A Process, Including A Business Process, May Be The Subject Of A Prototype Project. this Request For White Papers Is For Consideration Of Award For Phase 1 Of Dcra, As Described In The Sections Below. background: in A Multi-domain Environment, A Weapons System, Or System Under Test (sut), Utilizes A Variety Of Sensor Sources, Reconnaissance Imagery, And Intelligence Database Information To Form Accurate And Timely Targeting Recommendations. This Is Especially So For Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance And Reconnaissance (c5isr) Systems Supporting Anti-access/area Denial (a2ad) Weapon Systems. Currently There Is Not A Method To Provide A Realistic Multi-domain Environment To A Sut To Assess Its Performance In Ingesting And Processing Data, Providing Target Information And Recommendations, And Incorporating Simulated Battle Data Assessment (bda) Feedback Into The Real-time Common Intelligence Picture. The Dcra Framework Is A New Software Capability That Is Intended To Alleviate This Problem Through The Testing Of C5isr Systems In A Simulated Multi-domain Environment. Dcra Will Provide The C5isr Sut With Simulated Intelligence Data Consisting Of Both All-source (i.e., Entities, Attributes, And Relationships), Serialized Reporting, Target Lists/matrices, And Multiple Single Intelligence (int) Sources Including, But Not Limited To, Signals Intelligence (sigint), Geographical Intelligence (geoint), Communications Intelligence (comint), And Imagery Intelligence (imint). dcra Will Be Initially Focused On Target Nomination Support Data And Provide An Operationally Relevant Scenario To The Sut. Dcra Will Extract Sut Target Assessments And Necessary Internal Data, And Evaluate The Sut Performance, Accuracy, And Targeting Timelines Based On The Dcra Scenario That Was Provided. Though Dcra Is Currently Targeted For Integration With Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (titan), It May Be Integrated With Other Intel Systems. Dcra’s Intended User Base Consists Of The Pm Is&a, The Army Test & Evaluation Command (atec), And Other Organizations Within The Army And The Department Of Defense. the Statement Of Need (son) Document Provides Further Details On Dcra Background, Requirements Description, And Award Process.

Duration 15 -months): The Phase 1 Programmatic And Technical Objectives Include Creating The System Design, Developing The Initial Prototype For The Dcra Tool, Integration Of The Prototype Dcra Tool With The Sut And Assessing Sut Performance. (for Reference, Sut Performance Will Be Measured In Terms Of Accuracy, Targeting Timelines, And Target Recommendations.) The Government Intends To Accomplish This By Collaborating On Recommended Changes To The Design With The Vendor During Execution. The Vendor Also Will Be Expected To Develop The Software (sw)/system Architecture To Fully Define A System And Sw Architecture For Dcra And Fully Document, Deliver, And Demonstrate Its Processes To Support An Integrated Prototype System To Be Realized In Phase 1. Vendor’s Dcra Tool Will Need To Achieve An Authorization To Operate (ato) On Secure Internet Protocol Network (siprnet) At The Collateral Secret Level. The Vendor Selected For Phase 1 Should Plan On Attending The Milestone Events Which Most Likely Will Be Held At Ft. Cavazos, Texas phase 2 (estimated Duration 12 Months): The Primary Focus Of Phase 2 Is To Provide An Option If Necessary For Dcra Refinement Based On Sut. Further Refinement Of Dcra May Include Potential Software Adjustments To The Dcra Tool To Meet Sut Requirements Or To Improve User Interface Experiences. The Dcra Tool Will Most Likely Need To Achieve An Ato On Top-secret Sci Networks.phase 2 May Result In An Additional Request For A Proposal At A Future Date.
