Secure Linux Software Development & Integration

The contract entails the development and integration of secure Linux-based software tailored for ARM-SOLOX CPU modules to enable SBC5 capabilities on the LCAC C4N system, a critical component within naval computing architectures. This work requires deep expertise in embedded systems, real-time security protocols, and hardware-software co-design to ensure the software meets stringent military-grade certification and operational reliability standards under constrained environments. The software must be optimized for the ARM-SOLOX architecture while maintaining compatibility, performance, and resilience against cybersecurity threats in deployed maritime platforms. Performance of the work is designated to take place in Panama City Beach, Florida, 32407, and the subcontract is set under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The opportunity was posted on July 1, 2026, with proposals due by July 7, 2026, indicating a compressed timeline demanding rapid mobilization and precise execution. As a subcontract under the Department of Defense and specifically managed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, the effort aligns with broader modernization initiatives for naval command, control, and communication systems, necessitating strict adherence to federal security and compliance requirements without public disclosure of technical specifications.
