- Description
- Request for Information (RFI) for TITAN Reference Architecture Feedback THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes � it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future.� This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever.� Further, the Army is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals.� Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party�s expense.� The Army has not made a commitment to procure any of the items discussed, and release of this RFI should not be construed as such a commitment or as authorization to incur cost for which reimbursement would be required or sought.� This notice is part of Government market research, a continuous process for obtaining the latest information on the status of the industry.� Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued.� The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government.� If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the System for Award Management (SAM) website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The United States Army, Project Manager Distributed Common Ground System � Army is seeking information on the current state of technology for a future mobile intelligence ground station architecture to operate at Brigade, Division, Corps, and Field Army echelons, in vehicles and shelters organic to the formation. The future intelligence ground station system will be called the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN). TITAN is anticipated to replace the current Tactical-Intelligence Ground Station, Operational-Intelligence Ground Station, Advanced Miniaturized Data Acquisition System Dissemination Vehicle and Remote Ground Terminal.� A critical ground station capability is the ability to interface with, receive and process a variety of sensor data feeds.� The future ground station will need to consolidate and/or reduce the footprint of existing Radio Frequency (RF) receiving/transmitting equipment, computing solutions, and provide the ability to dynamically scale solutions based on the user and echelon needs. The future ground station will leverage content delivery network (CDN) technology and distributed storage architectures to provide a seamless, cloud enabled Common Operating Picture in both cloud and on premise environments. ��A key focus will be providing a user friendly ability to receive sensor data and provide timely targetable data directly to the fires network as well as provide multi-discipline intelligence support to targeting, and Situational Awareness (SA)/Situational Understanding (SU) in support of mission command. Upon Industry request and after validation of the vendors CAGE code, the Government will provide the latest TITAN Reference Architecture document for vendors to use when formulating system concepts. The Government is looking for concerns, questions and/or issues on this reference architecture documentation.�� Responders are requested to provide: Concerns and recommendations regarding the TITAN Reference Architecture document, to include addressing the technical feasibility of its implementation. When providing a response, please reference what section of the document you are addressing. Please provide your CAGE code via e-mail to Ms. Abigail Jordan, Abigail.g.jordan3.civ@mail.mil and Ms. Prettina Duvall, prettina.j.duvall.civ@mail.mil.� The Government Reference Architecture document will be provided upon CAGE code validation.� � Responses should also be submitted via e-mail to the above addresses. Electronic inputs are due no later than COB 14 February 2020.� Questions regarding this RFI may also be sent via email prior to the due date.
