Guam Defense System (GDS) Battle Manager Industry Day

The U.S. Army is hosting an industry day event to provide an overview of the Guam Defense System Battle Manager requirement. The event will take place on May 8, 2026, at the Bob Jones Auditorium on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. The purpose of the industry day is to provide information about the GDS Battle Manager and to allow potential contractors to ask questions and learn more about the requirement. • The GDS Battle Manager is a critical component of the GDS, serving as a joint Command and Control (C2) layer that integrates existing Department of War (DoW) C2 systems to provide a common operating picture (COP)/common tactical picture (CTP) and fire direction to defend against both ballistic and non-ballistic threats. • The industry day event will include presentations on the strategic and operational need of the GDS Battle Manager, a high-level requirement overview, and information on the government reference architecture. • Interested participants must register for the event by emailing Barbara Cantrell and Andrea Russell with their name, email address, company name, and CAGE code.
