Industry Feedback on NGC2 Emerging Architecture

The United States Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is requesting feedback from industry for the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) emerging architecture. The NGC2 ecosystem provides commanders and units with seamless cloud to edge access for application and data services. The Army is seeking feedback on three main areas: vision for composability in the NGC2 technology stack architecture, data layer design pattern, and assessing readiness for deploying software in the NGC2 technology stack. • The NGC2 ecosystem supports Army operations for Corps and below. • The NGC2 technology stack requires novel technical and business approaches to achieve Warfighting objectives. • Industry feedback is desired to identify viable technical and business approaches to realize the vision for a NGC2 composable architecture. • The Army is intentionally experimenting with new approaches to collaboratively design NGC2 with industry. • Ongoing prototypes have complementary but distinct approaches for the NGC2 architecture that have informed design patterns in the emerging architecture.
