Radio frequency (RF) Delivered Effects Platform – Man Pack 2.0 (RDEP-MP2)

The United States Army is seeking a lightweight, efficient, and man-packable CEMA system capable of being carried and operated by a single soldier. The system must integrate general-purpose processing, specialized graphical processing, storage, networking, Radio Frequency (RF) switching, software-defined radios (SDRs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), position/navigation/timing (PNT), tactical radio communications, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The solution must be modular and configurable to support mission-specific requirements, with a primary focus on a lightweight, man-packable form factor that enables single-soldier operation. Key features of the system include: • On-board or attached compute capabilities, including graphical processing unit (GPU) resources • Re-programmability of internal SDRs and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) using the Common Framework Environment (CFE) and/or Warped Alloy (WA) software frameworks • Intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that integrates seamlessly with established military capabilities • Remote control of RF platforms over-the-air (OTA) • Compatibility with established U.S. Army fielded Internet Protocol (IP)-based communications platforms • Support for OTA data transmission across other relevant Army Programs of Record
