Taiwan Improved Mobile Subscriber Equipment (IMSE) Version III Experimental Force (EXFOR) FMS Case: TW-B-ZAW

The Improved Mobile Subscriber Equipment (IMSE) Version III system shall provide and support mobile and secure, voice and data communications to the Taiwan Army Tactical Operations Center (TOC)-level command posts (CPs), and remote (mobile) users, while addressing evolving Taiwan Army doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership, personnel and facilities changes. Expected reduction in forces, along with the proliferation of data, command and control (C2), and situational awareness (SA) systems require the IMSE system to be more agile and capable, while increasing the capacity to support Taiwan Army communications. The IMSE Version III system shall provide the capability of voice and data networks for the Taiwan Army Tactical Operations Center (TOC)-level communications by employing technological improvements in radio transmissions, data networking and packetized voice, while minimizing system footprint (power, size, personnel and logistics train). Included with the deployment of the IMSE Version III systems are a tailored logistics package and support architecture to maintain a high rate of readiness of equipment and personnel.

It is the objective of this program to develop, deliver, field and support an experimental quantity of enhanced Improved Mobile Subscriber Equipment (IMSE) nodes for the Taiwan Army. The contractor shall provide the products and services to support a Total Package Fielding (TPF) strategy. In order to reduce cost and schedule, it is therefore desirable for the contractor to maximize use of the existing IMSE Phase II equipment's.
