serial Bus(USB) connections to establish network connection for ethernet traffic. Must be able to plug in radios with USB cables and create and modify network connections: PRC-167, PRC-163, PRC-117G, PRC-161, PRC-160, PRC-137, RT-1922. Shall be interoperable with a Satellite Deployable Node (SDN) with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) services / Medium Earth Orbit Services (MEO) and MANET radios at a ST element forward. It would be used as a Command and Control (C2) system to pass SA and target data using Curser on Target (CoT), Joint Range Extension Application Protocol (JREAP C), Variable Message Protocol (VMF), and Chat between the forward combat elements and command nodes. Special Tactics (ST) Forces will field a transit Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC) kit to network and provide C2 data via TSM-X and other MANET data into SOFNET-S and translate this to JREAP-C data.
