Description
The United States Air Force is seeking innovative partners to lead a comprehensive transformation of its Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. The current legacy environment is outdated, inefficient, and hinders the "Global Reach" mission by compromising operational speed, data sharing, and overall warfighter effectiveness. The objective is to overhaul this system by assessing existing architecture, developing a forward-looking roadmap, and integrating modern technologies across core, cloud, and edge environments.
The key areas of interest include:
• Operational Inefficiency: Aging hardware and antiquated software result in slow performance, frequent outages, and an unsustainable maintenance burden, diverting critical resources from mission-focused activities.
• Poor Scalability and Resilience: The rigid, on-premises infrastructure cannot scale to meet new mission demands, surge capacity, or ensure rapid recovery from disruptions.
• Degraded Warfighter Effectiveness: These combined limitations create a slow and siloed system, directly impeding the rapid, data-driven decision-making essential for projecting modern airpower.
