It is the Government's intent to obtain information from interested parties that have the capability to upgrade existing instrumentation to support the future mission needs of testing at the system level and in a Force-on-Force Network Centric Warfare (NCW) environment. It is the intent of PEO STRI to expand on the existing capabilities of the Army's existing Improved Field Data Collector version 4 (IFDC) v4. Responders must be familiar with the IFDC v4 concept and have the means to grow and expand its current capabilities to support the future mission objectives addressed below: Task 1. The contractor must develop a National Security Agency (NSA) approved method of upgrading the IFDCv4 to handle classified data up to the Secret level when it is deployed on Army tactical vehicles in a realistic operational testing or training environment, including the ability to network with test control in a secure, distributed environment. Task 2. Upgrade 74 IFDCv4s using the NSA approved methodology from the Task 1 effort. Task 3. Upgrade the 74 existing IFDCv4s with the application of a USB 2.0 interface(s) without degrading any of the IFDCv4's current data collecting interfaces. Task 4. Develop a separate man pack data collector capable of storing 20 gigabytes of data. Task 5. Develop a GIG-E LAN collection capability. Task 6. Contractor Technical Support to include on site support, support via telephone, and electronic communication means for the IFDC v4 Upgrade following its delivery. Task 2 is dependant upon successful completion of Task 1 and availability of funding. Tasks 3-6 are dependant upon availability of funding and may be established as option CLINs. At this time, funding in the amount of $1.4M is available upon contract award.

The delivery schedule of the NCW-DBI is anticipated to be no later than 12 months after contract award. A limited amount of IFDCv4 equipment/boxes will be available as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).
