Synopsis

The Space Systems Command (SSC) in support of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Cheyenne Mountain Complex-Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (NCMC-ITW/AA) Program Office is seeking information on how an interested contractor could provide information relative to modernization of the Combatant Commanders Integrated Command and Control System (CCIC2S) infrastructure.

Background

CCIC2S provides timely, unambiguous, and continuous Missile warning of air, missile and space threats to North America, and geographical theaters. CCIC2S is a unique, integrated, C2 “system of systems,” that provides data communication between external sensors and end users, mission processing for air and missile warning mission and system operations functions. The system consists of terrestrial and space-based sensor outputs, C2 nodes, and communication and dissemination links.

Objectives
The NCMC-ITW/AA Program Office is actively evaluating modernization pathways to ensure sustained operational relevance and enhanced mission responsiveness of the CCIC2S System of Systems. This RFI is to provide the NCMC-ITW/AA program office assistance in market research in the identification of innovative solutions to support the modernization of the CCIC2S program to bring the CCIC2S infrastructure and systems to a next generation of systems that enables rapid development and deployment of enhanced capability to meet the needs of the warfighter and rapidly adapt to the emerging threats of the future.
1. NCMC-ITW/AA would like to understand industry capabilities to address the following levels of effort to support CCIC2S modernization while continuing to satisfy all the CCIC2S Operational Requirements. The four (4) Levels of Effort are:
1.1. Modernization of CCIC2S Operational Architecture
1.2. Modernization for CCIC2S Development Architecture
1.3. Provide integrated enhanced capabilities to address the needs of the warfighter for air, missile, space, and emerging threats while providing an unambiguous picture of the graphical user interface (GUI).
1.4. Provide enhanced next generation cyber operations and capabilities.
2. Supporting the levels of effort defined in paragraph two above, provide recommendations on acquisition strategies that best enable multiple tranche demonstrations and rapid delivery of capability.
