RFI - Deployable Tactical Communications

The Air Combat Command (ACC) Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC) is seeking information from qualified vendors regarding innovative and readily deployable tactical communications solutions to support expeditionary operations in contested, forward-deployed environments. The primary focus for this RFI is on technologies that can readily demonstrate communication infrastructure, networking capabilities, security solutions, classified solutions, antenna systems, power solutions, and integration services. Interested parties should respond with a maximum of 10 pages, including any diagrams or images, detailing a solution or solutions that show rapid deployability, resilience and reliability, security, interoperability, scalability, low size, weight, and power (SWaP), ease of use, and system maturity. • The solution should be easily and quickly deployable by a small team, achieving "wheels down to comms up" within minutes. • The solution should be resilient to jamming and interference, with capabilities for autonomous failover and contested spectrum operations. • The solution should provide robust security features, such as Zero Trust security principles, cyber resiliency, segmentation, and automated recovery. • The solution should be interoperable with existing USAF infrastructure and demonstrate cross-domain data sharing capabilities. • The solution should be scalable to support varying numbers of users and operational demands. • The solution should minimize SWaP to facilitate deployment and mobility. • The solution should be user-friendly and require minimal training and operator intervention. • The solution should have a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of 7 or above.
