Amendment 001:
Amendment 001 adds two (2) Technical
Collaboration Exchanges (TCE) topics to the
announcement.
--------------------------------------------
Naval Information Warfare Systems
Command (NAVWAR) and Naval Information
Warfare Centers (NIWC) Atlantic and Pacific
announce the Information Warfare Research
Project (IWRP) Consortium Quarterly
Industry Day hosted by ATI, the IWRP
Consortium
Management Firm, at the San Diego
Convention Center on Tuesday, June 25,
2024. The event will include a Keynote from
Mr. Troy Gunter, Director of Contracts,
NAVWAR 2.0, IWRP program and
consortium updates, technical briefs, and
one-on-one break-out
sessions with scheduled IWRP Consortium
Members.
Technical briefs presented during the IWRP
Consortium Industry Day will include a
variety of information-warfare focus area
topics. It
is anticipated that the topics will be the
basis of upcoming Requests for Prototype
Projects (RPPs) to IWRP Consortium
Members. This
is not a Request for Prototype Projects, but
for planning purposes only. A project will
not be awarded from this announcement. In
order to obtain more information regarding
the below projects, you must be a member
of the IWRP Consortium. For more
information
on becoming an IWRP consortium member,
please visit https://www.theiwrp.org. The
purpose of this announcement is to provide
members of the IWRP Consortium, and
industry in general, advanced notification of
Government intent.
The Government anticipates soliciting five
(5) Requests for Prototype Projects (RPPs)
for white papers, enhanced white papers or
full
proposals via N65236-22-9-0001. RPP
topics will include a technical brief and one-
on-one break-out sessions. The RPP topics
consist
of the following:
1.24-LANT-2154 Inline File
Encryption Device (IFED): Development of
an IFED to support Combat Data Systems
2.24-LANT-2174 Combat Data
Systems Mission Planning Server Prototype:
NIWC is currently seeking technical
solutions for a
modern computer hardware suite capable of
supporting 5th gen fighter mission planning
environments.
3.24-LANT-2234 Combat Data
Systems Cross Domain System (CDS):
Provide a CDS prototype to support the 5th
gen fighter
Combat Data Systems PMO.
4.24-PAC-2254 Trusted
Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC):
The Government is looking for CSfC that
meet the
requirements of the Mobile Access
Capability Package (Trusted Thin Client).
NAVWAR is faced with a growing
requirement for classified
access. This effort will greatly enhance the
ability of the workforce to have access to
classified networks to accomplish NAVWAR
mission in spaces not certified for storage or
processing classified information.
5.24-PAC-2255 High Gain Narrow
Band Antenna: The HGNB project aims to
provide the HGNB Antenna to fulfill Navy
shipboard
Requirements. The HGNB Antenna shall
provide a Ku/Ka-Band Very-Small-Aperture
Antenna (VSAT) that is compatible with the
Ku and
Full Ka-Band frequency (Commercial and
Military Ka).
The Government will be presenting two (2)
Technical Collaboration Exchanges (TCE),
which will include a short brief and round
table discussions. The TCE topic consists of
the following:
1. 24-PAC-2294 Reliable wireless
underwater data exchange: The
Government is seeking to engage with IWRP
consortium members to discuss potential
prototype solutions for reliable underwater
data exchange. This capability is crucial for
oceanographic data collection, enabling
monitoring of marine life, tracking
environmental changes, and mapping the
ocean floor in real time. It enables
coordination of surface and subsurface
systems, allowing them to navigate the vast
oceans and seas. The Government is
specifically looking to hold discussions on
Communication and Networking protocols,
Interoperability with RF and cabled
networks, PNT, Reliability, Security, and
Standardization and Compatibility.
2. 24-LANT-2274: Navy Learning Stack
(ILS) Tools: The Navy is seeking a Technical
Collaboration Exchange (TCE) to explore the
potential to prototype e-business
capabilities used in academia and/or
industry that could be applied to support
modernization initiatives for sailor training
that support the Naval Education and
Training Command (NETC) Navy Training
Process (NTP) and Ready Relevant Learning
(RRL) initiatives. Capabilities of interest
include:
Learning Content Lifecycle Management
Student Information Management
Integrated Scheduling
Training Data Analytics &
Recommendations
Course and Quota Management
User Experience Management
Training Delivery
