2. BACKGROUND AND SCOPE The United States (US) Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Special Warfare (SW) Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN) is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of providing a small form factor, lightweight, cross domain solution (CDS) for Internet Protocol traffic 3. CAPABILITY GAP These must be capable of passing Curser on Target (CoT) data, TAK data CoT Protocol Buffers (ProtoBuff) and video between SOCOM Classified networks and Unclass / Partner force networks.

The system must be ATO/ATC for connection to SOFTNET Secret domains and all fielded radios for USFOR to include COTS radios typically allocated to partner force Trellisware (TW 950). Forward edge cross domain solutions will allow deployed teams to integrate partner forces into the kill chain, rapidly closing the chain efficiently and effectively through low-latency Machine-to-Machine inclusion of sensor data and intelligence.
