Advanced Threat Detection System (ATDS) Request for Information and Industry Day Announcement

The Army is initiating a competitive program to develop the Advanced Threat Detection System (ATDS) as a program of record to fulfill mid- and long-term defense requirements. Alongside this long-term effort, there is an immediate need for an interim missile warning system to address more urgent operational demands before the ATDS program fully begins. The Army is exploring various acquisition strategies for this near-term need and intends to invite as many industry sources as possible to participate, aligning with mission parameters. The solicitation, issued by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc-rsa office at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, was posted in March 2017 under NAICS code 334419, which pertains to specialized electronics manufacturing. The contract point of contact is Stefanie Polk, the designated Contracting Officer, reachable via email and phone. This effort reflects the Army’s commitment to advancing missile defense capabilities by engaging industry partners early and broadly during the information gathering and acquisition planning stages.
