Unlike traditional acquisition programs that focus primarily on the development of a single system or platform, the Army IAMD Program is uniquely structured to enable the development of an overarching SoS capability with all participating Army Air Defense components functioning interdependently to provide total operational capabilities not achievable by the individual element systems. The Army IAMD program achieves this objective by establishing the Army IAMD architecture and developing the IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS) that provides Engagement Operations Centers (EOCs) implementing common Mission Command (MC) capability, an Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) capability for fire-control connectivity enabling distributed operations, and the common P&F B-Kits located on the EOCs and IFCN Relays that network enable existing sensor components and weapon components with the IBCS. P&F A-Kits are developed and integrated on the various Component Acquisition Program (CAP) weapon and sensor MEIs and are interfaced to IBCS, which implements the overarching IAMD SoS networking capability. The P&F A-Kits are currently under development by the respective weapon and sensor platform CAP prime contractor to address all unique interface modifications inherent to the component.
The IAMD Project Office, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, has a requirement for the P&F A-Kit which is a unique end item integrated into the Patriot weapon system that is not used by the general public or by non-governmental entities for purposes other than military/government purposes. Consequently, there are no commercial equivalent items or services available. The IAMD P&F A-Kit IDIQ effort includes the need for a classified Patriot system integration and test facility integrated with IBCS MEIs to support the integration and verification of the P&F A-Kit equipped RIU, as well as provide high fidelity IAMD/Patriot data products support to Government IAMD flight test activities commencing in FY 19.
The IAMD P&F A-Kit IDIQ effort also includes an effort to make P&F A-Kit modifications associated with planned/ongoing Patriot Post Deployment Build software effort.
The Government does not currently have available a technical data package for this effort.
Foreign participation will be allowed only at the subcontract level by waiver.
