## Description

**Request for Solutions:** Combat Systems Integration Lab (CSIL)

**Project PURPOSE:** This Special Notice is issued to provide awareness of the release of a Request for Solutions (RFS) for an other transaction project in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4022. The Combat Systems Integration Lab (CSIL) Project has been issued as part of the Maritime Advanced Technology Consortium (MATAC) managed by Advanced Technology International (ATI) and administered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division.

**BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY:** NSWC PHD lacks a dedicated AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) hardware suite and a modern artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) capability to support automated analytics and decision support.

As a result, when ships report problems, the ISEA must rely on hardware assets located at existing land-based test sites on the East Coast at the Combat System Engineering Development Site (CSEDS) and Surface Combat Systems Center Wallops Island (SCSC WI), competing for time on these systems to resolve shipboard issues. The limited hardware assets are scheduled months in advance and are frequently not readily available to support NSWC PHD ISEA efforts.

The same limited availability of hardware assets also affects PHD support to combat systems development including maintainability testing and document validation.

A prototype virtual system integrated with existing stand-alone weapon systems at PHD can provide an available platform for engineers and technicians to recreate reported problems, collect critical data, assess software stability, and support evaluation of proposed solutions, while also serving as the foundation for developing and testing advanced, data-driven analytical tools. A dedicated virtual prototype will significantly reduce the corrective action timeline.

A dedicated virtual system will also allow supportability teams to verify and validate maintenance systems and materials before systems are deployed on ships.Other Transaction Consortium Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of MATAC. Interested parties may visit MATAC.org for membership information.
