Unmanned Common Controller (UCC) for the United States Marine Corps

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is conducting market research to identify potential vendors for an Unmanned Common Controller (UCC) solution. The UCC should be a portable, modular, open-architecture control system capable of operating multiple unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Key capabilities of interest include cross-platform interoperability, multi-aircraft control, mission planning, payload control, data dissemination, and integration with higher-echelon C2 networks and ATAK-based applications. Vendors are encouraged to submit a capability white paper outlining their proposed UCC solution, including its architecture, subsystem interfaces, and integration artifacts. • The UCC should support multiple UAS platforms and provide a common interface for mission planning, execution, and post-mission analysis. • The solution should be modular, scalable, and secure, with a focus on open-architecture design and compliance with Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) principles. • Vendors should provide information on their experience with similar systems, their approach to cybersecurity and supply-chain risk management, and their plans for future development and support. • The Government is interested in understanding the current state of industry capabilities and identifying potential vendors for future acquisition strategies.
