Should I wait for the RFP to be released?

Summary

The desired TACOS solution must deliver an integrated, scalable suite of capabilities as a survivable, expeditionary, and interoperable C2 platform providing reliable ATC services in support of Agile Combat Employment (ACE). The system shall provide, at minimum, the following capabilities: Expeditionary, Modular, and Mobile Design: The TACOS architecture shall be non-proprietary and adhere to a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) governed by a Government-owned system architecture, enabling rapid integration of third-party hardware and software while remaining sensor-agnostic across current and future data sources. Open, consensus-based standards shall govern the large majority of Government-defined Key Interfaces so that hardware and software can be decoupled, and cloud-ready software containers shall allow individual capability modules (including Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning (AI/ML) decision aids) to be upgraded, replaced, or added without disturbing the rest of the system. The solution shall be lightweight, compact, and ruggedized for sustained operation in austere, expeditionary environments, and rapidly deployable and reconfigurable to satisfy the personnel, setup-time, and logistical-footprint demands of each operational configuration.
