- Description
- The focus of this RFI is to seek information from existing consortia, and individual firms, regarding modular, software-defined radio architectures and frameworks based on commercial and/or popular standards, and which might incentivize competition among potential off-the-shelf component providers. The purpose of this initiative is to learn and apply best of breed industrial techniques for digitalization, virtualization, and modularization that are better suited to rapidly evolve. It will also enable users to customize and scale a radio’s capabilities to suit individual requirements. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC)/XZC/HNJJ is leading an effort to explore ways to develop an ORCA framework. The lack of common systems and standards among developed or developing radios has decreased interoperability while increasing costs and cycle times. Previous open standard architectures have been defined e.g. Open Mission System (OMS), which is defined as developing and demonstrating a consensus-based, non-proprietary, open architecture for integrating subsystems and services into airborne platforms. The Air Force is requesting information that will assist the USG <del datetime="2016-12-07T15:31" cite="mailto:NELSON,%20AARON%20V%20CTR%20USAF%20AFMC%20AFLCMC/HNJJ"> to define an ORCA for airborne platforms.
