--Convergence/Divergence on 21st Century Warfare

The Defense Contracting Command-Washington is set to award a sole-source contract to the Hudson Institute, Inc. to conduct a specialized research project focused on the evolving dynamics of 21st century warfare. This effort will explore key topics including non-traditional and new concept weapons, the adaptation of assets, missions, and organizations, as well as information warfare and asymmetrical conflict. A critical aspect of the research involves examining the convergence and divergence among select countries and analyzing the implications for U.S. National Security. The Hudson Institute will also provide briefings to selected Department of Defense officials based on their findings. This contract will be awarded without a solicitation or competitive bidding, as allowed under FAR Subpart 6.302-1 for cases involving only one responsible source. The work is sponsored by the Department of Defense, specifically from the Adap Spt Office in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The initiative aims to provide valuable insights for military strategic planning and policy formulation in the context of emerging global security challenges. The research and its findings are expected to support the evolving operational and strategic needs of the U.S. defense establishment.
