- Description
- This Request for Information (RFI) is not a solicitation. This RFI is being issued to conduct market research for information and planning purposes for a source for design, development, and operational support of the Tactical Air Control Party - Modernization (TACP-M) Program's Close Air Support System (CASS) Software, design, development, and support effort. TACP CASS Software provides critical enhancements that can be used to communicate with various types of platforms over various networks. TACP units communicate with other ground units and with aircraft via direct radio contact using Variable Message Format (VMF), Air Force Application Program Development (AFAPD), or Marine Tactical Standard (MTS) and via the Link-16 network or the Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) network. The TACP-M Program is working towards satisfying all current software requirements with the fielding of each TACP CASS spiral. Currently, TACP CASS Software version (v) 1.4.1, fielded and operational, resides on the Dismounted systems and also on the Air Support Operations Center Gateway (ASOC GW). TACP CASS Software (v) 1.4.2 is in development and will replace TACP CASS (v) 1.4.1 and also reside on Gateway-Lite (GWL). TACP CASS Software (v) 1.4.3 is also in development and is specific to the Vehicle Communications System (VCS). TACP CASS (v) 1.4.4, which will establish the first common baseline between all TACP systems, has recently completed its final requirements phase and is expected to be fielded in 2012. TACP-M is currently expecting to fulfill all current software requirements with the fielding of TACP CASS Software (v) 1.4.6 in 2016.
