Integrated Command and Control (C2) with Defeat Mechanisms

The contract seeks the development and integration of resilient command and control architectures that unify detection, targeting, and defeat systems into a single, cohesive mission thread capable of operating effectively under contested and degraded environments. The effort emphasizes robustness against adversary interference, requiring solutions that maintain operational continuity through electronic warfare, jamming, and other countermeasures while ensuring seamless coordination across sensors, decision-makers, and kinetic or non-kinetic effectors. This is not a standalone system procurement but a systemic integration challenge requiring advanced cyber-hardened platforms, real-time data fusion, and adaptive decision support capabilities that enable rapid, accurate, and survivable action in high-threat theaters. The subcontract is issued under the Department of Defense’s Immediate Office of the Secretary of Defense, with performance centered in Phoenix, reflecting a focus on leveraging regional defense technology expertise. The solicitation is open for responses through May 8, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 518210, indicating a primary emphasis on data processing, hosting, and related technology services that support mission-critical command and control functions. This effort is intended to bridge capability gaps in current C2 frameworks by embedding defeat mechanisms directly into the operational loop, moving beyond traditional separation between intelligence gathering and action delivery to create an inseparable, dynamic, and self-sustaining system resilient to disruption.
