The Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command may have a continuing requirement for Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC).

Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) System Production, CEC Signal Data Processor (SDP) Production, and Repair requirements (hereinafter CEC System Production and Repair) to support the CEC program. The contemplated contract includes CEC System Production and Repair requirements for the United States Navy, United States Marine Corp, and Foreign Military Sales customers, for the manufacture, assembly, test, integration, and repair of USG-xB hardware suites and the SDP as well as the production of spares, Installation and Check-Out (INCO) kits, and ancillary equipment, and provision of associated engineering services.

The CEC program provides a sensor network with Integrated Fire Control capability that significantly improves strike force air and missile defense capabilities by coordinating measurement data from strike force air search sensors on CEC-equipped units into a single, integrated real-time, composite track air picture. The CEC sensor netting system improves the Naval Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) area air defense capabilities by extracting and distributing sensor-derived information such that the superset of this data is available to all participating CEC Cooperating Units. CEC fuses the distributed data into a single fire control quality air track picture that significantly improves unit track precision, consistency and continuity; expands detection range; and improves reaction time. CEC also improves strike force effectiveness by improving overall situational awareness and by enabling longer range, cooperative, multiple, or layered engagement strategies.
