The Project Manager for Tactical Network (PM TN) in support of Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) seeks to identify small form factor, modular and scalable at the edge computing and transport cloud applications using low latency high throughput links that meet NGC2 Transport, Infrastructure, and Architecture requirements for On-the-Move (OTM) and At-the-Quick-Halt operations.

Systems will support module style plug and play with Standardized A-Kit/Vehicle Envelope (SAVE) chassis and leverage a universal baseband platform that is M55181/2-01 and M55181/4-01 power connection compatible for the OTM and quick dismountable kit. Solutions will be able to support Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA). PM TN also seeks mountable and transport capable SATCOM solutions to meet both PLEO and GEO options for transport.

These will be both platform and dismounted solutions to enable warfighters across the formations. The key need is an integrator who can assist with: Tailoring configurations to Government chosen technologies. Supporting large-scale testing and deployment of selected technologies. Analyzing results and iteratively refining the design, incorporating new configurations or Government selected technologies, in collaboration with PDSS.
