COMMAND AND CONTROL PROCESSOR (C2P) MODERNIZATION (MOD) SOFTWARE ENGINEERING SERVICES (SES)

C2P Mod is a software development effort that will leverage the existing CLIP architecture and is intended to deliver the same functionality and capabilities as the current C2P Tech Refresh system with additional enhancements, such as Link 22 Data Link Process (DLP) functionalities, Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Interface Change Proposals (ICPs), Communication as a Service (CAAS), and Cybersecurity requirements. Currently, CLIP supports a Common Host Interface (CHI) and terminal interfaces for Link-16, Joint Range Extension Application Protocol (JREAP) A and JREAP C, but has architecture to support additional data links such as Link-11, Link 22, Variable Message Format and others. The scope of this task order is to provide software support activity (SSA) engineering services for the C2P Mod system. The effort includes: research, software development, system engineering and design, defining requirements, modeling, defining system architecture; reengineering/re-hosting of tactical data link system applications; system level hardware and software integration; system interface tools development; testing, evaluation, configuration management, and project management. The engineering support, integration, and testing will take place in NIWC Pacific's Tactical Data Link facilities, such as but not limited to, the Combined Test Bed (CTB) and the Program Generation/Combat Direction System Development and Evaluation Facility (PGC). The CTB is a dynamic re-configurable TDL / Advanced Tactical Data Link (ATDL) test and integration lab providing service and capability in support of developmental and operational TDL/ATDL evaluations including testing, certification, validation, engineering, and integration of TDL/ATDL software and systems. Both labs consist of tactical systems, test tools, network connectivity, engineers, technicians, and trained operators.
