Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE) Cyber Range Development Software Application Project (Simulated Internet for Cyber Range Training Events)The Army Contracting Command Orlando, supporting the Program Executive Office Simulation Training, Test and Threat, is seeking information from vendors on the development of a simulated internet capability for the Persistent Cyber Training Environment, known as Grey Space. This RFI aims to evaluate commercial solutions that can deliver a highly realistic, scalable, and isolated cyber range environment for military training, mission rehearsal, and cyber operations experimentation. The simulated internet must replicate complex real-world internet infrastructure—including backbone networks, public services like DNS and email, automated user agents, adversary infrastructure, and defensive tools—while maintaining strict logical separation from live networks. The platform must integrate with PCTE’s existing two-plane architecture, which separates control functions from training environments using VMware Cloud Foundation, NSX-T, and Red Hat SSO, and must support high-fidelity protocol simulation such as DNSSEC, BGP hijacking, HTTPS inspection, and autonomous root-CA hierarchies. Capabilities for generating realistic background traffic, emulating global routing tables, and scaling to thousands of concurrent sessions are critical. Vendors are expected to detail their solution’s architecture, deployment options on-premises or in the cloud, compatibility with VMware and containerized environments, and the ability to use public IP ranges without risk of traffic leakage. The solution must enforce robust isolation between control and event planes, include automated sanitization and reset functions, and support comprehensive logging, replay, and after-action review. Security requirements emphasize air-gapped operation, data confidentiality, and containment of non-STIG-compliant entities without compromising the underlying infrastructure. Integration capabilities with standard messaging buses like Kafka or RabbitMQ, open APIs, and compatibility with PCTE’s existing governance systems are essential. Responses must include company profiles, case studies, and marketing materials, and be submitted by 4 pm ET on July 21, 2026. This request is for information only, with no obligation to procure, and no compensation will be provided for submissions.
