RFI_Digital Engineering Ecosystem

The US Army is seeking information from industry on existing and new innovative solutions in the areas of digital engineering, virtual and augmented environment integration, market research, system integration, test and evaluation, and field support functions. The goal is to deliver enhanced capabilities across strategic mission partners, provide an enterprise approach, optimize the Soldier as a System (SaaS) concept, and enhance warfighter mobility, effectiveness, and ultimately, lethality. Some key areas of interest include: • Digital Engineering and Integration: Capabilities to establish a government-tailored digital engineering architecture and integration environment that supports digital twins, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), physical test beds, and system-of-systems analyses. • Virtual & Augmented Environment Integration: Capabilities to develop a unified virtual integration environment that incorporates hardware emulators, real hardware, and software simulation to support virtual prototyping before physical builds. • Integration Support: Capabilities to integrate COTS and GOTS solutions into the digital engineering environment, including hardware emulators, simulation components, and voice-control software. • Test & Evaluation: Capabilities to plan and execute test and evaluation activities for COTS and GOTS solutions, including data collection, benchmarking, results reporting, and validating correlation between virtual and physical testing.
