- Description
- This is a special notice prepared for the Automated Test Systems (ATS) Division at Robins AFB, GA and is issued solely for information and planning purposes. The ATS Division is requesting industry feedback on feasibility and ability to implement, as well as general comments on the attached Government Reference Architecture (GRA). The goals of the GRA are to benefit from maximizing component and subsystem reuse, limit non-recurring engineering, and reduce development cost. The use of the GRA will increase commonality across systems, enable improved system interoperability, and reducing development costs by using well defined interfaces and standardized tooling. The GRA will emphasize open architecture design with known open standards. The GRA will encourage use of open software rather than proprietary software solutions. The use of open standards will facilitate future capability upgrades by reducing difficult integration challenges and proprietary interfaces. The use of open standards will increase competition by allowing more participation. The intent of the GRA is not to stifle creativity, rather to provide Industry with design� guidance and constraints. The Government is including a copy of the in-work GRA for Industry to provide comment and feedback. No agreement will be awarded from this announcement. This is not a proposal request or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation, nor is it a request seeking contractors to be placed on a solicitation mailing list. Response to this special notice is voluntary and no reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to it and any follow-on information requests. Data submitted in response to this special notice will not be returned. No solicitation document exists at this time, and communication requesting a solicitation will not be answered. Instructions: Please ensure data is in a readable electronic format that can be received through a firewall. �Attachments shall not to exceed 10 MB per email. Multiple emails are acceptable.
