The scope of the work includes emerging technology investigations in information processing, language translation, speech recognition, collaborative planning, automated tools to support decision-making, over-the-horizon communications to support amphibious operations, and planning tools to support Marine Corps operation at the levels of command. Products generated from performing these services range from technical reports, concept of operations, product specifications, and design options to development of hardware and software prototypes. Understanding of the Navy and Marine Corps command and control procedures and military doctrine is essential to this procurement.
